RSX Premium VS Celica GT

[oamisnwa]

Hi guys, could you people give me some suggestions on the new car I will be buying?

1) Is it better, in terms of price, quality, to get a GT with factory made TRD package or should I get the aftermarket TRD parts? (With factory stuff, it's got full skirt package, wings, two color racing seats, steering wheel, and Panasonic sound system, all for $2500)

2) What's a better buy if Celica GT TRD and RSX Premium only have very little price differential? RSX have an okay exterior looks but really cool interior, and Celica GT got really stylish exterior while the interior is a little bit weaker. I know this is a Celica website but try not to be biased!

3) What's with the new 2003 Celica's front air dams, do you guys think it's more stylish than 2002's larger front air dams or less stylish?

Thanks for your opinions guys!!

I can only answer Question #2.

I would say the Celica GT TRD. I am not biased, cause I don't own any car, but I plan to own a Matrix soon. Anyways, I just like sticking to Toyotas. All Toyotas I've seen hardly breakdown and have good quality....that's just my opinion.

1. The trd package from the factory, in my opinion, is better quality than aftermarket.
2. It all depends on what's more important to you. If it's interior go with the rsx, if exterior definetly go for the celica. It also depends on what you want in terms of handling from the car and whether your looking at a 5 speed or an automatic.
3. I like the previous fron air dams but, I have an 02 so I'm a little biased.
Hope this helps.

Aftermarket TRD parts and factory TRD parts are exactly the same. If you go out and buy a TRD side skirt after you buy the car, it would be 100% identical in quality to the TRD side skirt that you get on the car from the factory.

I personally hate the new front on the Celica's, I think that it really ruins the way that the car looks. Just my opinion...

Not really, if you want to count companies such as R-1 racing or apc, then yes. But I think as of right now there are many little companies that make really good products for our cars.

hmm I think the celica interior looks nicer than the rsx...I still prefer my action package vs the rsx premium.......i had to make that choice back then.....and i`m very happy with the celica....cant go wrong...+ if u`ll want to mod ur rsx...if u wanna be different its gonna be alot harder since all those ricer have honda :)

RSX.

WRX more aftermarket than both put together. 4drs equals being able to easily take friends with you and turbo = More fun :D And final price will be about the same amount as a Celica GT or the RSX
