Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Handling, controls, gas mileage, reliability, and the fact that it's paid for
Cons: Lack of torque, interior materials, MAF problems, insurance
The Bottom Line: Don't get it if you think you're going to outrun that Vette down the street. Otherwise, a lot of fun to drive.
I made the last payment on this car yesterday. To celebrate being rid of that loan, I decided to write a review based on my experiences over the past five years. My time behind the wheel has covered 115,000+ miles so far, through everything from ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Beautiful exterior. High-tech engine (GT-S). Awe-inspiring handling.
Cons: Cramped interior. Excessive engine noise.
What's up with Toyota lately? Up until recently, it seems its designers were drinking "decaf" in the mornings, and a rather unassuming lineup of cars was the result, especially after the Supra's quiet exit. The Toyota...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Both cars are relatively inexpensive and have decent acceleration
Cons: Mustang has weak handling
The 2000 Celica is a brand new Celica, completely redesigned from the past years. The 2000 Mustang is basically the same as the 99 model which was redesigned that year. Both of these vehicles are similar in several aspects; in this review, I will...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Sporty, fast, reliable, well put together, excellent car in most ways
Cons: Not much head room, poor wiper blades, smallish trunk
Toyota has reputation of making cars that are economical and far from flashy. The Celica has been an exception for a number of years and the new model is no exception.
I drove a 1993 Celica for the better part of six years and loved it. I...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Responsive Handling, breaking, sexy exterior look, engine design
Cons: Rear Hatch road noise, interior dash, responsive handling (both pro and con at times)
The Bottom Line: Excellent driver, bit quirky at low revs. Fun & sporty car. I would recommend this car for anyone with a sporty spirit having to use it as a daily driver.
Pound for pound one of the toughest sport compacts ever made. The 7th generation Celica GT-S doesn't pull punches and justifies every penny its window sticker indicated. Few cars can make its claim to 100 horsepower per liter or its 8,000 rpm redline ...

Pros: Handling, Braking, Transmission, Seats, Reliability, Parking, Lively Acceleration, Looks, Gas Mileage, Resale Value, Toyota Name
Cons: Harsh Ride, Rear Seat Room, Exit/Entrance, Options, Loud Engine, Noise At High Speed, Snow Traction
The Bottom Line: A car for someone valuing performance above all else willing to sacrifice some comfort.
The Toyota Celica is a car that has a very focused purpose that is aimed at a very specific audience ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Sexy, economic, decent handling.
Cons: Celica is advertised as a sports car that it is not.
The 2000 Celica looks like something out of a cartoon. Triangular headlights on the hood, minuscule fog lights and a hood scoop (functional? I am not sure) that definitely makes this car seem aggressive. Its futuristic looking, and definitely more...

Pros: exterior look
Cons: skipping cd, squeaking sunroof
I owned a 2000 Celica GTS for one year and traded that in for a 2001 Eclipse GT about 2 weeks ago and here is my comparison of the two cars. My Celica was a fully loaded automatic, whereas my Eclipse has all the comparable features but is a 5 speed....

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Stylish look , features, price
Cons: Slow, smaller seating compartment
My first car was a 1988 Toyota Celica Hatchback. I loved that car and never forgot it. The first time I saw a picture of the 2000 version I knew it was just a matter of days before I would own one.
It's obvious that the car is beautiful. I...

Pros: Worth every cent!
Cons: none
The car of your dreams! What can I say but WOW! The Toyota Celica is two door sports car that has a sleek body frame to it. It's equipped with a high-tech 160hp engine and 6 speed transmission. I just was recently in my friends Celica and the...

Pros: Excellent styling, performance, fuel economy and enough cargo room to take with you what you need!
Cons: cupholders in the way of the shifter, FM radio stations could use some more signal boost
I have driven and owned quite a few cars in my driving career, and of those cars, the best by far is my current form of transportation, my silver 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S (just like the one in the commercial with the fighter planes!)
I started out...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Timely redesign, relatively faster and sportier
Cons: N/A
Let's forget, for a moment, all the hoopla about the 10-lap pro/celebrity race that introduced the redesigned Toyota Celica. Read the story of a new mother, friend of mine, who refuses to let go of her 1982 Toyota Celica even though she has always...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Handles very well, excellent powertrain, accelerates like a real sports car, nicely finished interior
Cons: None significant
The Toyota Celica is a very sexy sporty coupe that is also fun and practical to drive. If you are considering a sports car but cannot afford a roadster like the Boxter or Corvette, the Celica is a good -- even better in some ways --...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: handling, speed, looks, reliability, fit and finish
Cons: cost, quirky engine, blind spots
The Bottom Line: Think of this as the replacement for the old Mitsubishi Eclipse, except with Toyota quality
So, are you looking into getting a nice sport coupe? Check out Toyota's snazzy new celica! Think of the 7th-generation Celica (year 2000+) as the spiritual successor of the 2nd-generation Mitsubishi Eclipse(1995-1999). (The 3rd-generation Eclipse...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Excellent handling; snappy; its looks
Cons: Blind spots; scratch prone panels
The Bottom Line: I love to drive this car, and am extremely happy with my choice.
I have owned quite a few cars, and driven many more, so when it came to replacing my Ford Probe (which is really a Mazda MX6 in Ford clothing), I wanted something that felt at least as good on the road.
The Celica just had that little bit...
