I am new to 4gc. I don't own one yet but i'm looking to buy one. I was wondering if I should go for the GT or the ST? I'm looking for reliability and economy mainly as I have a Supra I'm working on for my performance car. what are some of the common problems for these engines / cars that I should keep an eye out for. also if anyone is selling in the north jersey area I'm interested. Thanks

4gc? LOL you mean 6gc. Anyways, welcome! Go GT cause it's easier to deal with, swap-wise anyways. They're both equally reliable if taken care of, otherwise the normal oil leaks on the 5sfe (GT).

Well in that case it wouldn't matter. ST would give you excellent MPG.

u might hate the ST becuase it's fricking slow.
 hahahaha. I'd say a GT. It's nice power for a daily driver and still decent MPG.

If you're just looking for a reliable DD, doesn't matter. Whats your budget looking like? Its really maintenance that needs up keep. Strut mounts will start to clunk. Hatch struts are common to go bad, with the 4 6gcs that belongs or belonged in my household.
Just maintenance work and yo'll have a solid DD. -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer

GT's get 28-32 mpg, depending on how you drive it. ST's can get upwards of 34-35. But the ST is the most torqueless, powerless car you'll ever drive. If you want a car for looks and gas mileage, ST all the way. But the GT just has more power at any RPM. That's not to say that it's fast, because it isn't. I would recommend getting a GT over an ST, but you can't go wrong with either one.
