Alfa Romeo GT 2007 vs Toyota Celica 2002
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.9 Diesel | 1.8 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Alfa Romeo GT) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Toyota Celica) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 150 HP | 143 HP | |
| Torque: | 305 NM | 170 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 9.6 seconds | 8.7 seconds | |
| Alfa Romeo GT engine produces 7 HP more power than Toyota Celica, whereas torque is 135 NM more than Toyota Celica. Despite the higher power, Alfa Romeo GT reaches 100 km/h speed 0.9 seconds later. | |||

Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 420'000 km | 280'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Alfa Romeo GT engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 7 years | 12 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including Alfa Romeo 147, Fiat Bravo | Installed on at least 4 other car models, including Toyota Avensis, Toyota Corolla, Toyota RAV4, Toyota Corolla Verso | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Toyota Celica might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The Alfa Romeo GT engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
| Toyota Celica 2002 1.8 engine: The 1ZZ-FE engine is more advanced, lighter, and simpler than its predecessor, emphasizing fuel efficiency and output. However, these improvements have come at the cost of reduced durability compared to earlier cast-iron engines. The engine block features an open-deck cooling design for easier production and lower ... More about Toyota Celica 2002 1.8 engine | |||
