From what I know, the Celica 2ZZ and the Elise 2ZZ are identical, at least internally. Same head, same block. The difference in power comes from a different ECU and different tune. Toyota and Yamaha have a historical relationship spanning a few engines, like the 4A-GE 20 valve. The Celica 2ZZ has that Yamaha designed head. Also, I'm surprised you didn't make a VTEC joke! The 2ZZ has variable valve timing and lift, only Toyota engine to get it!

1:50 The 2ZZGE anywhere aroud the world but America HAD the Yamaha head and that means more power (192bhp) and higher redline (8200 and 8400 for JDM models). Cool engine, might burn some oil, but when maintained properly, it's really good fun. 3:30 This is a partial reason. Kids didn't want to be seen in douchy coupes, young people suddenly realized SUV's were "cooler", that's why the sales of cheap sport cars dropped and sales of cheap small SUV's rocketed to the sky. There were loads of coupes or roadsters, pretty much every car maker had one in 90's/early 00's, but by the end of 00's I can think of 2, maybe 3: Scion tC, MX5, RX8. I really wanted the GT86/FRS/BRZ to success because I want small coupes back, especially RWD ones and if the GT86 was a flop, that would mean the concept of a small sport car was dead. That's why I think it deserves all the hype it got.

The hood scoop is actually functional, just not in the traditional sense. On the GT-S is has a little air duct attached to the firewall. The exhaust gets really hot on lift so it's there to carry heat away from the exhaust and under the car.

The hood scoop is funtional. But not in the way you would think. It uses the ram air to cool the exhaust manifold to reduce the overall temperature when driving in harsh conditions

This was one of my most wanted cars in my high school/early college years. It was one of the main ones I was looking at after my first car (typical old 100,000+ car; was a '96 sebring). I always loved how these things looked. I was hoping to get this, or an eclipse. I wound up settling on an '09 eclipse when I found one that was barely used, but dang, I still wouldn't mind driving this car someday either. I've since moved on from that eclipse too but that's besides the point.

I remember back in like 2010 when my dad got one of these in black and we went to my primary school, and there was like 5 kids running and pointing at the car xD

I've got an 04 Celica T Sport in England. It's a great car. Very cheap to buy, cheap to insure, cheap to run. I can fit people up to approx 5ft 9" in the back. The boot is big enough for a full weekly shop. It's acceleration is just fine for a daily driver. Handling is also very good for a FWD with no LSD. It is more than possible to shift at the redline of 8200 rpm and maintain lift in the next gear. Gearbox is great. The gears practically shift themselves lol. Overall, it's a great car.

I have a 2002 gts with the TRD package and a phase 3 chip, with 210,000 miles on it, and still loving it today!

I like the Celica. My family had the 2nd generation hatchback growing up. Thanks for the vids. I enjoy them. It takes my mind off the crap of life, Makes me smile and remember all the cars I have driven and enjoyed,

That Pontiac sunfire what a hideous car. Still see a ton of those and cavaliers on the road, like cockroaches.

Joseph Donnelly The celica looks way worse by comparison, and doesnt really offer anything more than a Sunfire can. Id say the little Pontiac did pretty good on its own to hold the market share. And besides, there is a reason you cant kill them. The 2.4 cars may have an issue here or there, but they are fast, light, and balanced, and stupid reliable. Id take one of those over any toyota of the 90s, any day.

Didnt read all the comments but hopefully it was mentioned before... The celica doesnt have a lotus engine... Actually the lotus has a celica engine. All 2zz's were created equal! Celica gts, matrix and corolla xrs, lotus, runx, etc. = Same engine! Same yamaha heads on ALL of them. In the lotus It was only rated with higher hp because of a different intake design and a different ecu... Valve lift would actually kick in on a way lower rpm than the toyotas depending on how hard you press the gas pedal. Toyotas had it at a 6000-7200rpm starting point depending on the year and model all the way up to 8250-8300ish. I had a matrix xrs it was moded and tuned. It was actually tuned by redliner9k...

The 2ZZ-GE is the same between the Celica GT-S and the Lotus. The 2ZZ is basically the 1ZZ with a head redesigned by Yamaha. Lotus bought them from Toyota just like that. The couple horsepower difference is from a different ECU and a slightly higher rev limit.

The 2ZZ has also a bigger bore and a shorter stroke. Because the 1ZZ and 2ZZ are so identical, you can put the long stroking 1ZZ crank in a 2ZZ and have a 1.9 2ZZ.

FD36 If you want to get technical, it also has less tendency to burn oil than the 1zz, due to different pistons/rings. I put a 2ZZ-GE in my MR2 after the cat disintegrated and ruined my 1zz.

