2001 Toyota Celica consumer reviews

This was my first car I bought by myself with no help. My car is also the celica GT-S. It is slow and just sickening. It is reliable since the model is 2001, and it is 2017, but when you push on the gas to go, it is like you push down and it goes slow as a turtle. The car is uncomfortable and too tight, and it is an inconvenience. The car also does not run on regular gas, it runs on Premium gas, and that can get expensive considering it wastes so much gas if you even drive it a few miles.

I loved my Toyota Celica GT, It was fun to drive and was so stylish that it would turn many heads!! It had a lot of bells and whistles and a moonroof. I had over 150K on it when i was rear ended and forced to give it up.

I bought this car new in 2001 and still own it without having 210,000 miles on it all original still running great I have the hatchback which you can load a surprising amount of stuff in so you can really use this card for moving boxes and bringing things back home from the hardware store and system excellent car keeps on running and is an excellent excellent design.

I really loved my Celica, but every time I replaced a part a different one broke. It was lots of fun to drive, handled extremely well, was great on gas, and looked great. Only reason I took a point off the comfort level is I'm 6'4", and this is not a car designed for tall people. Shorter friends and family loved driving it, and the seats are actually very comfortable even at long distances. From what I've heard, I just got a lemon, as most of the problems I had were uncommon. As long as you have the vehicle checked by a mechanic you trust before you purchase it, I would recommend the car.

Great on gas and to fast to pass! The toyota celica is the most reliable car to drive and it is very dependable. You can easily over 300,000 miles on that car without having a problem. If you drive stick shift I highly recommend getting this car.

You will never get this much car for that little money. Never had any major problems with it, it is basically a sexy looking Corolla

I've owned my Toyota Celica GTS for one year now and I must say I love this car. The gas milage is excellent the power delivery is outstanding. The power is there when I need it. This is my first car and I've driven other manual cars like honda civics, honda accords, and my mother's nissan sentra (manual) and the clutch on my Celica feels just right. It is smooth and shifts great. Truly recommend to anybody.

This car has its ups and downs. The only reason you should not purchase a GT model is because after 100k miles on a GT model the car starts to burn oil fast. Regular oil burns at 1500 miles synthetic only lasts 1700-1800 after you get an oil change. Averagely for me however and I barely drive the car around. The longer you drive the car in a day the faster the oil will burn. The GTS model (2ZZ) does not burn any oil to begin with. I didn't know this problem existed but all celicas from 2000-2003 have this problem that are a GT sub model. Unless you're using this car for a project car go ahead but otherwise don't buy it. Everything else about the car is fine I wish it had better performance though and driving in the snow is really hard to do with this car. Interior is alright I keep it looking brand new everyday so that doesn't bother me. It should be considered to be a 2-3 seater every time I have 2 other friends riding with me I make one of them lay in the back since there isn't enough room in the back.

My Celica GTS 2001 was rear-ended last weekend and is totaled. But the safety of the car is evident, I and my passenger were uninjured even though we were hit by a much larger vehicle (Chevy Tahoe) going at least 25 mph faster than we were. I owned this car for 10 years. The reason I wanted to write a review though is despite the age (13 years) of the car the payoff is almost $9000. Now this car had almost every option (but 6 spd manual) offered and was very low mileage (79K) but that is much higher than any blue book. I bought it used as a good deal, low mileage, $16K in 2003 and it has cost me $700 per year to own! Beat that anywhere?? Still has original brakes, handles like a dream, I did have one repair - replace the clutch, and I've never worn out a clutch before so I think that's the prior owner maybe...otherwise it looked and ran like the day it was born. At any rate, if you can find one in good shape buy it. You won't be sorry. So much fun, cheap to run, and versatile (you can put a TON of stuff in it if you fold the seats forward).

i have had this car in the past and it honestly brought me some problems. I guess the car is nice looking, but its not a wow car. My opinion is that this car is not all that great, take it from someone who has had it already.
