Toyota Celica Coupe (1999 - 2006) 1.8 VVTi 3d (Premium+Style Pack) (2003/03) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That I'd rather have a nicer older car than a newer small engined car.

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

They love it and give me compliments every time they see it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, it would take a lot of convincing for me to buy anything else for the same price range.

What are you likely to buy next?

I don't even want to think about replacing this as a daily driver any time soon, I would like the faster version of the Celica but if I was to buy a "weekend car" I'd go for an old MR2, Nissan 300zx, Mitsubishi GTO or Nissan 350z.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£1,995

When did you buy the car?

May 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, it had been very well looked after with services every 10k miles and I'm only the second owner.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Always loved the looks and found out they are much more affordable than I thought.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

It really feels great compared to any other car I've driven.

What's it like to park?

Not too bad but harder than the average car due to the long front and being low down.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing apart from I had to replace the exhaust when a hole appeared (the original lasted over 10 years!).

What's most practical about your car?

That it's very reliable and economic for a sporty car.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Comes with great spec in comparison to other cars that sell for the same price.
