LOL....
I had a nice long read..
I'd have to put a vote down for the corolla sx here...
LOL...
The corolla SX Seca are good cars if u want to rev, but u have to wait a bit to get the serious power in these things... comfort it pretty nice, the interior is pretty nice....
But yeah The reason I reckon the celica SX is still the right option for me is this:
The celica SX is more smooth, U don't have to work it so hard to get the performance, the seating position is nice and low, and u really do feel like ur driving a sports car, The handling is still pretty impressive even with the state that the shocks would be like these days, But as many people do this, they replace the Shocks, and Springs, And add a rear sway bar (this will make the back of the car hold a better line, and also oversteer is added to the choice of driving techniques if u know how lol!) The 1985-1989 Celica SX was one of the best handling Front wheel drive cars in its time...
Max power is reached at 6000rpm, and a few mods like Cold air intake, exhaust and extrators (plus suspension) would make for one awesome car....
Fuel economy is very good too.. It might not be the same as a 1.6, but u don't have to work it (or rev it) as much to get the power..
Thats just my view..
I still love the corolla sx as a great little car, But I find the celica sx just brings out a bit more style..
The 3sge is just like a bigger sister version of the 4age, Fair bit more torque too....
Did i mention Pop up lights???
This has been 60 Minutes with Adrian DeBono
By the Way Rob, U guys thought me sooo much......
Thanx again u guys...
The celica st-162s don't weigh much at all... Its about 1200kgs ish... the corolla seca is about 1080kgs
But remember u've got an engine that will accomadate the weight of the car well...
FWD CELICA sent me some Wheels magazines Reviews on the celica sx, I'll post em up at some stage for all to see... It was sooo good in its time that they actually compared it to the likes of the toyota supra, Holden Piazzo, Nissan 300zx, and a couple of other cars...
Damn good cars in other words,
Did i mention decently priced?
Regards
Adrian
