What about the reliablity of the Celica compared to the Eclipse? Didn't Mitsubishi have reliablity problems in the past?

Why not go for a used M3..? or 300ZX-TT as other have suggested?

Prelude = nice but bland
Eclipse = ugly, bland, no style, tiny dick-itis syndrome
Celica GTS = hell yeah, kickass styling, light weight, kick ass interior, and sweet 6-speed manual

I'll go for a used BMW M3 ... I think you can get M3 '96 or '97 if you are lucky with that budget..

man.... celica and eclipse will eat M3's dirt.

OMG NSF4, hwo the hell could u even bare to look at a Celica? Those are the biggest piexes of shiit out there. SLow as crap and ugly as hell. For 23 grand, skip the jap crap completely and get a Volkswagon GTI. Will burn all of the japanese cars u listes and will make the celica look like a toy.

The GTI may not be the slickest looking car on the road, but that little bastard is a freaking blast to drive.

Too bad that was only with the 1.8t, I never had the chance to burn some gears on the VR6 version.

Dammit :D

Oh, and the GTI was the only one that didn't take a shoe horn to get in and out of.

LOL. I was going to say mortar block, but brick will do..

I don't think a stock GTI out performs a Celica GT-S either. :)

those two celicas are ugly as dung. nice rice spoiler on that red one. i wonder if that's even designed to provide downforce? they probably forgot about that when putting it on. everyone go vote in the poll i have up.

i drove a GTI VR6 and talk about fun! that thing Rocked! peeling out in my neighborhood, neighbors looking at me, children running away screaming. it was fun.

The Celica would be better if they hadn't flared the headlights so much. Still, nothing is as ugly as the new Integra. My god, they freaking ruined that car!!!!!!! :p

Just think...the Celica will be considered mooey phoo as all previous Celicas have. I can't stand looking at a 1990 Celica...even if it is the All-Trac. The '93-98 Celicas didn't look too bad, but they look more bloated the more I see them.

The '89-94 Diamond Star coupes? Please...they look extremely cheap, save the '90 Mitsu Eclipse GSX...and even then it doesn't hold a candle to this Bavarian stormer:

BadAss' Bad ass Car

You better believe it's a design that is nearly 11 years old.

The Corrdo is a bit boxy looking for me. It does have that cool strick spoiler that raises at 45MPH though :)

Hell, screw the Corrado, I'd rather have a '95 Probe GT :)

You did not just say you'd prefer the Probe GT to a Corrado SLC...YOU DIDN'T! NANANANANANANA I didn't hear you... NANANANANANANANANANANANANANA....

Aww hell you did...

Ford Probe's so...umm....common and regular.

Could it be true that the car you have, is the car that identifies to your personality?

Nah...couldn't be...else i'd be driving a Ferrari 550 Maranello:)

Wait...flicking boogers is considering exotic isn't it? Hehehehe:p
