1993 Toyota Celica

Pros: Better handling, quality, and style than Amer. sportscar.

Cons: Clutch went at 125,000 miles (I work it hard).

The Bottom Line: Buy this car! It's fast, reliable, and real good on gas...even at 130,000 miles!

Review: When I was 18, I bought a '93 GT-S with 82K on it for 6500 bucks. My friends (big GM lovers) thought I was crazy for buying something with "so many miles on it and so old." Come to find out, they were just used to their American cars "with American horsep ...

Pros: FLAWLESSLY DEPENDABLE, gas mileage, handling, affordability, style

Cons: road noise, plexiglas dash glass, dome light

The Bottom Line: UNBEATABLE. As a dependable, economic, "sporty" commuter car or first vehicle for a teenager, look no further.

Review: I bought a new '93 Toyota Celica ST (with the 1.6 L 4 cyl. engine) as my first car 9 years ago. 97,500 miles later, I have not had to take it to a shop for a major repair, it runs wonderfully, and I still regularly get 34-36 mpg.

I spent a...

Pros: Reliable, high resale value

Cons: Red paint fades without lots of wax

Review: Well, I guess nothing is really completely free. But, the great little Celica GT comes as close as any car does. I helped my daughter buy one brand new in the summer of 1993. She drove it, hard, for five years, at college, to work and back and forth...

Pros: beautiful,reliable,not too costly

Cons: not for BIG families

Review: I bought a 1993 Celica GT in January of 1998. This was honestly the best vehicle purchase I have ever made! I love the sporty way it handles without the ridiculous cost of a true "sports car." Very tight steering, no swaying around corners,...

Pros: Very Reliable!!

Cons: Back Seat not for big people.

Review: I bought this car in September 2004 with 215,000 kms on the original engine, and as soon as I bought it i got the engine looked at by my mechanic, and there were no signs of anything that needed to be replaced, or repaired. These cars do not rust easy(as ...

Pros: Reliable, Good Power, fuel economy

Cons: room in vehicle

Review: This is a amazing little car! I purchased this car in June of 2005 with 63,000 kms on it and i have put on 58,000 since then(18 months) and i have had no trouble at all. I purchased it from original owner and he never had any major problems! This car ...

Pros: Dependable, Stylish, Perfect

Cons: small back seat, tough ridin in winter

Review: Sleek, and stylish, coolest looking car i'll ever have =( yeah, some things were wrong with it, but all stuff that i broke myself or that i could live with out anyways. little things like the dome light or gas light were a little messed up, but no big ...

Pros: Style, reliability, easy power (GT-four), something a bit different!

Cons: Head gaskets (GT-four especially), fuel consumption could be better. Too many thrashed examples.

The Bottom Line: Get one if you're sure it's a good one. If it needs things doing straight away, walk. They'll multiply.

Review: I've owned six of this generation of Celica now - including two JDM GT-fours. So I have an idea what I'm speaking about. All my ST182 Celicas were powered by the 2.0 3S-GE engine - and I believe that anything smaller wouldn't be up to the job. It is ...

Pros: Looks nice, reliability, handling

Cons: acceleration (ST 1.6 liter), back seats

The Bottom Line: Excellent first car and pretty reliable.

Review: I got this car as my first car. i bought it from some guetto dealership in wheeling that didn't give me any help trying to sell me the car. I actually found it as I was leaving the dealership after MANY pathetic tests from other toyotas and hondas, I saw ...

Pros: Quiet Interior

Cons: The wheels are to low

Review: The Toyota Celica's bulbous shape makes a distinctive design statement. The Celica's gently rounded, almost pudgy look speaks volumes to people who said the Toyota styling was as bland as a saucer of egg whites. But when the Toyota stylists redrew the...
