I had the Hyundai Coupe and Celica on Need for speed underground.
Prefered the Hyundai so much more but once i was old enough and could afford my own 'proper' car, reading lots of reviews, the Celica looked the better bet. Plus the styling really appealed to me.
Went for a black 140 first as insurance was a killer, loved the black and the power over my old Clio... But soon the idea of missing out on 'lift' got too overpowering.
Then a Storm Blue T-Sport became available, so I bought that and sold the 140.
Such a great, sexy, and quite economical car.... but it had to go as saving up for a house (which very nearly finalised on).
Currently driving a Yaris T-Sport which is good fun, but not as much fun or sexy as the Celica.
