Road testing the Toyota 1600GT
We tested two Toyota 1600GTs for a total of about 800km, both the GT4 model with the standard 4-speed gearbox, and the GT5 with the optional 5-speed gearbox. The GT5 was a very early production model, while the GT4 was a more recent production model, so there were differences in other details besides the gearbox. We will discuss this later, but our conclusion is that both cars have their pros and cons, but as far as the gearbox is concerned, the GT4 is more suitable for general use in mainly urban areas, while driving enthusiasts should choose the GT5 even if it means some inconvenience.
