I fell in love with this car as soon as I saw it. I was actively looking for just this model and found it. I loved everything about it at the time and I still have it a love it. However, it is old now, and things are starting to need replaced and repaired, so I have to make a decision weather to put extra money into it or not. I have recently put in some money that I think is well worth it, although the car is 18 yrs. Old! It still runs very smooth and never strands me.

The Celica that I owned has been a great first car. I have had it in my ownership for about 5 years now and have never had a critical engine failure. However, it has recently become a bit of a money pit as a lot of the undercarriage components have degraded and are continually breaking. Though it is becoming more of a hassle, I blame the weather(and salt use) in my area for the poor condition of the undercarriage and think the build quality of the car is still great.

This car is the best of all worlds. It is sporty, stylish, economical and very fun to drive. I like how the car responds very quickly and accurately in my driving. It is comfortable and has enough power to accelerate onto the freeway when needed. It feels very smooth on cornering and brakes very quickly. The trunk opens up into the passenger seats when needed and supplies great space when hauling large items. I would buy another one of these Celica's if they still made them.
