2003 Toyota Celica OWNER RATINGS & REVIEWS
Westfield, Massachusetts
Love this car, especially the handling and looks.
I like the Celica's handling characteristics, styling and overall comfort. The front seats are especially comfortable for long rides and around town. They are more of the bucket style and grip the driver around and keep planted in place. This adds to the overall enjoyment of the vehicle. The rear seats are definitely on the smaller side, but currently not being actively used so I do not consider it a big con to count against the car. The styling choices that we made by Toyota are pretty timeless. The car is short, easy to maneuver in tight spaces and does not take long to get used to driving. The hood has a sleek air ram style option which adds to the sporty looks. The model of the car is GT, which is the lower end of the spectrum with 140hp compared to 180hp that came with the GTS model. However, the GT model is more preferable in the city driving conditions since it has more torque in the lower end of the RPM range, which is more useful in the city. Toyota Celica is widely known as the driver's car with really good handling that is raved about by owners. I am constantly reminded that I made the right choice by purchasing this model. My Celica GT came with the manual transmission, which also is a great choice for real enjoyment on the backroads and highways. The 6th speed is not available on the GT model, which is the only drawback on the highway. The color of the car is black which looks pretty good with age, however all models are known for gradually peeling paint so that is definitely a concern as time goes on. Overall I would strongly recommend this model, although it came out of production in 2003.

Happy with a car hat isn't made anymore
The look of the front of the car is outstanding, sporty, elegant, and almost futuristic. I walked into the showroom and fell in love with the car at that sight, and even though it is now 15 years later, the look still holds up against more modern cars. (Now, if only the back end looked as good!) With sun roof, cruise control, and decent default sound-system, the car is just fun to drive. I am beginning the search for my next car, but I don't mind telling myself "eh, why not just keep this one for a few years more?"
