celica vs other coupes, handling Options

[Euphoria]

hey, I know what everyone is thinking, we all know the 6th gen isn't the fastest car in its class, this isn't gonna be another one of of those threads but with everyones experiences, how much better or worse does the 6th Gen generally handle compared to other cars in its class such as ford probe/mx6, prelude, integra, hyundai coupe etc etc.

Fensport are just down the road from me, will be paying them a visit soon i think

back on topic, the other cars i considered/test drove but dismissed before buying my 1994 GT:

Mitsi FTO- Nice car but loads of thing go wrong with them once the miles get high. Which costs loads to fix unless you have lots of space time+ money (I have none of the above lol) every one I looked at had noisy tappets and serious rust round the engine mount on the wheel arch which was worrying

MR2- In the UK it always rains, MR2s are very scary in the wet, I'm too young to die

Mazda MX5-Engine too big (V6 2.5)=expensive road tax

Alfa GTV- Made by Fiat-'nuff said

Fiat Coupe-As above

Mazda MX-3-Too small+girly

So there we go, although I haven't test driven all the above cars, the Celica ticked all the right boxes and everyone I told "I'm going to have a look at a Celica GT next" all said "oh they're good cars" which was confirmed by test driving my current car.

Oh and its cheaper to insure than my previous car (VW Passat 1.8) which is a bit odd but good also hehe
