fun car to drive
this is my 3rd toyota, 1st a 79 supra, 2nd an 84 celica gts, now an 01 celica gt, i have 31k miles now & my 5sp man trans whines in 4th & 5th gears, my dealer tells me they will replace the trans before the powertrain runs out @ 60k, love the style of the car outsidde & in, except for the back seat cover & the center caps on the gt alloy wheels, view over the rear spoiler not great, i've had 3 interior dome light bulbs replaced, acceleration not great with AC on, even with 5sp,auto is worse, drove auto before bought 5sp.mat't of front seat cover not very durable.
Bang for the buck
On the first test drive, the tight, responsive suspension amazed the pants off me. Got my own (spectra blue mica), and told my buddy, "It let's you do s*** you really shouldn't be able to do," then yanked the wheel for a 90-degree left turn at about 40 mph. This car makes driving to work absolutely fun, and a trip to the mountains Nirvana. GT easily beats SUVs (and occasional Z-3 or Boxster) off the line & runs on cheap 87-octane gas. Very sexy car. Everyone compliments the color. A lot of car for the money; lucky I didn't get this when I was 16, or I might not be alive. I'm 30 now, but feel like 23 behind the wheel of my Celica.

The BEST
Well.. This is my first car, but I have driven many others. This one is the best. The steering is smooth, can be controled with a finger. Pick-up is fantastic. Spacious for 2. No machinical problems yet.
My Third Celica
The vehicle has been problematic. The tension belt was replaced at 23,000 miles-now at 38,000 miles it is again necessary to replace the tension belt. The brakes have clicked the entire time I've owned the vehicle, and the air conditioning has never functioned at a cold level. I purchased the vehicle new, and intend to sell shortly..
