Reliable, fun to drive car
I never had any problem with this car, but I take care of it regularly, 3K oil change, 15K, 30K, 45K, 60K maintenance, I changed timing belt around 72K. I never spent a penny repair this car actually.
My Celica
My Celica is the best vehicle I have ever owned. It holds to the road and is very fun to drive. I have had no problems with this car. I still get complements on it everytime I go out. They are great to "fix up" with aftermarket parts, and they will run forever!
Owner Of Car Six Years!
I bought this car used from a dealership at 40k mileage. I have never really had any problems with this car. Only problem I have is it is super slow. Other than that the car is wonderful to have. Great for a young teen who doesn't have a lot of money to spend on a new car.
unwavering relaibility
This car has lived a tough life and yet continues to perform flawlessly. Though I perform meticulous maintenance and I am fanatical about keeping proper records, it has been driven hard. Though the years it has never given me a single problem outside of normal wear items. Even most of those are still untouched: for instance brakes, wiper blades, dome and tail lights are all original.
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.
