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.

The 2005 Toyota Celica gives the driver a great experience. It really hugs the road and has excellent performance. For a sports car, the gas mileage is pretty good overall. It is especially nice on the highway when you can switch on the cruise control and just chill. It comes with a nice sound system that makes music sound really good. The car looks like it is going fast, even when it is standing still. Just because it is a sports car does not mean it cannot be used as a daily driver. It does not have to go fast to perform. My friends at work were very jealous when I first drove up in it. In fact, one of them said I had the nicest car at the store. The seats are extremely comfortable, and I like to put them fairly far back when driving. Some of the bad aspects of the car are some cheap interior parts and the blind spots. Some of the interior fabric pieces in the car door have frayed and the pneumatic trunk opener has failed. The worst thing about driving this car is the blind spots. It is sometimes a challenge to see a car next to you. All in all, the benefits outweigh the negatives of driving a 2005 Toyota Celica. I hope to keep mine for a very long time and would recommend them to anyone who wants a sports car but does not necessarily drive fast.
