Glanza-Love Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 If your willing to pay premiums... V is good. Insurance will always be a pain...Starlet gt's are cheap to buy & cheap to insure.. nice cars.. light and cheeky to potter about in.Glanza's are tubby more modern look to them, updated interiors, extra fin on the turbo. pretty much the same car.. its more preference and money.. that deter owner ships Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 There's not that many differences between the V and GT really, exterior & interior styling is different. The Rods on some GTs are thicker if I remember correctly and the GTs are a few dozen kilos lighter (860kg vs 920kg or something?)Good luck with your search and keep us updated! :harhar: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Love Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Thats something ive never heard of? thicker rods? do you not mean the pistons are different size's like 74mm and something.never in my life heard of rods being different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Glanza's have thinner rods and possibly some really late GT's I believe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
asifatyard21 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 GT's are lighter yes have the same engine gearbox etc... and in my opinion look better especially Toms kitted GT, Funnily enough i have one for sale, lol heres link if your interested:http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....showtopic=29397 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michel_M Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Let us deploy the ultimate weapon :harhar: : But seriously it's more just which one you prefer. I've always liked the more modern look and feel of a Glanza, but the GT is cheaper and lighter (but also slower ). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan5793 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 the GT advance is rarer, if you can get hold of one great but if not its no worry tbh lol. all that sets them apart is the two-tone paint, momo steering wheel and gear knob. cant remember if there is anything else lol.
