2001 Toyota Celica GT review from North America
"A great looking and economical sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No major problems.
Minor interior noises.
Sluggish until the second cam profile.
Cloth seats are very delicate.
Air conditioning vents are difficult to manipulate to the desired, comfortable position.
General comments?
Even though it's not as fast as a GT-S, the GT is quick and nimble.
The Celica has very great handling.
No large after-market support yet.
Great looking car. I get so many positive comments at car shows and from the ladies.
The orange dash display can get annoying.
The double din setup for the CD player/radio is not my favorite type.
