2000 Toyota Celica GT review from North America
"More class than performance.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seats have a strange discolouring when they get wet that is hard to get rid of.
Interior plastic is VERY easily scratched.
Engine is pretty loud.
Car is sluggish, with poor acceleration until the RPM's are screaming.
General comments?
I found the car to be quite slow and unresponsive until you reach about 3-3.5Rpm. Even with a CAI, the car is still sluggish, and very difficult to find decent after market performance parts for. This vehicle is more about the looks and class than performance, I am currently trading it in for a Mitsubishi Eclipse because the Eclipse is certainly more of a performance oriented vehicle.
