Gen 5 Or Gen 6

[meteor]

Been thinking of buying a celica was going to go for th gen 6 gt-4 then my mate said he was selling his gen 5 carlos sainz edition. Now im not sure what to go for!!!! Would like some opinions plz.

(plus been on gt4oc but cant get on to the general forum to ask)

[Gedrick]

Go for the gen 5 mate, best looking celica ever!!!!!.............................but then I'm biased!! :P

[ozzy666]

gen 5 m8,i've recently bought one and its bootiful!!! :D better shape than the gen 6 :!Removed!:

[littlewener]

I'd say gen 6. much better looking car by far :P

[celica dave]

gen6! more refined , more powerful, more room inside ,and that fantastic bonnet!

but the gen5 is still a fantastic car ,try both and make your mind up, just remember that the gen6 is newer so less chance of it going wrong or costly repairs / bodywork etc, the only thing to make sure of is that the suspension is ok and the figure of eights are sound or have been replaced as it costs roughly a grand to sort out. which ever model you choose will put a big grin on your face.

what dave said.

[daktari]

Anyone will tell you i`m as biassed as they come. But IMO if you could get a Gen5 CS with the Gen6 Mechanicals then that`d be my idea of heaven. Realistically though as previously mentioned the newer the car the less likelihood of having to spend too much too soon.

[sxb182]

gen 6, simple

not that im biased

[Tom.B]

Oooh that gen5 gt4 for sale....ill be right back heheheheheheeh

[martin_longbow]

Gen 5 Is v nice motor but the Gen 6 just has a little more I think (yes bias)

[andrewl41]

Gen 6. It's the thinking mans choice, assuming that money isn't an issue. It's an evolution of the 5 so any number of probelms are likely to have been resolved (though I don't actually know of any off the top of my head). As it's newer it should be more reliable on average. Also, it's more powerful.

But choice of celica comes as much from the heart as the head.

My personal opinion is that the 5 is starting to look a little too dated for my tastes.

You may prefer the looks of the 5 in which case Toyota reliability is such that you should not be put off by the age. Even older high millage examples still prove to be very reliable.

It's defo got to be the Gen.5, The Gen.6 is a georgous motor but its only faster on paper.

With a few student loans you can make that beauty whistle.

here, here. :P

[Cubic Incubi]

gen 5 carlos sainz all the way.

only reason to get a gen 6 is for ready to go extra ponies. nothing an uprated tubby and a FMIC with supporting fueling mods wont sort on a CS.

it's like asking scooby doo if he wants a scooby snack!

Hmmm - rally proven dominator or a renegade
