Lovely to drive but not very comfy. very clostrophobic feeling. No lumbar support. handles quite well but undertseers in the wet.

Fine

Have you had any problems with the car?

Front and rear discs corroded. (common fault) All alloy wheels corroded and blistering.(common fault) Auxillary belt squealing (common fault) Door/Window seal deformed causing wind noise above 40mph. Cant get rid of smell from air-con. changed pollen filter, had 3 treatments and re-gassed it and it still stinks if not used for more than 2 days.

What's most practical about your car?

Nothing practical about a Celica. Back seats are pointless and boot is very shallow due to the rake of the rear window
