2002 Toyota Celica Preview summaryImage

The 2002 Toyota Celica changed very little, with the exception of the new "Action Package" available on both trims, which included an adjustable rear spoiler.

The 2002 Toyota Celica was available only as a hatchback, which came as a GT or sportier GT-S. The GT came with a 1.8 liter, 140 horsepower engine. The sportier GT-S, which had distinctive exterior and interior styling, came with a 1.8-liter, 180 horsepower engine. This generation was also the first Celica to come available with a six-speed manual transmission. The GT engine got about 27/34 mpg, and the GT-S engine got about 23/30 mpg.

Drivers love the 2002 Celica's appearance. Many appreciate that they can get a sporty-looking car that can still be used as an economical commuter car. Many drivers find the interior to be too small, and others find that there is poor visibility out the rear window.

I bought it, even though its missing a spoiler which will be added ASAP. I am a Celica lover, previously owned a 77 & 91 ST, a 79 and 81 Supra, a 2000 GT and currently own a pristine 2001 GT. So now I purchased this 2002 GT for my sons wife who cant wait to drive it. The price I paid is a good value based on many factors. I had it professionally inspected by Classic Car Inspections, and it passed with flying colors! The 2000-2005 Celica series is comparable to the 2000-2006 Acura RSX series which I keep looking for.

The car us super clean and nice. Rust here and there but its not that bad. It drives smooth and was a great price for it. No complaints. Jul 31, 2021

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.Aug 21, 2011
