Built from a completely different era, the Celica proved that Toyota did in fact once place driving fun as a top priority within their line-up. Even with the engine from a Corolla, the sport coupe's feathery curb weight, sharp steering, and crisp 5-speed transmission made for an incredibly fun vehicle. Only a cramped interior, high levels of noise, and a general lack of features kept the Celica off the short list of most buyers.

A full tank will last me almost 2 weeks worth of commuting. Back when I was in high school I could go an entire month without filling up because my school was only 10 minutes away from my house.

me too. I'm almost 14 and I plan on buying a Celica Mk7 as my 1st car. My school is 10 minutes away but I won't only use it to go to school because it would be a waste of money since I can just walk to my school. I have a few question. Is the celica mk7 reliable ? and is it good in winter ?
awesome car, only mistake toyota made was walking away from all wheel drive celicas

To anyone who is looking to by a Celica of this generation, I would have to say I agree with the majority of what he said in the video. This is a good car if you're in University or what not and need something fun to drive that won't burn your wallet. I get 35mpg mixed and insurgence is very little on this car for new drivers. I would recommend the 5 speed GT because they are more common then the 6 speed GTS. Also, I found that second hand GT's are in better condition more so than second hand GTS. Also the difference between the GT and GTS is the GT is built for economy and requires non-premium fuel; now the GTS is built for performance and has "LIFT" which is a system that is very similar to Honda i-VTEC system where the aggressive cams kick in at 6000rpm (the GTS also REQUIRES premium fuel). Lastly, Parts are also cheap and readily available. Hope this helps anyone in the market for a Celica!

Also forgot to mention a few cons that weren't in the video-- First, I hear they're are oil consumption issues with 2000-2002 Celica. The more reliable models are from 2003+ (they also refreshed the tail lights in 2003 if your into cosmetics). Lastly, the only downfall I faced when owning this car is the hate Celica's get from other car communities. It is worse if you own a Celica with the TRD action package or the Tsunami package. Other car communities will often hate because the Celica cannot compete with the majority of other cars. However, (from my experience) you will get lots of love from your local community because most are not judgmental on how fast your car is.

Thank you for this comment. Many people talk badly about the celica. The reasons for owning one are not to drive around and pretend to be fast, but rather enjoy what you are driving while driving a car from a dependable company and getting great gas mileage. This car should be seen as the most fun you can have while saving money.

Cam Celica Yea, it sucks it doesn't have a good rep, but where I am from (Dallas), Celicas actually get a lot of respect, I have a friend who drive a slightly modified 7th gen Celica, not sure if it's a GT or a GT-S or what the model year is I think it is around 2000-2002, but it looks very badass and and a lot of chicks get attracted by it. Although I'm a Honda guy and this car is no Supra, but this was the last good and fun Toyota made before they got boring with making other crap except for some Lexus cars and the new Toyota Tundra, at least they are the only good things Toyota is doing right now, the Scion FR-S is not a bad car, but it is just not as amazing as the Celica no matter how faster or slower the FR-S is and there is no doubt that the Celica is also better than the Scion TC.
@RyThMcPk

I do have a lot of respect for the FR-S, I think its a good car, and brings back some of that old spark that Toyota is missing. I am not crazy about boxer engines but they do give the cars a very low center of gravity. I love owning a Celica though, FR-S owners and TC owners are always looking and asking about it. The Scion TC is also a good car, but put a 2005 TC beside a 2005 Celica and people will think that the Celica is better looking. The cars look great even by today's standards. My goal one day is to have a supra too, so I can drive around and show people what Toyota use to be. But maybe Toyota is coming back, the FT1 looks fantastic and Lexus is making some awesome cars.

