What are the differences with the BZ models T, G etc TRG? What are the options for them what is the best one to get. Is there much difference between corolla and carib? Any year or model better or worse than another?

Thanks

BZ-T's are wagons, BZ-G/Rs are coupes. Caribs have different rear windows/lights/b pillar backwards to Corollas.

That is just a car dealer who is confused as to what the car actually is.

Hell it says "Transmission Details: 5 Speed Manual" and then on the next line it says "6 SPEED".

Its 6 speed manual 4age. Carib BZ Touring (BZ-T).

By BZ-TRG, I think the dealer meant BZ-Touring.

For what it's worth caribs are quite a bit smaller than the corollas. If that matters.

in what way?
they are on the same platform etc.

From my comparisons when I owned a 96 bz-t corolla and a 98 bz carib at the same time.

Boot width, length and height are smaller in carib. Ceiling hight is lower in carib. Cabin width is narrower in carib. Less rear leg room in carib.

ok ones an ae101 and the other a 111
but they have the same track and wheel base.
bloody weird if they are that different.
how much different are we talking? its prob just the different trims and seats.

i think i'll have a closer look!

by **TrouserFxGt** » Sun Oct 14, 2007 9:45 pm

Most of the difference is in the more 'shapely' 101 body. Very evident when you look in the boot.

Any faults that I should look for?

by **Mr Revhead** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 12:49 pm

not really

just usual things like correct maintanence has been done etc

by **mycoolcar** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 1:17 pm

And the typical blacktop things like big end bearings.
