I taught some guy how to drive stick, he paid me, cuz he learned on my lude. Well his parents bought him a 2002 celica gt-s (i convinced him to get a stick, 6 speed as opposed to 4speed sportshift) and he got it, came with TRD action package and ****. Anyway i had to drive it home from the dealer for him cuz he wasn't good yet, and his parents didn't trust him. I like the 6 speed, but goin from 2nd to 3rd isn't that good. The throw is shorter than the lude, and u dont have to press as far down on the clutch.. although the throw is short, no short throw can compare with the s2k =-) anyway. I liked the celica's bucket seats, but i hated the window, and with his bigass spoiler the rearward visibility was horrible. Oh and IMO, i hate how the celica looks. I think it's pretty fugly, i'd rather get an RSX type-S, although that's kinda fugly too. The RSX type-S would be the best deal out of the 3, prelude handle's the best though. And the VVTL-i isn't as loud as vtec (no i didn't hit vvtl-i in his car, he did it when he got home and i was riding shotgun..) and recently he's been complaining about the rev-limiter. Oh and those ugly orange taillights eww. =-P.

edit: the interior was pretty ugly and had less footwell (width) room than the lude. I'm pretty short so it doesn't matter but meh.. oh and i hate how the celica's front end is so short, i like how the lude's is long to accomodate the 2.2L =-P Maybe i'm a LITTLE biased, but i seriosuly think the celica and RSX are fugly, the celica looks like a cockroach.. the RSX is just too high..
