    Great little car. 40,000 miles and not a problem at all. Excellent car for going to and from work in style.

    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.

    The Celica GT is a great little car! Especially in Red! My daughter calls it the "stud magnet"! It is definitely an eye catcher! It handles nicely and has great power for a V4. Only complaint I have is that when you move the front seats to get into the back seat the seats dont go back to their original position.... Toyota please take note!

  • Absolutely the best car Ive ever owned! - 2002 Toyota Celica
    By -

    I bought this car 10 months ago and I havent been disappointed. On the practical side is 30+mpg, reliability, and resale value. Maintenance is a breeze, except for an underside engine cover (not that bad). Acceleration, braking, and handling/suspension are truly outstanding. The 6-speed manual took little time to get used to and is well- tuned for speed shifting. If you want to feel "one with your machine", this is the car for you. Sure-footed and responsive. Finally, the car is a head-turner; people stop in parking lots to look it over. Friends love to go for rides. My wife loves to drive it too.

  • Im gonna miss this car... - 2002 Toyota Celica

    My Celica treated me so well. Handled like a dream, fantastic gas mileage (always around 30 mpg), not a single mechanical issue in the six years I owned it (bought it used in 2004 with 30k). Very smooth manual transmission. Yeah, theres no backseat, but what do you expect? Its not meant to be a family car. With decent tires, it can handle a Kansas winter, which is saying a lot for a 2400 lb car. I got in a bad front-impact accident and totaled mine, and the crush zones were phenomenal. Everything behind the firewall was completely untouched. For such a small car, I felt very safe in it. Not to mention sexy, because its a dang good looking car.

    This is the best car my hubby bought me. I am so happy with it. I rides so smoothly. I would recommend this car to anyone. It was well worth the money.
