2002 Toyota Celica User Reviews

Pretty Good. — 140hp for a lightweight car which is OK. Could do with a little more power at times but it is a front wheel drive vehicle so more and more power will only create different problems. Good low, coupe looks with a surprisingly spacious boot. Has a fairly good soundtrack for just a 1.8ltr and given the right conditions the exhaust has been known to make a rather cool crackling noise. 6 geared box which I love but in all honestly only the 1st and 2nd are any fun. I'm not sure if it's just the cheap crappy tyres I have on or if the car just handles like this in general but the car doesn't tend to let you control where you want to go in a slide and sliding by mistake is as a simple as going 40mph+ and turning the wheel a tad too far too quickly. Good driving position and amazing standard bucket seats make it a very comforting place to be and help you feel secure enough to try stupid things on a regular basis. All round a good starters car for someone coming out of their one point nothing baby hatch but after nearly two years of ownership the appeals starting to wear off a bit and I'm craving a bit of none front wheel drive now with a bit more power to it.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Best Performance For The Money — Car handles great in the rain and the dry. seats are comfortable and a little bit race inspired cause they grip you during high speed cornering. performance is very good for a 1.8L four cylinder , great gas mileage. car is very reliable it has never broke down on me. I would buy again if they still made them!!!!!!

Ideal Car For The Twisties. — I love this car even though it is totally impractical....I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. Horsepower is a little low, but the throttle response is pretty good. Replacing the engine SUCKED, but at least I won't have that problem anymore.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Good Car But Not What Im Interested In — it has a great build quality good performance from a 4 banger the exterior looks great with the action body kit that was available from dealer very light car only around 2600-2700 pounds fun car only downfall is that its fwd

Primary Use: Commuting to work

If Your On A Budget And Need Reliable Transportation Thats Also Fun, Here In The Answer. — Always starts, never hesitates, utterly reliable, great on gas 37 mpg, fun to drive, rev happy, asks to be driven hard and very cheap to maintain. Has never needed any mechanical repairs, just routine maintenance. Very spacious trunk makes it pretty practical too.
