What Car?

[startolet]

Hello all new to the world of starlets... infact I never owned a toyota!!!

I have just sold an evo 4 gsr that was highly modded due to financial difficulties to pay of particualt debts etc... anyway I need another car cheap to run around in now and these starlets have caught my eye been looking at sportifs and SR's. Since I have owned a turbo'ed car what are the Glanza's like then?? its tempting, I was paying £715 premium on my evo and thats with an accident claim 5 year+ ncb, what IG are the glanza's and I gather mpg looking at average of 38mpg with a steady right foot, are they cheap road tax being only 1.3? I am 31 years old so insurance shouldn't be bad + I owned my evo 4 for nearly 3 years

anyone willing a test drive??

glanza is a very cheap car to run, cheap tax same as the n/a, very cheap fuel costs if mapped propperly could easilly get 40mpg and super reliable if looked after properly, and parts are cheap aswell an all round winner in my eyes shouldnt of got rid of mine

Insurance will be rather cheap for you on a glanza mate, The tax is 120ish a 12 months and the mpg is very impressive once you take into account the power + bhp potentiol of these things. IIRC, there's plenty of folk on here pushing 180/200bhp for well under 1000 notes. =]

If i was in your shoes, i would go for the glanza over the sr/sportif. nothing against them at all just the only expensive thing on a glanza is the insurance and if you were running/insuring a evo 4, then a glanza will cost you nothing in comparison. The glanza is going to be cheap enough without having to go 1.3 non turbbbbb.

I want commission from whoever you buy a glanza from now. =] paha welcome to the club.

Cheers for replys guys. Are the glanza's 130bhp as standard then? whats the standard boost they run? I don't even intend on modding it just keep it standard but just like to know. What sort of price am I looking at for a glanza don't want to pay a fortune as I need to pay debts of as well

SPAMMMER! ;p

Can pick up a glanza for 2-3k these days, you'll struggle to find a standard glanza for anything less than 3k though. not many of them around so well sought after!

why not get a gt? same as a glanza but look different, in my opinion i think they look better, plus they are cheaper

cheers mate yeh the mk2 gt's do look cool are the engines any different? are they worse on fuel since they are abit older than the glanza's?

[paulgtt]

Same engine in both mate, I would go for a GT, Glanza's are too common nowadays

[nutnut]

The glanza are a more modern look.

I have the glanza but also like the GT.

Its all down to your taste.

If i had the money i would of liked the KP70
