vineygt Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 bodywork on starlets/glanzas is generally spot on with very little rust due to living most of their lives in japan, your best bet is a gt rather than a glanza for insurance costs (think the quadlights look better than glanzas anyway but own personal preference) get rid of the french shed its worth your while, i went from a starlet to a tuned 106 gti, biggest mistake ever, no problems with the starlet in a year and a half, in 5 months of owning the pug it was on the road for 3 weeks! jap all the way Quote
butcher Posted May 18, 2008 Author Posted May 18, 2008 so what are they like as far as engines n turbos go? Quote
