Rx 8 Or Celica

[tougemax]

Hi , i wanna buy a manual sport car for weekend use . I am confuse to choose whether Rx8 or Toyota Celica.
i prefer rx8 much , but compare to maintanance . i always heard that rx8 got plenty of problem .
and celica is very easy to maintain . OF course if i buy rx8 i will buy the cheapest 2002 years car .10 years rotary engine . i always go long distance place . IS it many problem ? Hopefully some Sifu here get give me a clear comment .

prefer to go for RX8 manual 6speed version.
every car has alot of problem, its just how u maintain it.

rx8 main problem EPS, hard to start(coz owes flooding), VDi,SSV,Secondary Air Injection and VFAD.

Celica NA not bad, depends wat car u wanna test with. or else dump in aftermarket supercharger kit, its fast enuf

my opinion..

looks - RX8

money wise - Celica

 

[peeche]

dont forget about Apex Seals issue on those rotary engine. but RX8 is damn hot car.

Rx8 hands down. Celica can be barely called a sports car.. I assume you referring the last model FF with a NA lump. It's a hairdresser's car at best.

comparing celica with hyundai coupe,perhaps? i used to ride in my friend celica, previously featured on hypertune with lambo doors. manual with mild tune, not that bad actually.

for rx8,i've only c them take off, great rev but i think the FC must be high. i for 1 celica

if maintenance is ur concern, go for Celica. Comfort, Nice, Chick magnet. Mechanic bawah pokok also can fix ur car.
The most important thing is - Toyota ma....

RX8, rotary engine...must go to specialist.

Celica, if you planned for 10yrs car and good maintainance cost.
Power not problem one, can tuned up.

FOr me, if money is a factor, I go for celica la... Maintenance very okay ma... If money not a problem, sure RX8 lo... It snaothe class altogether. Power so much higher. And the revs omg... It spins like a washing machine. And I'm also curious to get a feel or rotary engine. Just that the downside is on maintenance and fuel costs la...

if got money la
