this is a great first car , its small and doesnt fit many people so its harder for a teenager to break the law. its reliable and easy to maintain. with only 105 hp stock it can be modified, however, it may be expensive because 1) its a toyota, and 2)its a front wheel drive so the transmission is in the front(the reason there is so much trunk space). even with over 120,000mi, it is reliable.

I have owned my 97 Celica GT for 15 years, had it up to 140 MPH, It shows its potential on windy mountain and canyon roads and performs like a jeep off-road, handles like a go cart and will not leave you stranded. Handles very well, very tight and the gear ration is nice, (standard transmission) I have tailgated an RX7 on the back roads with no difficulty, front wheel drive keeps it tight on corners while that guy was losing it. my only issues have been the radiator, A/C pump and the clutch master cylinder, mileage is now at 275k. still going strong. Oh and I hit a bear in this thing at 40 MPH, only broke a headlight bracket.

My daughter has been driving this vehicle for over 5 years and it has been the best vehicle I've ever owned. The performance has been excellent, the maintenance very low and the overall cost of driving exceptional. The styling of the 97 Celica is classic and even after 9 years the body and paint are in excellent condition. It runs like a jewel and I believe it will continue to give us great service well beyond 150,000 miles. A great car!

i bought this car with plans to turn it in to a pocket rocket, i suppose that is my only dissapointment. toyota marketted the celica as an economy car in america, using heads with smaller valves gives them the awesome gas millage they get. but for speed enthusiasts like myself, we have to spend twice as much as honda and acura owners to get the HP we desire. but i love the look and the suspention is great, especially with a set of TRD springs, and i have done a few performance mods that have probably put me up to the GT model's status, but untill i change the heads i'll never have the power i originally intended it to have.
