I have had this car since it was brand new and it now has almost 150,000 miles. The only things I have had to replace besides the scheduled maintenance is the mass air flow and the catalytic converter. It still has the original brakes and battery! It is nice to have such a reliable car.

I am so in love with my Celica. I bought it new in 2002. I've put on so many miles! I drive a ridiculous amount and this car has never let me down - including the time I drove it home 85 MILES after being rear-ended - the exhaust pipe was COMPLETELY bent in on itself and the car made it home like a trooper! This car corners like it's on rails and has the most awesome breaks ever. It stops on a dime and gives you 9 cents back! It is a sporty car so you definitely feel every bump on the road, but let me tell you, this car makes you ONE with the road! This car is so responsive! I love it!

This car is awesome, I'm 19 and this is my second car, I used to have a Honda civic. I got in it at the dealership and knew I was driving away in it. It's not really fast, but with the action package that Toyota introduced in 2002, it looks fast and with gas prices now a days, going fast is irrelevant =) The interior is very spacious, well the front seats are. I wouldn't recommend taking more than one person at a time. There is so much more i could type about this car, I love driving it, it turns soooo many heads... I love it!

I bought my Celica in March 2000 and I have enjoyed it every day since. Despite a few minor flaws (plastic interior molding near seats scratches easily and the powerband is too high), this is an incredible car. The sound of the engine (especially after adding a Rod Millen air intake) is by far my favorite feature. The layout of the inside was very well done. Having all of the controls in reach while still keeping your hands on the wheel and stick is very helpful. I definitely plan on keeping this car for a long time.

I like this car, because of its handling and usability. Yeah, it's not a true sport car (no RWD or even LSD), but it is relatively fast, very fun in twisty mountain roads, and autoX. It has good MPG and a lot of space in the trunk, too. So, I'd recommend this car to anyone who wants good performance and usability (not for family though).
