startolet Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 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?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jae-Glanza Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 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.

startolet Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 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 lee.

Jae-Glanza Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 SPAMMMER! ;pCan 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