The differences between the two engines was subtle, you coooouulld use an ECU from an Elise if you rewired it and had the money to buy it, but even the Matrix 1zz ECU doesnt "clip right in" to the Celica 1zz wiring harness. So trying to make the shit work in that way is rediculous while for the price you can buy a Megasquirt plug and play, get the car tuned and that fucker will feel like an Elise.

bought a celica as my first car (in the uk). absolutely love the damn thing

Remember that this is the end-of-line nerfed-for-emissions horrible automatic Celica GTS... The UK/EU version is so much better... 6 speed manual transmission, cam changeover at 6200RPM, redline at 8200RPM, and 190HP. :P I'm pretty sure there isn't even an Auto option for that car in UK/EU, for good reason. Its a stupid car to put an automatic gearbox onto...

US GT = UK VVTi US GT-S = UK T-Sport UK GT = T-Sport with TRD body kit, Eibach springs and leather/alcantara interior. Various US market Toyota had ECU/mapping changes to meet emissions regulations. Some have different rev limits, some have higher cam change points, some have less power. A few are the same spec as an EU car though. And I didn't say that all of them were auto, I was just pointing out that this one was, so for that reason (combined with the fact that this one has a nerfed engine) is a reason to not pay much attention to this video... :) I had a UK GT (192HP) which was fantasic, combined with a lightweight flywheel, LSD, stage 1 clutch, custom intake, TRD gearing, and gearbox spring/linkage/shifter mods, it was a pleasure to drive, and even more of a pleasure to thrash ruthlessly! These days I have a '98 MX5 (Miata) 1.8iS though, which I am restoring. The Celica went not because it broke, but because muggins here (me) broke it!

You should remake this with my celica! 2000 GT-S 6 Speed!

I drive a 2003 Toyota Celica GT. He is my trooper, it has seen so much. Through California, to Texas, Florida, and now home in Texas. That tiny red car has over 260,000 miles on it and runs like a champ. I replaced the hydraulic lifters to the truck. Bought it a new set of lights (not just the bulbs but headlights) a new bumper, and its amazing. Sure, it has its kinks but its got a character that cannot be rivaled by other vehicles. I love my celica. And those who say otherwise can stick to their vehicles.

I am the owner of a 2003 Toyota Corolla Fielder wagon. It is a JDM model with the 2ZZGE engine, and 4-speed automatic transmission that goes into 4-speed manual mode. The JDM version of the 2ZZ is rated at 190HP. All the 2ZZ engines have Yamaha heads. (Since the advent of the S2000, Yamaha has had tremendous input in Toyota's high performance engines up to the Lexus LFA.) This is the best Japanese vehicle I ever owned. It is doing 220,000kms and runs up easily to 190kms/hr where the limiter cuts in. In the video, it was never mentioned that the engine carries VVT with Lift also. At the time this engine came out, it was the most powerful 1.8L engine out there. Compression ratio was 11.5:1. The engine fitted in the Lotus Elise had a supercharger installed. Really, the automatic and manual give two different driving experiences. The engine begs to be revved ! Trinidad & Tobago.

This was a fantastic review!

Both the Lotus and Toyota engines were 2ZZ-GE and both were co-developed by Yamaha. They are the same engine! Same block, same head, same variable valve timing and lift. The Elise made like 9hp more than the GTS and 16ish hp more than the XRS because of little technical differences (emissions) but they're still completely identical engines.

A crowned prince (looks down sees automatic) "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" exacly how i feal with every car ever.

I've owned several of these things at this point. (Obviously someone pointed out that the Elise and GT-S motors are indeed the same). Something to note for anyone who is curious about owning one of these, or the MR2 Spyder. When concerning the 1zzfe, avoid the 2000-2002 ones with higher than 120k miles, unless you want to do a rebuild or a swap. The engine had weak rings that were used in order to help shorten the break-in period, and too few oil delivery holes in the pistons themselves. My first 01 started to consume oil at an alarming rate around 140k miles. Because it's an engine flaw, this problem will follow the engine itself. (Corolla, MR2 Spyder, etc). This problem was fixed on the 1zzfe from 03-05. (At 130k now on my 05 GT).

I don't hate automatics, but if you are going to buy a Celica, manual is definitely the way to go, even in GT-S form, the automatic is not worth it, not only it is slower than a 6 Speed GT-S, but the auto GT-S is no better than a 5 Speed Manual GT in terms of performance and with the Manual GT, you can still run on regular unleaded gas and get better fuel economy #'s than the GT-S, if you are gonna buy a GT-S, buy a manual, a manual is the way to go to buy a Celica. Unless you can't stand rear drum brakes, a Manual GT is even better than an Auto GT-S.

if you want to buy any car, other than a mini van, or a family truck, buy a manual. If the car your looking at can come manual always take a look at the manuals, because 99% of the time they are better. Also where you live also has an impact on this decision. Red lights and weather can be a bitch, in which case automatic is much better.
