altima coupe to a celica

**iR0CKcelicas** · 03-05-2010, 12:02 AM

i currently have an altima coupe (not by choice) and wanna trade it in asap for a celica. just wanna know , in your opinion
which model/yr is the best
and if GT or GT-S is better/more fun to drive (city driving btw).
i have two cars in mind both semi in a deal to buy just cant make up my mind.

btw, does GT-S come in cloth interior, cuz kinda like the cloth better?

any help?

well it all depends on witch generation your looking at getting. if your looking at a 7th gen, get a gts, if you want a 6th gen get a gt4, if you want a 5th gen get a alltrac.

in agreeance with sub on models choices, as for the 7th gen gts, yes, it does come with cloth seats.

In reference to the 7th GEN GT vs GTS:
The GT comes with a 1.8 LTR Variable Valve Timing intelligence (VVTI) engine rated @ 140 HP (adjusts the valve timing for optimum performance).
The GTS comes with a 1.8 LTR Variable Valve Timing and LIFT intelligence (VVTLI) engine rated @ 180 HP (adjusts the valve timing and valve lift for optimum performance).
The VVTLI engine rated @ 180 HP seems to be a bit more finicky with some issues with the LIFT part of the VVTLI. Repairs for the valve LIFT system doesn't seem too difficult but I really don't know for sure as my engine is the VVTI @ 140 HP so I have no experience in the area. What I can tell you is I love my Celica. It's really a well built car and even @140 HP it's really a blast to drive. The handling is one of the best out there in my opinion. If the car isn't beat to snot I am confident you will love it. Hope this helps!

Mook

P.S. Don't plan on using the back seat for much,, it's pretty cramped back there but then again just about all sports cars have a cramped back seat & some no back seat at all.

**akley88** · 03-08-2010, 03:09 PM

how big of a dog do u have

**dirtking** · 03-08-2010, 09:43 PM

He is part Bernese Mountain Dog and part Springer Spaniel. He weighs about 65 pounds and for a dog I originally didn't want he has become my best buddy. He really doesn't do anything wrong. He loves life and wouldn't ever dissapoint you. I hope the pic shows below. Anyway he is my back seat driver!

**dirtking** · 03-08-2010, 09:47 PM

WOW,, the pic is so big,, how can I reduce it's size?

**akley88** · 03-08-2010, 09:54 PM

Well give us a pic. I'd love to see him/her.

**jons02gts** · 03-10-2010, 08:44 AM

thats a pretty puppy dirtking. I just have mine ride in the passenger seat.

**dirtking** · 03-10-2010, 10:48 AM

Cool,, I guess that makes the front pass seat the most important one huh? My dog "Gunther" wants to drive too so he's been buggin me to built some peddle extensions so his paws can reach as you can see by my Avater Pic. LMAO.

**jons02gts** · 03-11-2010, 08:41 AM

yeah, I guess you could say it does. when I have her in my celi, I drive like an over protective parent with their toddler, I WILL NOT exceed the speed limit with her in there.
