TOYOTA CELICA BEATS THE COMPETITION

I have given this car 9s and 10s in the survey. The only design items I find poor are: 1. The location of the driver's seat belt. 2. The rear spoiler interferes with driver's ability see out the back window.

New Celica GTS w/ the Action Package. So far, very fun to drive. In just a few days I've had numerable compliments. I'm sure as it is a Toyota it will be little trouble. Fantastic value / fun per dollar. Eye- catching fun sports car with every option for about 25k. Cockpit position - everything is exactly where the driver needs it. The action package is very attractive and a great addition for the money. JBL sound system is very good. Handling and driving are very good, especially with the 16" wheels. As long as you aren't expecting Mustang GT/V8 acceleration...

Drives like a sports car and gets 35 mpg on the highway. No mechanical issues, except for normal items like brakes. All other parts of the car are original.

fun celica

Very fun car, at first I bought an 2000 Acura Integra Type-R but I didn't like it despite it's pure performance, I had bought my mom a 02 Celica GT-S Panasonic Edition and it felt so much better just to ride in that car and it had some good features. I do enjoy my 03 GT-S quite a bit, superb handling which is really important, unique look, great interior design and comfy fitting seats. It is an overpriced vehicle with lacking torque but in balance it has good resale value and reliability which is more important. A downside to this vehicle is the blind spots, I can no way see out of my left rear window..

What can I say? The very first Celica I saw, I wanted one. This car is fast, fun, and offers an incredible car for the money. I felt confident with the car because it is backed by Toyota reliability and good resale value, not only that, but the car itself handles excellently, takes turns like clockwork, has excellent brakes, and turns heads every time you step in it. What's not to like?!
