  Great Car 1st Car - 2000 Toyota Celica
  By Allen - December 3 - 9:20 am

  Bought this car for my 17 year old daughter. 128K and runs like new, no leaks and interior is in top condition. Never owned a toyota but Id have to say this car is great. Awesome gas mileage. Not too powerful hopefully it will prevent speeding tickets for a teen. An added huge exhaust and cold air intake did bump the horsepower. Great car! Recommend to all parents looking to purchase a first car. I drove the Saturn ION, Cavalier, and Cobalt before purchasing. This one with high mileage beat them in looks, performance, ride and insurance cost. Highly recommend.

Its so fun to drive especially on curvy roads. Gets great excelleration and I love the fact that is a 6 speed. Excellent reliability.. nothing has gone wrong with it whatsoever!!

  Great looks but lacks acceleration - 2000 Toyota Celica
  By Ruukie34 - September 20 - 10:00 am

  I am about a week away from turning in my 2000 Celica. My overall experience is that I loved the looks and the handling but the acceleration has been left on the roadside. The longer and the more I have driven it the slower it seems to be. At this point forget pulling out into to traffic- youll get run over by the time your up to speed (even using tiptronic mode). It has to "warm up" for about 15 mins before it performs the way you want it. Especially in the winter or when it is hot and humid out. Great car but NEEDS more power to keep up with the looks. I would definitely get a manual if I got another one.

  Economical Sports Car! - 2000 Toyota Celica
  By GUY_HANDY - September 9 - 9:50 am

  I have owned this car since new, body #251. This has been an exceptional car with the only mechanical problem being a belt tensioner that squeals a bit on cold wet days (Toyota has a Service Bulletin, and I should have had this replaced under warranty). This car feels so tightly put together, I honestly think Ill have it for another decade. Its economical on gas and insurance but delivers real sports car fun. Handling and braking are exceptional (corvette territory). Acceleration could be better but 0-60 in the low 7 sec range is just fine. Sixth gear on a long highway trip is a relaxing idle at 80mph. Highly stable even at triple digit speeds (youll never hit top end... 155mph)

  Cant beat it for the money - 2000 Toyota Celica
  By Ropiuwerpjf - July 6 - 9:53 am

  My 2000 Celica now has 93,700 miles and it still drives/rides like its brand new. It has had absolutely no problems whatsoever. For the money, it cannot be beat. The Celica combines good looks, good performance, great gas mileage and spectacular reliability. Few cars can offer what the Celica offers for the price. I have no plans to get rid of this car until it falls down in the road, which may take many more years. I couldnt be more happy with a car than I am with this one. Highly recommended!

  Go Karting! - 2000 Toyota Celica
  By Streettuned - May 2 - 2:00 am

  If u like go karting, u will love this the Celica! After 3 yrs of ownership at 36500 miles currently, Ive enjoyed every second in this little rocket. Its a real ZOOM ZOOM experience every time! Steering is quick and precise, cornering is firm and confident, braking is responsive, straight line acceleration is a blast when VVTLi kicks in at 6000rpm and all the way to 8200rpm redline! The only problems I had was the infamous squeaky belt tensioner and a peeling moonroof. They were all covered under warranty.
