Toyota Celica Coupe (1999 - 2006) 1.8 VVTi 3d (Premium+Sport Pack) (2001/Y) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That I am a bit flash (which I am), and that I can tell a bargain when I see one.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

My wife loves it, and all my friends pass v appreciative remarks.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I expect to keep this for some years, but I might by another if I found one five years newer with five years less mileage.

What are you likely to buy next?

Not sure, too happy with this to think of it.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£2,800

When did you buy the car?

October 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

I think a good deal. Genuine low mileage (55k) and a good price.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted something interesting, and had a Mark IV Celica in the past.

What was the dealer like?

Very friendly and informative. A good bloke.

What's it like to drive?

Very nice. Firm ride, you feel the bumps but then they are gone. Easily quick enough for any situation.

What's it like to park?

Not too bad, the rear spoiler IS the back of the car.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not yet though I have only had it a week. But it is rated in the top ten reliable cars from JD Review, so I hope all will be well.

What's most practical about your car?

I didn't get it to be practical, but for a Coupe, I can still get all the family in!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The sunroof - still beats air con on a sunny day.
