Has anyone owned/owns an st205 model GT4? Ive read quite alot of stuff on them online, but how good are they? It would be the best alternative to an evo/impreza without paying silly money for insurance.

A friend owned one for about 6 months. A Black UK spec car. It was a bit of a beast. I think they look awesome, although they do look a bit dated from the rear. They're a scary sight in your rear view mirror! I didn't get the opportunity to drive it but it seemed very quick and relatively nimble for whats a fair sized car. There are a few issues with them though, mainly the suspension, which uses strange shock absorbers which can be very costly to replace. I think the insurance was quite reasonable though, round about £700 with max NCD for a 25 year old.

They do look awesome dont they! I like it from the rear especially with the wrc spoiler blocks. Id prefer a uk car although quite rare, most of the are jap imports, the jap wrc spec is the best at 255bhp but because its an import its much more.

Im 26 now with 1 ncb and its only around £900 a year which is about £50 more than my ignis sport and thats only group 9. While an impreza wrx same as the celica, slower than the celica is £3500 a year. Crazy.

Arent they quite heavy on juice though? I herd they were thirsty beasts

Better than an Impreza or a Evo... worse than a Furby vRS lol.

To be honest if you are going Toyota turbo route go Rev 3 MR2 turbo. The GT4 is dull in comparison, but if you need extra seats then obviously the Celica it is
