My Brother had a 2.0GT for a few weeks. Don't think the economy is that clever tbh.

GT-Four is VERY quick for the money.
I'm considering one next.
Who really cares about economy?

I can't see the 1.8 been that bad on fuel

they aren't that quick, quite heavy and they aren't the best on handling.

I like Supra's too. I'd have the N/A obviously.. But it's just running costs 
I want either a celica or a supra.
Fed up of a little 106

I think people often overlook handling qualities and regret it afterwards, its only when I get in my mums rover 416 and go round a few corners I realise how much quicker I can go in my 106.

5.2 Seconds to 60 is not 'that' quick eh?
Parkers is wrong, before anyone looks... Evo magazine is right.

But then they are actually insurable, unlike Evos and Subarus.
