Nice choice! yes the 4ws is very good. excellent handling on the twisty bits at speed, no understeer no oversteer, corners like it's on rails. brilliant in carparks and low speed hairpins. find a mini roundabout and enjoy the tight turning circle, it knocks something like 15 feet off the turning circle. the cabrio is a beautiful car not too much scuttle shake or rattles, roof is a gift too use. i've never driven anything that gets more looks from the laydeeesss and i'm an ugly bastid.

u lucky bastard..top drawer poseability!!!!!! Dont forget when driving to keep the revs above 4500 thats when the Celica shows its true colours, you will find a nice kick at 4500 when the acis comes on, once u experiance that you will fall in love with it..celicas were made to be thrashed!!!

acis or flaps as we call it opens butterflys on 4 of your 8 intake uhhh pipes. at low revs only 4 are open to maximise air velocity and once the rpm's get up the acis opens the other 4 flaps and lets the engine breathe through all 8. you should get a kick at 4.5 to 5k rpm but your car is probably an automatic so you might not notice it as much.

stick your head under the bonnet and rev it past 5000 and you should see the actuator moving.
