Any you guys know if this car is worth touching?
My parents are getting me a new car and I have a feeling they will get the Conquest over the Sportivo (mainly of course, because of price). But it still won't stop me in trying to make them get it  .
Either way, if I did get the Conquest. Can any of you guys help or give tips in what I could do to it?
Thanks.

I've got a 2003 ascent (hatch) and it drives pretty well, its got good pickup, decent ratios for gears - but don't expect to rev too far over 6k...*bastard rev limiter*
on another note - bodykits seem a bit hard to get so far *and the TRD supercharger is expensive*

Seen some dyno sheets showing ~ 80Kw at wheels stock (which is pretty fair imo from a 100Kw engine). You could probably get closer to 100Kw with CAI & exhaust mods, Penrith Toyota claim 115Kw is possible!!!
I've got a 2K3 Conquest & i'm pretty happy with it (well, apart from the 4x4 ride height). Neighbours got one aswell

If you can't get the sportivo, why not try for a Levin??? Alloys, mild body kit, fog lights and interior highlights...

well for one i dont wanna really get a 2door car due to the fact that id probably crash it in an instant, too much $$ for insurance and rego, etc etc..
only unless i really find one that i want, but im too picky.. plus im not sure if they are worth it..
if i dont get the new corolla, i was thinkin of gettin a 323 astina hatch.. not the yucky fat looking ones..
but err i dunno.. i just need a car that would last me, thats also why i aint sure of getting an older car and fix it up, all that dosh would probably add up to a brand new car.. but oh well..

Yah i got my 02 Ascent lowered (don't mind the rice, it was a....ahhh 'faze') Super Low King Springs, handles heaps better, and i actually scrape occasionally!
It's Mah Rolla
My two loves...*sigh*
And the family, Mums 03 Saab 9-3, Dad's 97 528i (with M5 rims), and my Rolla. My bro just moved out so their used to be AE112 lowered with 16's too, we used to have crazy sound-offs, i have 1 12" and he has 2X10's
But the Rolla's do pull quite nicely, work the gear box and get the rewards

just cause its a 2 door car doesent mean u ill crash it easily
and if you get a non turbo, the car is rather heavy and not enough power to be too dangerous
