Toyota Celica Coupe 1.8 VVTi (190ps) 3d (2000/X) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Loads of kit, folding mirrors, climate etc - bought as an import with 22k miles on clock.
Costs
Cheaper to buy than UK car (well, considering they're imported anyway why pay more?) Insurance £678 for import 190, good deal I thought, but I am 32 with 65% no claims.

On the road
Driving
Only had the car a week and I love it, great driving position.
Performance
Ignore the "low down lack of grunt". Try a test drive first, then take it over 6000rpm and watch your passenger get thrown back in the seat while grinning all the way to 9000rpm, lovely.

Living with it
Reliability
Only had this one week but it's covered by 3 year warranty anyway.
Image
Looks fantastic for a car made 5 years ago - my car is debadged and the subtle TRD logos set the car off.
Comfort
Would be nicer with lumbar support but I have got a dodgy back.

Security and Service
Security
Standard immobiliser/alarm fitted and a steering wheel lock - you can't be too careful.
