Mikey Jay Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Virtually identical on performance/handling etc as they use the same engine and chassis/suspension.Different appearance though and different interiors Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 as said not a lot of difference really, gt is slightly lighter not noticeable though and its just looks really, what do you prefer the look of is what it is down to Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turner929 Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 i no a mate with a gt turbo and he said it is more tunnable because of the ecu? is this the case? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 lol your mate is talking out of his arse Welcome to UKSCIts all down to what you prefer the look of really as the perform very similarly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turner929 Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Ok thanks very much thats all i need to no Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starbogt Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thats strange we ended up getting a gt turbo quadlight because the condition of the Glanza's around were below poor condition and the GT's were brill! There are very little difference's between the 2 but the Glanza packs better safety features and a little more weight nothing you'll notice on the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Imo the diff is that glanza has modern refinements and updated look (electric this n that, air bags) whereas the GT is old school basic interior not big on luxurys and tbh i think that and the fact the exterior is totally diff are both the main deciding factor of which to get.....they both have also inherited solid toyota old school reliablity so nothing to worry about on that front.

Mikey Jay Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Could always get a Paseo and put a Starlet Turbo engine in it Cheaper than buying a Starlet Turbo and will look better *stirs the fire**runs* Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mikey Jay Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 NevahMore seriously, and back on topic thoughAs said, what's best is down to personal taste and budget (as Glanza's cost more to buy and a fair bit more to insure than GT's) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

montanajr Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 what is the difference in the insurance are they not the same group??? Its just that a lot of insurance companies (for some reason) don't list the Glanza. So it makes it harder to find a good deal as the majority of companies will say they can't insure a Glanza (and if they do they will insure it as a facelift GT Turbo etc.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
