i SO wanted a celica. the suspension is better, i like the narrow shift gates, i love the cockpit style interior, i like the storage cubbies, i love the look of the car, steering was good, engine was smooth, transmission was great (i thought so anyways). problem?
sunroof, leather, fog lights, wing, better stereo system - $37,000!!!
rsx had:
no fog lights, no wing
did have heated seats, heated side mirrors, climate control, cd-changer, engine immobilizer w/ security system, slightly faster - $34,500
so... since i WORK for my money (kinda), i bought the cheaper car. ah celi, one day you will be mine!
Toyota has put a rev limiter on the celi, which is why the best acceleration comes from the 2000 model year. other than that, it's really who's the better driver.
