The GTI-6 is an awesome car. I've owned it since 1999 and have loved every minute i've driven it.
The Monty is also great but in a different 'go anywhere' kind of way. Not had it long though.

[kevster]

sweet stu , is it a turbo ??? my mrs really likes those

[Jack]

even more then runing a xe nova??
LMFAO yes, considerably more. Bear in mind I'm building an XE saloon as a CHEAPER car to run about in. Does that give you an implication of how much they cost? lol

Thats one thing I didn't really take heed of when I bought one. Its a fantastic car if looked after and great to drive, and prices at the moment are great for them - but you have to spend a lot of money keeping it maintained. What you save in purchasing, you pay for in insurance and maintenance, oh and fuel lol

Mine only has 3 gears at the moment, and for the cost of repairs I could afford to buy, insure, tax, MOT and run an XE Nova.

[kevster]

omg thats that off my list !!
i have been looking at cozzys this week what you think of thos ??

[Stuart]

sweet stu , is it a turbo ??? my mrs really likes those

lol, after "what is it?" that has to be the msot asked question i get.

no, its the BETTER N/A ;) not as fast in a straight line, but dosent hoon its **** out in the wet/dry unnessecaraly, dosent have a lardy **** turbo in the back and dosent drink fuel like its going out of fashion lol

[Jack]

omg thats that off my list !!
i have been looking at cozzys this week what you think of thos ??
Just as expensive lol Escort or Sierra?

TG had a road test (back in the days when it was a serious motoring program) and Clarkson picked the Escrote cosworth over the ST205 - but only because he couldn't fit into the Celica, plus it was a few ?k more to buy at the time, as new. The Celica IMO is a better car (awaits flaming by the fr0d fanatics) - it was faster and handled better, its nicer to look at, and is now considerably cheaper to buy than a Cosworth. Plus, if you're tall like Clarkson, just get the one without the sunroof... If you can afford either, get the Celica.

[dave.gsi]

call me a badge snob but id rather have 'cosworth' written on my boot than 'celica'

dont get me wrong that looks like a really nice car and id love to own one......but.....in the same league as a cossie? i doubt it

[burgo]

i dont have a daily runner as i get a lift to work with me mum and the saloon isnt legal yet lol

[Kickingriffin]

My Nova is my everyday car....

Badge Snob!
and I think that you will find that the ST205 IS in the same league.

[dave.gsi]

lol

lets be honest........its not

[Winty]

Everyday Car is my Nova cnt beat it lol

[raymond]

nova is my everyday car also would like a second car but cant afford to maintain 2 of them

[Jack]

lmfao, thats the exact reason why you pay massive fee for a Cosworth, and Celicas are cheaper. The Cosworth badge has a lot more "status" about it than a GT-4 badge.

On paper the Celica IS in the same league. Both are homolgation cars, and stats-wise they're near enough the same:

1992 Escrote Cosworth:
1993cc
227bhp
224lbft torque
0-60 in 6.2 seconds
Top Speed 137mph
Insurance group 20U

1994 Celica ST205:
1998cc
239bhp (on UK fuel, 255 on jap stuff)
224lbft torque
0-60 in 6.3 seconds
Top Speed 152mph
Insurance group 17A

As for how they compare on the road I wouldn't know as I've never driven a Cosworth, but I can definitely vouch for the Celica's ability.

Ash, yeah thats the one lol

[Mike]

As for how they compare on the road I wouldn't know as I've never driven a Cosworth, but I can definitely vouch for the Celica's ability.

ive driven both, well an ST185 GT4 and Es'cos. Tbh the Es'cos WILL corner at a much higher speed then a GT4, but i think thats ue to its 28mm ARB's :eek:

If I had the money for either, id settle for the Toyota. The reason, there cheaper to repair then a Cosworth and A LOT easier to get parts for. Cossies of any shape require quite a bit of TLC to keep mint, and if there not mint then they loose money quicker then a casino with the Oceans 11 guys in there!

Anyway, my daily driver. Presenting..... The 52bhp Turdbo :thumb:

I've just sold the astra and bought this beast, x reg vw caddy van from work, i got it dirt cheap so couldn't turn it down.

At the minute mine is a corsa sport but i am about to replace it with a CTR once i find the right one.

[matthew172]

my daily driver is a 306 d turbo, i like it and its cheap to run

[Alex.]

lol

lets be honest........its not

Well I know which ones looks better.

[Nick J]

Mines a mk3 1.4 astra, boring as hell but cheap! means I can spend more cash on the nova! lol

[dave.gsi]

Well I know which ones looks better.

so do i. an escort cosworth is miles better looking, more tuning potential, rarer, hold its value better,blah blah blah

plus its one of the them cars that kids have posters of on their walls next to ferraris and lambos. not many toyotas you can say that about:wtf:

its place in history is allready written, the st205 however isnt

[coochiSR]

^^^ Bo Ho Ho ^^^ I'd rather have a ST205. Much nicer cars, and tuning potential, lol, ITS JAP! The list is probably endless IF you can afford it.

Btw my daily drive is the beast itself, cba to post a pic, you all know what it looks like!

[Ian]

dave has a point, the escort cosworth has proven itself.

[draper]

i think if i could have either id also go for the escort, i like the celica but its not an escort cossie

[Alex.]

To be fair the ST205 is Jap like Coochi said. They never break! lol

[Saloony]

If i had the choice between the Cossie and the Toyota i would choose a Monaro.

I've seen more cosworths about than I have GT4s (yes, genuine ones!) :p Plus tuning potential? There's a mahoosive range of parts available from Japland. You're also saying its better because kids like it? Ace lol

Mike, the 185 is crap compared to the 205 - heavier, less powerful, and doesn't have the SSS.

Anywoo, I prefer Celicas to be considered the underdog, makes it more satisfying owning one lol

Ok, thats me done :D

Thats like the old Sunny Pulsar, its the underdog, in the fact that its dog ugly.

Sorry but that made me laugh out loud!!!!
"Yeah dad, when I grow up I wanna own a Ferrari!"
"Yeah dad, when I grow up I wanna own a Cosworth!"

Spot the odd one out!lol

[dave.gsi]

I've seen more cosworths about than I have GT4s (yes, genuine ones!)

really?

i havent seen an escort cosworth out on the road for at least 5 years. theres a gt4 down the road from me.

point is cosworths tend not to be driven anymore because there so rare/valuable/desirable.

and as said there allready in the history books what with years of successful rallying under there belt, tbh id never even heard off the st205 (sounds like a mondeo lol) untill you started waffling about it. i thought it was just you get celicas and you get the gt4 versions. go to any rally nowadays and i can garuntee there will be a number of es cosworths there,i think you'll be lucky to find a couple of celica st205's...

Bloody ell, get out a bit more, its still a ****ty 80's hatchback with a nice engine and stupid sized whale tail...

Can you tell i don't like Fords?

I personally think 3 door cossies are FUGLY

[Saloony]

The original cossie was my dream car, right up until the point of me driving 2 or three. The only ford ill ever own will be a transit.

[Ash]

i do hate fords, with a passion, but i always thought of them to be drivers cars. For example the driving position, everything seems to be in the centre, not a steering wheel off to the left or pedals to the right. Can't beat a tranny vansit tho.

This only does about 20 to the gallon, so the Nova is still on the menu most of the time. Also, the dash instuments don't light up, so no night driving until I fix that!

[womble sri]

yeah i have always used a nova for my everyday car even when i had my t40 sr! i use company cars once i am at work which are..... fords which is ghey. saw the new mondeos on 5th gear the other nite and they looked... ok ish
