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.

I feel this car has a great look and feel to it when driving. The ergonomics are excellent considering it is a sporty sedan and not a family vehicle. The fuel economy is great as a result of having a manual transmission. The seats conform well to the body and is very comfortable to sit in.
