I work for Toyota 
But i cant be arsed to tell you about them  lol
...
Na jokes. There good cars alot better than the newer Celica's imo.
Faster, Reliable, Just check the underneath as there prone to rust on the underbody....as many old japense cars do, but especially Toyota's.
We've had a few in the workshop, nothing majourly wrong with them, think we had a gearbox went on one.
Im back up Toyota College today for the week ill ask my Trainer, i think he had one. and if i remember when i get back ill let you know

Depends what your after really, a little pocket rocket or something bigger, faster with the potential to become even faster....
Celica being japanese you can get so many tuning parts and there easy to tinker with and if done right you could have yourself a right BHP Animal.

Yeah the GT4's are 4WD. Does he have proof its running 300bhp? dyno print out or something. Im not too sure what BHP they are standard TBH.

209bhp/tonne for the Celica
195bhp/tonne for the Ibiza
I'd go for the Celica, there's a lot more potential.

230 / 1109
*
1000
= 207 per ton
But im not too fussed about the power to be honest...
I want something thats quick ish
handles well and isnt going to break every other day..
and I like the celica.. only thing that sways me is the value and age difference
not sure how much id want on top

the GT4 ST205 is slow in standard form, due to a kerb weight of 1440 KG a heavy beast indeed, so that power to weight ratio of 209 bhp a ton for the celica is a mile off

just realised the 209 bhp/ton is for 300 bhp one, my mistake. As standard they are slow, but like most turbocharged toyota engines they tune up very well

They have a superb 4wd system.Dont think there would be much in it tho between a 230bhp ibiza and a 300bhp gt4.Except off the line.
