looking for a daily with a hatch in the $5-6k ball park for the GF.
These two just are full on WIN for her. Loves the looks and function of everything. Both have similiar power and easy to care for. Parts should be everywhere. Drove both and we are at a standstill. So now its time to get all technical.
BOTH will be AUTO, i really wanted the GTS or Type S but no go. Ball park of 125k. FWD small hatches with 150hp or so. Can get her 30mpg on the highway if babied.
1zz VS K20 motor. Experiences with these motors? I know the K20 in the type S is one of the better ones. The Base RSX i dont know too much on.
Both are chain driven, offer sometype of VVT/ivtec. Should be solid motors and trans setups. I'm trying to find weak points, I really dont like plastic manifolds. 1zz in the celica has plastic manifolds and some cases of blowing a headgasket. So i know that K20A3 has a better odds when rolling the dice. This is assuming all things equal in terms of care and maintenance.
Both would be an overall stock car with maybe a in dash GPS, lowering springs and wheels. I dont want to put any extra money into it.
