Ok, I was just wondering if there's a difference between the convertible, hatchback, and coupe GT's. I've noticed that convertibles are a lot easier to obtain than hatchbacks and I really wouldn't mind a convertible sometimes. The engine's the same right (V4 2.2L). Any weight difference or anything like that?

umm there is no such thing as a V4... its an I4, or inline 4. and yes they all have the same engines, GT with the 2.2l and ST with the 1.8l

First off, theres nothing different in the GT's engine. Secondly the H/B is the most widely produced Celica and therefore the easiest to get. Like Chrobis said its an inline 4, the convertible weighs the most, the H/B second and the Coupe is the lightest.

actually there have been, but around the mid 60's people realized its much more efficient to make a 4 cylinder inline rather than in a "v"... There are only a few cars that i can think of off the top of my head that had V4's, real early saabs did (like late 50's), ford of germany it the 60's made V4's for taunus' and other german fords, and prolly the most famous V4 being the one used in the Lacnia's of the 1960's like the Fulvia. the Lancia V4 was actually very strong for a 4 cylinder back in that time period (65 to 71), and in the fulvia coupes it had a very sucessful rally career, where it could make up to 170 hp (remember this is late 1960's). Just thought id let you know! -------------------- Car #3: 98 Accord LX- purchased 5/06, totaled 8/06
Car #2: 95 Celica GT- purchased 8/03, current daily driver Car #1: 01 Focus ZX3- purchased 5/01, sold 8/03 |

Yea I know what you guys mean ... I say V4 cause it's are more used term. But thanks for correcting me, I know it's inline. And you say Hatch was most widely produced huh? I'll take your word for it but I find it much easier to find a convertible. Anyway, thanks for the information.

the reason convertibles are easier to find is I've heard that the motors go out for the top. and when they are up they look like coupes and we all know how ugly those are.

Seems to me all you can find are Conv.'s... at least in my area. A local search of celi's for sale on autotrader brings up mostly Conv.
I don't understand why anyone would want a conv personally. It just seems impracticle to me... (did I spell that right? oh well  )I guess it's all personal preference. Just seems retarded to buy one in my area. It's too hot in the summer to have the top down, so it becomes pointless. |
