I had to get a new clutch in my car so I didn't have it for a week b/c the shop was backed up. I did not know how much I would miss my car.. (94 ST). While it was in the shop I had the chance to drive all my roomies cars. I drove a 94 Honda Accord, 94 Integra, 97 Ford contour V6, 96 Jeep wrangler. I tell you from all those cars, my celica handled the best and had the 2nd best Accel (integra faster). I read all these posts how the celica handles so well and I tell you it is soo true.
The Accord took off slower than the speed of smell and handled like ****. The Jeep, well its a jeep, so thats a diff catergory(but it was fun to drive, I reccomed driving on if you get the chance). The ford was faster than the accord b/c of t he v6 but handling was **** and I still think my ST is faster off the line. It was slow. The integra had great pickup, but I didn't handle the corners as well as my Celica does. I also prefer the interior of the Celica to all the cars that above. The only mods I have are SRI, and front strut bar. I love my car soo much more now that I drove other POS's. Has anyone else experienced this and Loved your car more than before?? |

I have like 4 friends (girls) who all drive eclipse GS's....all of them have had problems at some point with them. Same thing with my friends who drive accords too, like random crap goes wrong with them like gas tank problems or the check engine light comes on constantly.
After a year and a half of owning my car ive had nothing wrong except a CV joint that needed replacing, but thats nothing out of the ordinary for a 94. It's also faster and way nicer than any N/A Eclipse ive ever been in, and handles waaaay better than anything ive driven, minus the BMW Z4, but that doesnt count. From what ive seen in comparison, it doesnt get much better than the fine balance of sportiness, handling and ride quality, and practicality of the 6th gen celica, thats why im so glad i happened to buy one. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
