Cons

cant find a reason

Looks Fast And Is Fast. Wat Can I Say. — the valve drop system is amazing. u definately feel a good punch around 6000 rpm. also its a 4 banger so i can save gas and be very fast at the same time. very light weight allowing the 4 banger to carry it deep into the 100 mph range.

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

Great Car For Daily Driver And Then Some — Fun car to drive. I love the look inside and out. Mileage is above average about 30 mpg. Has a great engine but would like to do upgrades. Braking and handling is great. Off the line it's a lil slow but great for freeway racing.

Celicas Are Great — The Celica is my first ever car, and i abslutely love it. It handles amazingly, has a lot of power, and gets 33 MPG. I havn't had any problems with it this year other than just normal brake pad replacement or soemthing like that. My only real disatisfaction is that i wish i got a stick shift instead of automatic.

Celica Gt - Its Sexy. — Performance - Handles great, really tight cornering. Could use more power, especially down low. Quality - Toyota, that's all you need to know. Appearance - 18"'s, CF hood, TRD wing and kit. gets glances. Cost of ownership - minimal maintenance. Gas mileage is as good as you can expect from a 1.8L engine. Fun factor - extreme.

Stassia's Celi. =] — My car runs like a champ. I havent had any problems with it, but its only got 40,000 miles on it. Best car ive ever had. LOVE it. Not sure if id ever have another car that wasnt a celica. =] I bought it back in June of 2007 with 32,000 miles on it. It was completely stock then, I got the kit put on in March and just got the new set of rims a week or so ago. Yes, she was built not bought. Its slow, I admit that. I dont feel the need to lie and say its fast just to look cool. Its all show, no go. =]

The Funnest Car To Drive I've Ever Had. — This is a 2003 Toyota Celica GT-S. This car gets 30 mpg, has a 6 spd., handling is great, when it hits 6000 RPM it really goes. For the money I don't know how you could find a car that is more fun to drive.

Great First Car By Kevin
