2001 Toyota Celica VVT-i review from Malta
"Brilliant!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing that was the car's fault. However after an oil and filter change (filter was not original Toyota part) oil leaked out in large amounts. Lesson - only use genuine Toyota parts!
General comments?
The Celica has excellent ride and handling.
Performance for the 140bhp model is decent, but torque is lacking.
Economy is quite good with over 30mpg in everyday use.
The coupe shape is both striking and surprisingly practical with good interior and boot space.
