What Owners are Saying About the 2003 Toyota Celica

"Highly recommend for first car"

"This car keeps going. Bought it for my gf and I tend on giving it to our daughter when she turns 16. That's 3 years away and I fully believe it will be still running strong. Keep the oil changed. Spend the money for the correct oem spark plugs and keep your maf sensor clean and it will roll out when needed. Put some good grip tires on it and it takes corners like a real sports car can."

"Fantastic Car"

"One of the best cars I've ever owned. 2000 GTS 6spd. Drove from Maine to Key West several times, Out to California and back, have owned it for 5 yrs, around 60000 miles & consistently averaged 37 mpg hgwy. It's never needed more than average maintenance & even that has been sparse. Belt change once, oil, brakes, etc... the usual. I've owned 3 accords, a Del Sol, Escape, escort, stealth... this car was a pleasure to own! ps. She also loves to be pushed... hit around 5500 RPM's and you'll see what I mean... redlines in high 7000's."

"My input on the 2000 Toyota celica gt"

"I've had a 2000 Toyota celica gt for a few years now. The one I got is all original and all stock. It has impressed me through the summer and winter. I did a little bit of racing (on a track) with it to see how it handles and it sits very comfortably at 170km/h. I plan on building this car up and seeing what I can add to it. Toyota did a great job with the manufacturing of the celica"
