Celica Beams or FTO Mivec?, what should I buy? Options

[celica_maori]

I am trying to choose between a Mitzibishi FTO mivec or Celica SS3.
Ive taken the FTO for a test drive and found it very responsive and what a awesome sound! But was disapointed with how rough it felt on the road.

I wana test drive a Celica SS3 to compare but cant find a yard in close proximity that has one..Questions:
1. whats the SS3 drive like?
2. has it got the kick of a mivec kickin in?
3. is it smoother to drive (than a FTO)
4. how much Hp does a stock SS3 produce(beams and non beams)
5.whats the power difference between SS2 and SS3 (of same year?)
6. for thoose that have driven a FTO mivec and the celica which do u prefer??
Please help meeee! Un biased comments would be good!

a very tough choice...The FTO has a great engine in it, being a very small V6 that puts out respectable power and is quite smooth. As far as the handling, CAR magazine (uk) said that its handling was second only to the integra type R for a front-wheel drive car, back in 2000. With that comes the rough ride. However, on the other hand, the celica has a much more sophisticated interior, better reliablity, and an awsome 4 cylinder. I suppose it all depends on if you are going to mod the car up or not. If you arent you probly would be best off getting the celica, seeing as it is a more complete package from the factory. If you are going to make your car faster, however, I'd choose the FTO, seeing as its V6 has awsome potential. Be aware though that nearly all of the FTO's with mivec came with mitsubishi's INVECS-II automatic transmission.
