The style is best I've seen for less than $100K -- I currently have $175,000 miles on mine and have just started some minor maintenance repairs. Well worth every penny!

The best car of the past 10 years

I have not found a vehicle more amazing or more reliable as a Toyota. The 94-99 Celica is the best portrayal of a wonderful design and terrific automobile. I have never enjoyed a drive or a feeling of being behind the wheel of such a great gift from God as this car. In one word, awesome.

Great except for top with age

This was a very reliable, beautiful, and fun car for the 15 years I owned it. It did develop a slow oil leak, but otherwise was problem free. Except for the convertible top. Over time the Velcro stopped gripping inside, a metal strut snapped, making it very hard to put the top down or back up. The black canvas top looked awful after 10 years, as it got gummy and dirty. It had been replaced at 5 years. The back window finally fell out, and that was the last straw. Aside from the miserable top, and the loud noise inside on the freeway, it was a great car!

A little dent, a little ding, but she's almost perfect. Wide body put on Feb. Of 1995 by TRD specialist in California. Just put a New top and I love it up or down. 5speed drives like a race car. If im ever sad, I jump behind the wheel and within minutes ill have the biggest smile on my face.

My daughter's car, but I get to maintain it and pay for repairs (we split costs) and drive it some. Not a really fast car, but holds the road really well and starts and runs really well. Mostly it is fun to drive and it gets about 35 mpg doing it.
