What turbo'ed car?

toyotacelicagt4 · 19 Oct 2009 at 18:36

Evening all,

Earlier this year I sold my celica gt4 and bought a vectra sri estate as we were soon expecting our first child. I sold the celica as we couldn't make do with a 3 door but the problem is that the vectra is only a 1.8 and lacks power. I've now decided that i'll get another turbo charged but its gotta meet the following points.

so what do you guys recomend?

gotta cost £6-7k
must have 4 doors
as reliable as possible

thats about it.

cheers

Why does it have to be a turbo?

This shouts ST220 to be honest!

Octavia VRS 1.8T or Leon Cupra if they fall within budget.

Leon Cupra R?

Considering he used to have a modified gt4 then perhaps he just wants to feel that turbo kick again.

And for my thoughts, perhaps a legnum vr4 or Nissan stagea.

Impreza sounds like your best bet.

If it must be AWD then Subaru. For something with more of a wild side how about a JZX100 Toyota Chaser Tourer-V, looks great IMO, bigger than an Impreza, 1JZ motor packs a punch and sounds phenominal.

2JZ-GTE Aristo.

Maybe a bit old.. but its toyota so reliable and has a supra engine :-D

If you want something similar to your Celica, spend ~£3-4k on a Mitsubishi Legnum/Galant VR4 (depending if you want an estate or saloon), then keep the extra £3-4k for the fuel it'll need

Nice example.

Saab 9-5 Aero.

With your budget you should get a 2005 car with every extra possible on it.
