2001 Toyota Celica GT Reviews

Even purchasing it used, I've had nothing but fun with it! The 1ZZ-FE is a small 1.8 liter engine, but you save on gas, and the VVT-i lets it go pretty quick for 140hp. It's very light, so it handles well, too! The interior and ride are good. The basic form already looks nice, but if you can find the Action Package body kit, it's so pretty! Mine has 148K miles, so it is due for the general maintenance, but nothing too major needs to be replaced. The small engine lets you hit up to 35 miles per gallon (I get 32 because its an auto). Overall, it's a brilliant ride.

pros. Gas mileage for performance.
breathtaking appearance.
reliability wow.
beautiful sound system.
cons. automatic transmission.
wind noise.
understeer without upgraded handling pckge.
maintenance expensive trust me.

i would recommend this car all the way.

not very quick being the gt.
it was absolute red which is a very deep red.
it wasn't very fun to drive cause it wasn't fast and it was
an
automatic.
very good gas mileage though.
very good looking car.
has much potential have a 9.0 compression ratio.

1)performance: The GT celica looks fast but don't be fooled it has the same 1zz engine in your mom's corolla so don't push it, messing ABS but the braking is pretty decent "don't lock your wheels will cost you", handling is what makes this car amazing in my point of view I have taken same sharp corners at 90+ it will hold it. I have the Auto transmission which is a pain if you like to drag.
2) build quality: toyota's are knows for reliability and I have to say I agree in a sense my car has 120K miles on and it is still running smoothly, repairs are within the normal range a little bit more expensive than it's american competitors though. there are some issues though with windows squeaking and rattling in bumps.
3) appearance: in my point of view is what gave the celica it's appeal, the car looks very stylish and the interior is in proportion I love the sport styled seats.
4) cost of ownership: gas mileage is amazing on this car if i am not pressing and holding on the gas i usually get in the range of 30-36 mpg with the best being 40 mpg. cost of maintenance is pretty high both on labor and parts.
5) this car is very fun to drive it looks nice, cruises nicely. THERE IS AN AGE LIMITATION THOUGH 16-25.

Great little car, Very fast, Cheap to Fix and Upgrade
