6gc vs 7gc Options

[daazndood]

hey guys. well, my brother has a 2001 celica, and i have a 1999 celica.

people are always telling me that i could have just got 1 year up and got a 7th gen, but i always just asnwer "why? i dont want the 2000 one" and they always just answer by saying they think its "better"

but to tell you the truth, i like the 6th generation one more. its more unique in a good way. to me, the 7th generation one looks a bit too stubby and it looks like the rear got cut short and the back bumper is HUMONGOUS. im not hating on the 7th generation, cuz they are great cars.

7th gen gets HELLA good mpg.

and i read somewehre that the 7th gen GT 0-60 is 8.5? thats pretty much the same as the 6th gen.

If you more then 6.4" tall like me, you just dont fit in that little car. 6th gen has much more space then 7th gen.
I also Like the 7th ,but one more thing is the tranny on 7th gen. 5th gear goin bad. There is some lubrication issue.
I'm not sure what exactly it is? Anybody has idea about this?
And yes quality. 6th gen is better than 7th overall( that's my opinion)

AMEN

being tall and owning the 6th gen has worked out well for me, personally im not a fan of the 7th gen's exterior look. I feel as if its too tall and not wide enough. The 6th gen to me has that nice wide hood and once lowered oh boy it looks amazing. This is all opinion of course but that is why i own two 94' celica's and will probably never own a 7th gen.


PS: i read an article somewhere saying that the 6th gen's were produced of a better quality and when toyota made the 7th gen they lowered that elvel of quality due to lack of sales with the 6th gen.

Someone mentioned the 7th gen being created to race honda's

^ i think that is a fairly accurate statement.
