@@KL-ot1vt die to how light the car is they suck in the winter. New tires with great tread... Black ice or very slick snow doesn't discriminate. But add wind to the mess and it's not safe taking it out. I was headed on my way home back home during a blizzard going 50 on a 60 mph zone as everyone was. Just took a gust of wind and a bulk patch of snow to cause me to lose control. I spun 360 3 times till I was finally able to get it under control just missing the wall. I also had a semi 50 feet behind me but he was able to slow down. Not a scratch cause I some how missed the semi and the wall... Not to mention two other cars. I'm glad that you made it out alive. Not many people survive a crash like that. Was this on a highway as well?

Got my Toyota Celica 2000 a few weeks ago, I am so fucking happy with it! Also loving your ride man! Hope she is still going well :)

Thank you for a great video! I’ve been looking for a seventh gen celica the last month and you’re videos have been a great help! Keep it up👌🏻

Seriously contemplating selling my NC MX5 Sport Black and changing to one of these, I'm in the UK so for us the Celica GT has the 2zz engine. Really good buyers guide, can be applied to basically all cars and I 100% agree that you should rev a car you are interested in buying especially if it has any form of variable valve timing. Big fan of the Toyota 86 wheels, very OEM+ looking!

Purchased my 2005 Celica in 2008 still run strong. Daughter drove it four years during her college years. After she bought her new Corolla she gave it back to me.

Great video man, I couldn't agree more with everything you said. The only thing I'll add is when your in the trunk bay lift and check the spare and pulls those side access panels and look for any rust or holes. I live in northern PA and they can rust up underneath and it isn't visible anywhere but your trunk will get wet when you drive in the rain. Not an awful fix but something to be aware of.

Im in my 30’s and absolutely enjoy my gts! A blast to drive!

Great video, I have a 2001 gt auto. Still driving it. I got it in 2004. It was the only celica they had in my city.bought it used at Toyota .

This celica slaps, its so clean and stunning. Props.

Appreciate the video bro I’m looking at one now

For the hatchback if your wanting to get a trd wind I had to replace my hydraulics to hold it up but it honestly wasn't that hard just don't put to much force or you will end up bending the part where it's bolted down on

Very tasteful body kit, have seen some horrendous bumpers and spoilers on these but yours is pretty excellent.

I owned 5th 6th and 7th gen. I love them all. But my opinion 7th is better overall. Fuel economy, comfort, looks and working on them for me is easier and 1zz-fe is a good engine as long as you change oil and check it once a week at least. I miss 3s-ge engine though because of crazy reliability. I once drove 35miles without coolant and I only screwed headgasket but for someone who is a mechanic and loves working on them it was as holiday. I'm not sure if 1zz-ge could take it though.

ive watched this video idk 50 times now, going onto buy my second celica, gts, so might as well watch this again, brought good luck with my last celica lets do it again lol

I just bought a 2002 GT in May. Like it, but it sure could use more power. I’ve heard good and bad about the GTS (potential reliability issues), but after researching it, all the potential problems can be remedied with a few important upgrades. Kinda makes me wonder if I should have held out for a GTS instead of my GT. Don’t get me wrong, I do love my GT, and love the reliability.

How do you like it a year later? May be getting one tomorrow.

just some pointers. get a lav mic and try to avoid recording on windy days. and when you cut and change takes make sure you leave some extra time at the beginning and end so you don't cut off your audio and you can transition smoother between clips. and possibly a handheld gimble for extra fluidity for those walk around shots. for driving shots maybe mount the camera inside the cabin or a couple go pros to capture everything from a better perspective. Absolutely love the Celica. I've got a 5th gen with a 3sgte swap and its a beast.

Very informative 👍

It is now at 101,000 miles. I wanted to swap out the engine for a GTS engine but found out that a GTS engine will not fit into a GT model. 😥 But I LOVE this car. I hope they bring it back some day. Apparently toyota in January were discussing and entertaining bringing back both the MR2 and the Celica but feel like they can't justify making more sports models.

Where can you buy the 7th gen automatic Toyota celica

Toyota should orange them back but yo the 7th gen is my fave they can look so clean and sporty like yeah and the 6th gen is classic too.

I just bought a 01 celeca for 2,700$. Paint is not great but has barely 100,000 miles. Gt model.

Dude the only celicas I can find are ones that don’t even run or ones that just barely run, the only one I found close to me is one that’s stuck in third gear....

I prefer the pre facelift (00-02) appearance wise. Front bumper, instrument cluster, tail lights, and especially fog lights. (Pre facelift have glass projector fog lights that not only look better but never fade and turn yellow, while facelift fog lights are plastic and reflectors, so they look ugly and after a while, they turn yellow and faded.)

@@treeskier802 I bought this car because I used to have an 03 Gt I bought from a salvage auction. Was never perfect but it ran great. This car is a gts (learning to drive shift stick). The engines on these cars are built well. The only reason I bought it was the price, 1 previous owner, it was not run/race through like young racers do and everything on it is OEM parts, original paint with some tiny chip, OEM wheels. Some say these cars last to 250,000-300,000 other say it can go longer if properly taken care off. My decision was pure nostalgic and lightly using it that and I don't want to go the EV route
