The 1996 Toyota Celica got a few cosmetic changes for the model year. The coupe was available with larger, curvier rocker panels, intended to give the Celica a sportier look. In addition, the 1996 Celica received improved sound insulation in response to complaints that the car let in too much road noise.
The 1996 Toyota Celica came in three body styles: the convertible, the hatchback, and the coupe. The coupe was available as a base ST or the somewhat sportier GT. The liftback came as an ST and a GT with an optional sports package. The convertible was a GT. For 1996, Toyota also released a 25th Anniversary hatchback ST and convertible GT, which were limited edition, numbered models with commemorative badging. The ST had a 1.8-liter, 110-horsepower engine, and the GT stuck with the same fifth generation engine at 2.2 liters and 130 horsepower. Fuel economy was about 21 to 34 mpg.
*Owners* of the 1996 Celica like the style of the car and find it looks current even today. Drivers also appreciate that they can get a reliable Toyota in a sporty package. Complaints include a backseat that is too small for even average-sized adults, and a lack of power.
4.7 Overall rating
(37 reviews)Performance is ok, decent handling but needs more power. Build quality is excellent, I really like the appearance, some people hate the headlamps. Does around 30-35mpg, main problems were ABS sensors, engine was bullet proof. They are getting old now though.
Was a GT4 WRC 1998 of 2500 made world wide 0-60 easy 5 seconds outstanding performance and handling
love the bodywork, solid engine and performance, Handles well and the chicks dig it! The interior is mint and has chrome features with more to come. Fuel economy is excellent on long range journeys but its not for town driving as it canes the fuel. Its fun to drive and the stereo rocks.
Toyota Celica GT-FOUR Jap Import. These cars are beasts!!, 255bhp as standard, amazing reliability as long as its looked after and maintained, If buying one watch out for worn diffs, fig 8's and high boost settings etc. The performance is staggering and with the 4wd handles like its on rails!, Not the best mpg but to be fair, you dont buy one of these if you consious about over spending as these need to be maintained and serviced with the highest quality parts. Everytime i drive the car it still to this day puts a smile on my face!!
the car is a belter for a 2.0l non turbo, 157mph and 0-60 in about 7 secs lol, but main power range is between 60-145 when the vvti comes in, nice looking car , real head turner and never let me down mechanically,
