2000 Toyota Celica 1.8vvti review from UK and Ireland
"Probably the best value coupe on the market"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tailgate struts didn't support tailgate - replaced under warranty, and now fine.
Everything else 100%
General comments?
A head-turning car, especially with the "Premium and Sport Pack", which includes 17 inch alloys, leather interior and rear spoiler.
I love the climate control air con, and also use the electric sun roof frequently.
Performance is good, rather than great, as the engine needs to be thrashed to get the best out of it, and it is not the smoothest of units. Handling, however, is superb. The car rides very comfortably at low speeds, but is still secure when pressing on.
I think the interior looks great, though the plastics used in the dashboard and door trim are not very tough and scratch easily.
The standard Sony Disc/Tape/Radio is a fiddle to use, but works superbly.