Facts
I think this model is overlooked and is one of the forgotten performance bargains of all time. It's small, lightweight, loud, stiff, hot hatch that's cheap on gas and cheap to maintain. Why isn't the Celica a cult legend? Decent used examples are going for 1/8 the price of a new FR-S. Can't really get much better than that.
@HakeemKazak
9 жыл бұрын
I had the last gen Celica and I currently drive a FR-S, they are on totally different realms so I wouldn't compare it like that, but yes, the Celica was a great bargain for any of its gens. The reason why the last gen struggled to gain popularity is because as he mentioned it still looks really aggressive has a pretty typical Japanese type design which is sadly polarizing for many, wasn't fast enough and was too small for American standards, and a lot of them got "riced up" hard which gave a bad rep to the Celica name, people always joke about apparently how "bad" the Celica was when in all reality it was and still is a perfectly good FWD hatch.

I was more of a Honda guy and never really like Toyota that much, but after the great Supra was discontinued, this Celica was just the last fun to drive and sporty Toyota before they went boring and made bland cars other than some Lexus vehicles, the new Toyota Tundra and the Scion FR-S. The Celica may have gotten outshadowed by its competition like the Prelude and RSX-S and Integra GS-R, but this Toyota still had a good amount of HP for being very lightweight and that one had some of that Honda vibe they put in to this car. The GT-S, of course was the best one, but even in GT form, it's still at least a good car because even with 40 HP less, 140 HP is still not bad for a featherweight and that is what the Miata of the same era can do, but yea, the extra 40 HP (180 HP) and the extra 6th gear in the GT-S would be better, but 140 HP and a 5 Speed Manual is still not a bad choice and it is not that much slower and the good thing is that you can put regular gas in it while the GT-S requires premium and any version you drive, it is better than any Scion TC in both performance, handling, looks and comfort and fun to drive factor. I have a friend who has a 7th Gen Celica as well with the Aero Package that includes the big wing and his is slightly modified and it looks very badass, not sure if it is a GT or a GT-S, but it's a pretty sick car.

Excellent review. I was wondering a few weeks ago why Toyota stopped making Celica. Thanks for the review on history of the car. One of my landlord's caregivers drives a 99 Celica which is still in a pretty good condition. Love it! I would definitely drive one if I can find one with a low mileage in my area. I agree that Toyota should make these baby again.
I am currently on my 3rd Celica, my Daughter has my 2nd. 210,000 and 260,000 miles on the first two. These things go FOREVER and are VERY fun to drive! LOVE these cars!!!
I had a black gt stick for almost 5 years from 16 of high school until I was 20 with 85k miles , besides oil changes and regular maintenance, this car was very reliable and great on gas , it’s a great starter car for someone who just started driving and needs something reliable, cheap, and sporty
I actually like that the switches for the windows are in the center console. Much better than on the door panel.

One addition: the reason for the window controls being in the center console strip was for budget reasons. As you can see, the interior is very, very symmetrical, and this allowed Toyota to easily produce RHD and LHD models with ease. The only unique control on the driver's side door, i think, is for rear-view mirrors. And, just because I love talking about Celicas, I have a 2000 GTS (US), no action package -- although i'm unsure if that was available for the first run 7th gen. The positronic sport shift buttons on the steering wheel, as mine is an automatic, do have somewhat annoying placement. I wish they had just integrated it into the shifter, like the later Honda Prelude among others had. If you're turning at a light, for example, you have to turn the steering wheel and accelerate while trying to keep your finger on the back to hit "up" to shift to 2nd, which is a bit of a pain. the rest of the "eccentric" interior, you might say, was something i got used to _immediately_, but i am utterly in love with this car, and the entire Celica run, especially the 6th gen hatchbacks. The classic (read: old/outdated) Toyota mainstays, including that damn green digital clock, just made me fall in love even more. I wouldn't trade it for anything (well... maybe an FT-86...). Finally, thanks a lot for this review, as it was very insightful and informative, and you clearly know your Celica history. Also, due to this video, I now realize what those little hooks are for in the trunk! I need to buy a cargo net on eBay. I was using them to hang grocery bags and misc. fragile items on, and honestly thought that's what they were for.

