Thumbs up
one's FF, the other FR. it all depends on what you plan to do. the miata handles like its on rails, and the celica has the potential to make slightly more power. but we also need to know what years youre looking for. get a 1.8l 2nd gen miata and boost it, or find a GT4 celica. i would love a gt4, not for the fact that its AWD and turbo from the fatory, but its super rare.

A friend of mine had a Miata and a WRX. The WRX is gone, and he's owned (meaning bought and maybe sold) about 1/4 of the miatas produced within a 3 year span...

Miatas cease being chick cars the moment a roll cage is welded in.

Agree on the all-trac celica, if you cant find one i would deff. go with the miata. From all i have seen, the celica is only better to make a little more power with

Miata all the way, I would never even consider a celica though...

If you have the means, check out the mazdaspeed miata.
