ostego Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Was just wondering who else has had these in the past. Have met and spoke with 4 other zed owners so far, and 2 of them used to have hyundai coupes, and one had a celica. I myself started off driving in a hyundai coupe as well. I guess for zed owners the celica or coupe are sort of like a "gateway drug" in a sense, as they follow the same sort of look. Anyone else owned either of these cars before upgrading to a zed? 1 Quote
SHEZZA Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) For me it started with a mark 2 MR2 then a Celica GT then a RX8 , Before the ZED. Edited May 2, 2014 by SHEZZA Quote

ostego Posted May 2, 2014 Author Posted May 2, 2014 Well this has been enlightening! Was suspecting a few people would have but didn't realize it really was as endemic as i originally thought! Will have a greater level of respect for coupe/celica/MR2 owners in the future knowing that one day they may well be fledgling zed owners some day soon! Quote
cs2000 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 I also has a gen 7 celica before the zed, did consider a Hyundai coupe genII however. Quote