I'm so used to having the window controls in the middle now. I'm right handed, and it's more convenient since I drive automatic anyway. Also the passenger can control the windows if the driver is otherwise occupied.
I really wanted one of these when I was a kid. My first car was the Scion tC which is essentially the Celica's spiritual succession.
I have a celica like this I get compliments all the time this little car is cool fun to drive and saves gas
Currently driving a celica ts with 191 horses.... but I guess that is a forgotten namesake.
Always loved the exterior design. It's aging quite well.
This cars body style was way ahead of it's time. Look at some of the newer cars these days, they look alike in a way.
I'm about to get this same car! So excited its got 140k miles on it so glad that i found this gem
Good review. Yep, Toyota Celica, remnant of the age of passion. Seeing a retro hot Celica next to a bland modern Scion or Prius is like seeing Project Ako in contrast to a dull, ritalin soaked Pokemon episode. Remember the 80's, when enthusiasm combined with a vast leap forward in technology.
I’m buying one on Monday... first car I’ve bought. I have a journal from 2001(I was 11) saying “I’m going to buy a Toyota Celica” Btw it’s going to be 2004 GT
I love mine The window switches actually make more sense in the centre because if you drive manual, your left hand is on the steering wheel (and vice versa for right hand drive vehicles). Just makes more sense for manual cars.
I bought a new one in year 2000 and it got alot attention. I had a co-worker ask me if it was Ferrari... 😂 Once my tires had worn down i upsized to the Base GTS 15" rim tire (16" wheel was optional) and helped improve steering input and overall handling.
I'm pretty convinced that today's Scion "TC" stands for "toyota celica" =\ Car manufactures really went down the drain....gone are the fun to drive and very affordable legends such as the toyota MR2, honda prelude, mitsubishi eclipse, just to name a few....

I think you have misunderstood this car entirely. To summarize, I believe it was designed to be an F1 car for the road but without the power - rather the right power and mpg for the road in combination with incredible handling. At this it is incomparable.
Nice review, subbed
the 1.8 gts with 160hp has a 180hp when reved obove 6000rpm, feels like a supercharger kicks in and you go flying. so much fun, you get 130 in no time if you use the gears and engine right.
Beautiful. This Celica looks SO damn good. Some wheels and a drop in ride height it would look killer. I dont like the fact he keep saying when toyota cared... Toyota never stopped caring they just changed their focus. As long as I can buy older Toyotas like this I could careless whats rolling off the showroom floor. But Toyota is going back to their sport roots and that a good thing for car guys

I bought one of these this week (in the UK) and I love it. Looks better in my opinion without the TRD rice kit.
People's opinions on looks are subjective, But I love this car. I love how it looks, I love how it sounds, Completely different than what the other sport compacts we're doing back in the day. This car was a lot like Honda's RSX Type S/S2000 and Civic Si with the high top end power. But even though it only made 180hp it was really lightweight only 2500-2600lbs, In comparison my car is petty heavy around 2900. Also the TRD Action Package body kit was so striking/shocking to all the other sport compacts at the time. I mean Chevrolet only gave my car a huge wing but the Celica GTS is on a whole nother level. I love my Cobalt SS But I have to give Toyota credit this is one of their greatest cars ever made. The FRS/86 Is a return to form with the new Supra on the way, But I wish they gave us a next celica the TC replacement was an embarrassing feat.

I'm hopefully getting a Celica tomorrow. It's an old 2000 GT and it's actually pretty well maintained and never saw winter in Canada lol. Was impressed by how well it still holds and everything seems A1 so far. Only problem is that I'm rebuilding my credit and possibly will have to get 2nd chance credit to finance this. Wish me luck!!
that was awesome! Don't see that around very much anymore. The GTS's are pretty damned quick when they're revved out. You should do a whole playlist on older sporty and sleeper cars. I'd love to see the old SHO's, 3000GT vr4's,Buick Regal GS (247hp/283ft-lbs of torque, same power as a 01 gt mustang in a v6!!), the rare and almost unknown Beretta GTZ, supercharged Cavaliers (came factory with 190hp). There's a lot of cool old cars out there. I'd definitely would love to see those reviews.
wow all this hate for the TC lol. It's a great car, quite powerful and torquey and a great daily driver. I have an 05 with the 5 spd manual- quite fun to drive. I think it deserves some appreciation.

