Toyota Celica Coupe (1999 - 2006) 1.8 VVTi 3d (Style Pack) (2005/05) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Superb image. I think it demonstrates success and people still admire its looks regularly.

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

My family grumble about its lack of practicality but still love the look and style of the car

Would you buy this car again and why?

Sadly Toyota have dropped the Celica now otherwise I would have had no hesitation in buying another. I have loved it, from the driving experience, the looks and the great service from my Toyota dealer

What are you likely to buy next?

I have already ordered a Volvo C30 and hope that its as good as the Celica.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£17,500

When did you buy the car?

May 2005

Did you get a good deal and why?

Acquired as a business user so it was bought for me.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

One of the best looking cars on the road at the time and it still looks superb.

What was the dealer like?

Excellent, I can't praise them highly enough.

What's it like to drive?

Although the performance can only be described as adequate, it is a faboulous handling car. Great fun to through around bends and great to be seen in.

What's it like to park?

Not that easy to park. Reward vision is poor and its difficult to place the rear of the car accurately.

Have you had any problems with the car?

In three years the only problem was a broken cd player. It was replaced by the dealer without quibble.

What's most practical about your car?

It isn't really practical, but then you wouldn't buy a coupe if you wanted practical would you?
