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 wife fell in love with her first one and she continues to like every new one that we buy. She likes the ability to park it almost anywhere-carry loads of all sizes and shapes and adjust the radio to a particular type of music. She especially likes the relliability. Never had a recall replaced the usual items tire- blades, etc. It has had regular maintaince, change oil 3000-4000 miles

Oh how the critics can be so shortsighted. Yes my 23 year old drop top 5 speed manual still runs like a champ with 172K on it. The styling is far superior to most cars now. Based on the offers I am getting the car is appreciating in value. It’s not a sports car, its a Corolla on a different body with a soft top with one of the most solid engines ever built. Even as a convertible it still big enough to be daily driver with backseats and a real trunk. It turns heads with the top down in 2021 because it styled right. Best part is you can get them for under $4K and insurance is dirt cheap and parts are cheap and available but it so reliable you may not need them. It’s one of the best value used cars in the world. They cost more back in the day because they were built better.