My friend had a 2002. To say the ride is stiff is an understatement. And the seats were great for going around corners, but got uncomfortable after 20 minutes. Her's also had the automatic and was possibly the slowest car I've ever been in. Overall, it wasn't bad though.
found one recently for $2800 and 177k miles!! fully black, owner definitely was a little rough on it interior wise but i sure hope it’s worth it!!
I'm getting one tomorrow for my first car

In Europe were 3 versions of celica - terra (very rare), luna and sol. In luna we have leather steering wheel and it doesn't look like from corolla, climatronic (without this terrible knobs from american and terra versions). So interior is a little bit better. And propably the most important - in european versions was 6-speed gearbox. Summarizing - in Europe celica was even better car than in US. BTW nice review

We had a 6 speed here.
If you do get one. Get one that has less then 250,000 miles on it. Specifically the 2001 models. The one I had was burning oil like CRAZY! Had to keep adding oil in it just about every two weeks. It was a fun car to drive tho.
I really miss the celica. I had two hot wheels cars that were celicas and i thought they were the coolest things in the world. The scion tC hasn't even gotten close to following the footsteps of the celica.
Who wants a gimmicky "push button start" thing...I would take a real key anytime...!
I'm close to 6'5 and I fit fine lol I have a 2005 celica gt action package.

I was going to get a 2003 GTS w/performance package... You said it was called action package, but I thought it was performance package cause I thought it was crazy their were no performance upgrades even though that was the name. It was a really awesome and fun car! I ended up getting a new 03 Honda Accord Coupe, which was awesome.
That is true, celicas are real fun to drive. Hopefully toyota does bring back the celica.
This is an awesome car to drive, the leg room is cramped a little. I'm pretty sure all gen 7 Celicas have 6 speeds, & Toyota do still make sporty cars, the Toyota gt86 is almost a follow on from the celica
One thing I REALLY hate about the Celica's is the cup holders. I don't ever really put any drinks in the cup holders. For one the center armrest cup holders are placed in a horrible position. When a cup is placed in them it is really hard and awkward to shift. 2 the backseat cup holders can barely fit any cups you put in them because the hard plastic hangs over them.
There's one for sale around my neighborhood in a dark blue with all these features looks very aggressive lower to the ground amazing not like a ricer at all.
I bought a 2004 in December of 2017,I love it .

Felipe Tostado Hows it holding up? Would you still recommend getting a Celica
I dig your style of vehicle review.. this vintage of celiac (GTS version) is comparable to my old '03 Matrix Xrs. it was a cool sleeper with its 6 speed manual and 2zzGe engine that redlined at 8200. oh man it was a beautiful sound when that VVTL-i Toyota-Yamaha motor hit lift!!!
If I got this would have to be the GTS real reason is because I have the lotus exige and the engine is bullet proof
I'm thinking of either this or an old wrx as a project/backup car.
it looks *so* good
Seriously I am 6'4' and it's not for short people at all. I have one and It is really comfy and easy to drive, if you take in consideration that it is a sport car after all.. Moreover, this model in video has the worst equipment I ever saw... That's why he was so critical about interior and equipment. Overall, great car! Take care

I bought an RSX and was looking at a 2003 Celica. It felt small inside and I'm only 5"6 and thin and surprisingly at only about 60,000 kms it was loose panels whereas my daily RSX with 300,000 kms still has tight panel gaps. Also didn't have as my features.
love the dam lawn mower in the background! You honestly could nott wait to film???
The GTS is considered a sports car for sure. If you dont believe me call my car insurance lol

+Nicolas Crews I believe every one is in title for there opinions but perhaps people should give out facts instead of false testimony. In this video I see alot of wrong facts about this car. Not saying is a bad video. Just false advertising. What you think? I personally love this car. GT or GTS both.

its not a sports car. its just an average car which has a massive ricer body kit on it, its front wheel drive meaning major understeer and the wing doesnt actually make it faster it makes it slower. it only has 174bhp whereas something like a 2.0l bmw has 184 bhp

beautiful car.
I drove one of these. so fun for what it is. I want one
I know he said that the back is pretty tight but is the front seats are pushed forward a little, can it still be comfortable (despite passengers knowing it may be a squeeze to get in)
