MacPhearson struts are not considered sporty suspension by any means. They're simple, efficient, and cheap to produce... 6th gen Celicas (US versions), are only good handling cars, IMO... but not the head of the pack. I mean, they use recycled designs from past generations, designs which may have been ok for their time, but 6th Gen Celicas have a very tough time on the track against the likes of Integras, Preludes, and even the occasional Civic. Civics, Preludes, and Integras all use front and rear wishbone suspension, which is a much more sporty suspension set-up than Macphearsons struts. The other factor of course, is the power difference, but overall, I'd say the Celica is a good handling car. It's not a badass or anything like that, but it's a good handling car. It's weight distribution is only decent too... (different sources list it between 65/35 F/R and 61/39 F/R for FWD models)... GOod handling car, but it's no Miata. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
