Sold my Catera (Read 1610 times)

Oh Newbie Offline Posts: 46 Drives: Catera	Sold my Catera 09. Aug 2011 at 18:08 So I sold my Catera about a little over a week ago and went on the market to find a new vehicle. I ended up scooping this bad boy.

OMG the neons and humungous wing! Cheesy

LOL nah. I like it the way it looks, if I change anything it'll be the headlights for some sonar hid with black interior but other than that no wing, no neons. Maybe a different set of wheels.

I'm not sure we actually got them? Could be wrong but I thought they were US & Japanese market only..

[edit] Just checked - actually it's only available in LHD, no RHD countries at all..

The RHD 'equivalent' is, I guess, the FTO - much better looking car, IMHO Wink

Aug 2011 at 10:09 I have actualy driven one of them. In the UK they are a US import and consequently they are not very popular. Biggest issue I found was the horrendous handling, way to soft and dead feeling for europeon drivers.

It looks a little similar but it's a far cry from one really - it's wrong wheel drive for a start Wink

came with a relatively asthmatic V6 engine and with an optional flappy-paddle gearbox if memory serves.. a fun car, but a long way from the big GT Supra

Shiny wheels btw - obviously well looked after if they cleaned up well.

..and it went 'dugga dugga dugga dugga'..
