Thinking...., is it worth it? Options

[SlowCelica94]

So the more i think about getting a 3s, i also think, "maybe i should just buy an MR2 turbo.". Look at it like this. I could net 5k for my celica, easily. It'll cost $3k to swap ($1,000 for labor, round $2k for clip and accessories). So if I just saved the 3S cash and sold the Celi, I could buy a MR2 turbo. Then I'd have rwd over fwd, and mid engine.

Pros: Mr2 is sexier, stock for stock, imo
RWD, mid-engine
t-tops

Cons: horrible winter driver.
I don't think mr2s can be built to look as sexy as a celica. Celicas can look so diverse.
Insurance will jump.
2-seater.
Limited space, my college is an hour away from my hometown where my gf and parents are. Can't carry too much.

These are just some things I was pondering on. What'd you guys think? Is it worth it to have rwd, baby ferrari (looking), 3s powered car? Or do i stick with the celi, be as fast as mr2turbos, and look really diverse, still with low insurance and winter driveablilty?

I drove my car to put some air in one of the tires today and I still have a hard on. You dont just get power with those cars, you get wicked control, a smooth ass ride, and chicks love it Sadly Im selling mine this tuesday because of money issues but I fully intend to get another next spring! They are just sexy cars, for whatever reason they dont photograph very well, but in person you just wanna hump them! BUt one now!haha

Trunk is actually not bad, cram **** in the front bay if you want.

Insurance will be the same if not cheaper believe it or not.

2-seater=no more giving people rides everywhere

There are alot of kits for the mr2 and done right they look just as good as a nice celica, besides everyone just gets that gayside kit that every kid and there mom has on every make and model of car ever built.

And for the winter get winter tires and you'll be fine, its pretty easy to handle the power of these cars.

And dollar for dollar an mr2 will always be faster

I dont know where you are getting diverse out of the celica comunity, theres like 3 versions of that car you always see around, veilside, erebuni skirts/lips and gt4 makeover. Mr2s have the wide body kit, border, veilside, toms, greddy, and others that I dont know the name of. Both have pleanty of kits available, but I see more diversity in the mr2 community.
