I have a ~200hp Civic hatchback, but it's going on 4 years old and I kinda want something new soon. How do you guys like your GTS's? I've beaten a few in my car on the street, but with a few mods they could probably take me. Let me know if I should look into it. I may test drive one, but I hate going through all the hassles of giving them my phone# and crap.

A brand new one, a nice blue or white Celica GTS. If Lambos were common would that make you not want one?

Regular one. The factory kitted Celicas are a little ricey, and a waste of $3k+ which could be put into the engine. A wrx would be too expensive, especially with insurance and my, um, lengthy record :(. I don't buy used cars btw, I learned my lesson the hard way.

i do....except my 1st car's frame was bent and i didn't know it....lesson learned there...
personally....i'd keep the civic...but ur kinda limited due to the engine u have as far as more power is concerned....and going NA is very expensive with our Hondas.....but for a change of pase and a different set-up....go with the Celica....

Yeah I could have 500hp under the hood, but the car is just so budget. It would be a highschooler's dream car, but I'm looking for something a bit elevated in the comfort/options area. I don't know.. do you feel what I'm saying?

i'm sure that if u had a different engine u'd probably feel different......but sometimes u need a change of pace or something different...

I have a GT and i can say after my Madza 626 im a big fan.... Ive had no probelms withit thus far... once again ill recomend going to NewCelica.org with your question as the many people there can answer not only the comfort question but if you want to do something with the car they can adress that too. Peace.
