  Fun Little Car - 2001 Toyota Celica
  By STLSportsGirl - December 18 - 2:40 am

  This is a fun little car. Very sporty on the inside and out. You do have to keep in mind that this car is little, the boyfriends head is about a 1/2 inch off the roof and he is 6ft 2. Acceleration is nice as well as the handling. Nice sound system, with a cd and tape! She is a little noisy and her rpms do run a little high when idling...but other than that a great car! She sits VERY low to the ground as well so if youhave trouble getting in and out of small, low cars, this is not the car for you.

  By case - September 18 - 8:53 am

  I bought my 2001 Celica GT off of eBay in October, 2004. Its been a great car. Only thing I wish it had was a 6th gear, other than that it is an amazingly fun reliable little car. I would definitely recomend it if thats what youre looking for.

  LOVE my Celica!! So sad I have to give her away :( - 2001 Toyota Celica
  By pharmstud91 - August 14 - 2:12 pm

  I bought from a private seller in 2005 and I could not be any happier with it. It had 27,000 miles then and has 117,000 miles now with absolutely no mechanical issues whatsoever. The only money spent on this car is oil changes, tires, and the fuel gage detector (wasnt expensive). Gets amazing gas mileage but definitely struggles to get up to speed and up hills which is to be expected from a 4-cylinder. Handling is perfect, could turn a U-turn on a dime, and super fun to drive. There is definitely a lack of space if you want to fit more than 2.5 people in there. I am 6 tall though and have had no issues besides ducking down due to it being so close to the ground. Great car!!!

  Fun little car- - 2001 Toyota Celica
  By Paul - June 10 - 4:16 pm

  I bought this as my second car when my 95 Nissan Altima proved to be too much of a lemon. Love the seats and stereo. I have gotten many glances in this car, and the dark blue looks great at night. The engine could use a little more low end torque, and I would have enjoyed having a manumatic option on the transmission, as I could not get my hands on a decen manual.

  Quick and nimble - 2001 Toyota Celica
  By Scott - May 29 - 3:23 am

  I have owned this car for almost a year now and it has been the most reliable car Ive ever owned. It is very quick and has excellent gas mileage. It can turn on a dime and can hang around a turn faster than most cars due to its sporty suspension. There are also a ton of aftermarket parts out there to make these cars the coolest and fastest on the road.

  Great Concept Car - 2001 Toyota Celica
  By Eric_tkd19 - May 13 - 10:00 am

  This is my second car. It blows my old honda civic away with is sleek style and power. The interior is very sporty though the back seat is, well not meant for people. But that is what you get for buying a small concept car.

  Celicas Are So Fun To Drive - 2001 Toyota Celica
  By Tiffywiffy0503 - September 25 - 3:23 pm

  I have nothing but great things to say about Celicas. I love mine and havent had any problems with it! So many people tell me how nice my car is. It is the best looking sporty car that gets such good gas mileage! Its got a lot of horse power for a 4 cylinder. I plan to keep my Celica for years to come!

  01 Toyota Celica GT-S 1.8L Auto. - 2001 Toyota Celica
  By Christina_Pittsburgh - February 14 - 5:53 am

  There isnt enough space to say how much I love this car. Bought used with 43000 miles on it, it still felt brand new. After 7 years and pushing 170000 miles, it still has kick in the horsepower dept. and handling is stiff and reliable. If it werent for my daughter and the lack of space in the back seat I would definitely by an 05. Why would they discontinue this sporty, affordable, and I think beautiful and originally styled car? After 7 years, Im still in love with it.
