Recommended Posts

ok ive managed to get myself into a debate with two dudes on tgtt about the standard factory 0-60 times on a glanza

one guy seams to think that its 7.1 seconds which i find really hard to believe,

due to the glanzas weight and boost restriction in 1'st and 2nd

ive searched the net for aages over time to try and find some official guide with no such luck

heres a link, from the 2nd page on is where it starts to get debaitable

For the past years Toyota's smallest car in production, was demonstrating to all other motors' companies how a car should be! Simple, attractive, fast, reliable and all these in a compact hatchback design with a reasonable fuel consumption.

The Starlet has written in its CV many official Toyota participations to the world rally, along its "'bigger brother" Celica, with really competitive results.

I own a Toyota Starlet (EP91) Glanza V Turbo, made in June's 1999 (unfortunately last production). Since then it was replaced by Toyota with the same category Yaris (Vitz).

Unfortunately the GT Turbo versions of Starlet were never so popular in Europe, so the only way to get one was to buy an imported one from Japan.

The Glanza V hides under its hood a 1331cc DOHC, 4cyl, 4E-FTE engine, accompanied with CT9b turbo. This setup makes the 920Kg beauty output 133bhp, and accelerate from 0 to 100Km/h at the impressive time of 6.8 seconds. This pocket rocket is mechanically flawless like every Toyota.

Some features coming along with the Starlet â?? Glanzas V are electric windows, electric mirrors, ABS, climate control (optional), semi-bucket seats, 14" alloy wheels, dual mode turbo (0.65bar high/0.45bar low), the beautiful body kit which makes it scream that it is GT version, and much more.

I own my Glanza since the beginning of 2002, and so far I had not even the slightest problem. It has been my dream-car since 1999 and it still is.

Maybe its interiors are not that rich as many more modern cars of a higher class, but I'm sure that its gorgeous GT style, and performance will impress everybody.

lol like a private little bunch of saddos here! slating me lol oh dear, paul has just posted up some information stating that fact? you need more? before i bought my first glanza i researched for ages and found plenty of different sources saying about std times. all said the same sort of times. 6.9 7.0 or 7.1. never any more than that.

lol, you are the 1 who turned it into a slagging match the thread is there to be read. so where is your proof of it not being 7.1 or 7.0?? just because it mite be written there somewhere doesnt mean its not true. i have experienced it first hand, end of. you dont even have a glanza so is irrelevant to you anyway.
