having driven one - then my Gt4 back to back i found the following.

Vision in the new one is shit - the St18X series has much better rearward view and not such a huge blindspot

Engine - zippy - but no different to my friends current corolla - needed its neck wrung to encite any excitement compared to boosted 3sgte grunt and sheer ballrtearing grip on the road - Liked the gearbox - nice short shifter - 6 grears freaked me about - and you were constandly searching for gears to keep it in that rev range - My st205 Gearbox + factory shifter feels just as sweet - with lesss need for searching

handling - Nicely poised - easy to duck about thru corners - brakes were ample but id feel spirited driving would kill them pretty quickly - but i dont feel it would overly match a Gt4 in the hills unless it was very tight - once again - less torque - needs more power !

Styling - Stock - it looks ordinary - with the TRD bodykit and rims etc it looks horn

Would i buy one - NO ! theres better toyotas for the money

Why?

I can get a St205 group A WRC or lesser group a or GT4 for less change than a new zzt - still have money for powerups - have much better handling , and wilder looks , plus shitloads more grunt to play with - AND have something thats truely a sport ( if compared to another celica ) car worthy of the title
