Opinions please... carib/corolla BZ touring

Postby flygt4 » Fri Sep 03, 2004 8:04 pm

hmmm can i please get sum opinions of these cars from people who hav either driven and owned them or actually know bout them.had a browse thru search ,has only been touched on briefly.
the black top 20v ones , think they come with 6 spd box.
-how do they handle?
-being a wagon , are they particularly heavy , much more so than the levin/truenos?
-what are the options available lsd , 5/6 spd etc etc..most desirable ones??
-price range , from what i seen 10-13ish?...
-how do they go?wouldnt expect much for straight line speed but are they reasonable for 1600 na?

any helpful info much appreciated.

I own a BZT wgn. Unfortunatly it's not the six speed.
Six speeds came out in the faclift version.
All 20V one's are fwd not 4wd.
The use the same suspension stuff as the levins/trueno's.
Dont believe they would weigh much more either.
Some may have lsd.
One for sale down here, 130,000 kms, Six speed, white 15" mags.
Wanting $10,000.
