Fto Gr Vs My Ss2

[chris202]

Don't mean to bump this old thread but some of you are wandering what happened????

Well here's what happened.

In less then a week of buying the FTO my friend tried to change his spark. In doing so the car developed lots of faults. Back firing, juddering, power loss and then eventually DEATH!

The FTO was than towed back to his place and hasn't been on the road since.

So in the end I never did get to organise a drag. Let alone see it go!

But at least I now that i didn't make a mistake and bought a FTO.

crismillencolin your first comment was rock on!

Dude it was inevitable .

FTO's have a habit of doing it

Wife has an FTO GPX (197bhp), and I used to own a gen6 Celica (1.8 SR) and a gen7 Celica (140bhp).

Handling:

The FTO handles way better than the gen6 Celica (the SR had the same width tyres as the GT), although the gen7 is marginally better.

Build quality:

The Toyotas win there.

Practicality:

Celica wins, folding rear seats, hatch back.

Overall:

Both cars have some areas better than the other.

FTO GR is 170ps (165bhp?), GX is 180ps, GPX is 200ps.
