Make sure you get the GTS 6speed. If not, try for the GT 5speed. Do not settle for an automatic.

What about the Corolla XRS? Same engine again, more practical than a Celica, less "chubby" than Matrix.

I'd go with the Corolla XRS over the Celica GT-S but the GT-S over the Matrix WRX.

I agree with all the guys. All three have their own distinct advantages. It depends on what you want. You cannot go wrong especially now that Toyota is not putting out any performance-oriented cars (except X Runner and Lexus IS). They all have the last fabulous G-series powertrain with 6 speed Toyota built.

The GTS outperforms the Corolla XRS and Matrix XRS in both handling and performance.
