Toyota Celica GTS

I would recommend buying the GT-S version. It has more pep and great to drive. The GT version is good for the slower driver in mind.

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).

I Love My Little CarCar!

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!

For as cheap as you can find these now, these are some of the most fun to drive, and reliable cars around today. Consumer Reports gave it the most reliable sporty car award this model year.

Bought it 6 yrs old with 40,000 miles, Toyota certified used. Has been totally reliable, and I get 35-37 mpg, driving mostly highway miles. I love the handling and steering - it feels very nimble, light and capable. The styling is unique and my Celica gets lots of looks and comments. Adequate power, firm but comfortable ride. Really everything you expect from a sports hatchback.
