Default Toyota Celica GT4..... Any good?

Just curious as I had a Celica GT (not the GT4 version) in work today...

Had to go pick it up, and thought it wasn't a bad drive to be fair.. Seemed very smooth, and not overly bumpy or noisy - quite easy to drive... Was only the 2litre n/a version (FWD) and being in traffic I didn't get to "test" it for acceleration or handling, but it seemed comfortable enough...

I just really liked the ergonomics of it. Inside, whilst bland and typically Japanese as far as large expanses of plastic, it was nicely laid out, and the gear change was lovely - almost to the point of notchy, but such a short throw and it snicked into each gear perfectly....

So, just curious, if the 4WD, 2litre turbo GT4 is any good, as far as hot hatches go... Whats the tuning scope on these things (242bhp as standard), etc...

Mate had a Carlos Saints GT4, was not that fast and.....well slow in comparative terms. Tuning capabilities, a lot more
