This Year's Model Updates:

The 2003 Toyota Celica has been revised with freshened front and rear styling. In front, the Celica gets a new bumper and fascia with a wider upper air intake. Newly available high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights complement the car's advanced styling, and redesigned rear lights echo the projector-style look. Inside, Toyota has redesigned the center dash cluster for improved legibility and added a standard JBL audio system to the GT-S model. A power antenna is now standard on JBL-equipped models. Finally, you can get two new colors: Solar Yellow and Zephyr Blue Metallic.

Pros:
  • Radical styling, rev-happy GT-S engine, outstanding steering/braking/handling.
Cons:

  • TOYOTA CELICA BEATS THE COMPETITION - 2003 Toyota Celica

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

    Very fun car, at first I bought an 2000 Acura Integra Type-R but I didnt like it despite its 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..

    We got this car for my wife. She is petite and wanted a sporty look and I wanted something safe with good gas mileage. This was the perfect balance. We have driven it all over northeast and even taken it camping. the boot space is terrific and can accomodate almost anything you need. gas mileage is almost 31/38. Braking is very good and it handles very well in snow and city Ice. We r in Buffalo, NY and u dont have a better place to test that. She loves the look and the drive I love the handling and utility. My Wife wants to keep it forever.

    The performance of this car is great. Driving mountain roads in California it really feels solid. There are no unpleasant surprises in the handling that Ive encountered.

    I have purchased many cars in my lifetime, but I must say that I really like this car. It has a good sound system, and is very sporty. I am always receiving compliments on it even though it is 6 years old! I am single, so I wasnt the least bit concerned about a 4 door. It is very economical and I fill up my tank way less than previously. All in all, I couldnt ask for a better vehicle.

    Ive now owned this car for more than 2 1/2 years, and I still love it! Its a blast to drive, very nimble in tight parking situations, and it has decent acceleration from a dead stop. With todays gas prices, its gas sipping quality is very much appreciated by this happy Celica owner. Reliability has been great, and when I clean it up, it still looks brand new. If you want a good used car that looks sporty, handles well, and gets good gas mileage, youll love this car!

    This Celica gets more stares and comments then any car I have ever owned. Kind of funny to see a 58 year old women driving it I guess, from young kids to adults it is an eye catcher, and handles great. My husband talked me into buying it, at first I was not sure and now I am glad I did!
