MK2 vs. MK3

[Wade T]

I've only driven one mk3, an 89 I think, and I was not overly impressed.

You mean my 90T?

 

[Wade T]

I cant believe this is even a debate... MK3 all the freakin way.

Yeah, all the way behind - by bus lengths..:biglaugh:

The maroon car Wade... I like the car don't get me wrong. But is just SO different from the mk2, which I feel very at home at. I do feel like I was sitting up a lot higher (and I'm not comparing it to my lowered black '85, comparing it to stock height Coyote Ugly). And then I was trying to keep an eye on the gauges and didn't want to look to far away from the road, not really liking how the instrument panel spreads out over almost half the dashboard.

My 1st time driving a turbo car and I stayed out of boost like a good little girl


Oh and Willie, STFU. Go get a mk3 and then you can come back to this argument heheh <3

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Why would you stay out of boost?
That's where all the cool kids are.

The gauge cluster is all within an easy glance...

This argument sounds like me and my son. Me lovin MKII's and him MKIII's. I put a 7mgte in my car and now he's installing a t4 in his. The battle is on going.

I like them both.

His and mine

Pertaining to the original poster's questions, the MK2 is a far better choice for someone on a budget, compared to the Mk3 which in general has a much higher risk of costly problems, and more of them.

She has to seat real close to the wheel.

wait what? You drove an mk3 and stayed out of boost. Well of course you're not gonna like that experience, it's like driving a slow N/A!

lol here's how this thread looks like its going:

MK2 Owners will say: Go MK2.
MK3 Owners will say: Go Mk3.

The end

MK2 is a Celica anyway.

and your mk3 pig is built from the same chassis.

:umno:

Lots of differences between A6x and A7x chassis. Do your homework before making statements like that.

 

[gtsfirefighter]

I love and want both.

Dont really care. Still "A" chassis. Neither car is better. Get over it.

I love and want both.

This guy has the right idea.

 

[OneJoeZee]

This guy has the right idea.

I don't like MK2s much. Get over it.

So what you're saying is, the MKI and the MKIV are the same as well? Hmm. My whole perspective has changed.

If I had a chance to get a mk2 that was low on rust and high on potential I would pay $400 if not more right now. If all it needs is a clutch buy it. Then just save up and get a MK3 later when you find one in good to great condition. I want a MK1 as well but I have only seen one in my area and it was swiss cheese.:biglaugh:
