2000 Toyota Celica GT-S review from North America
"A high-performing bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None, though the passenger's side door panel rattles if I turn the bass up on the stereo.
General comments?
This car is amazing value for money. I do not know why anyone would go and buy anything else that is in its price range and class. It is comfortable, has a nice interior/great stereo, good performance, great handling and braking, and still cost me US$22,960 fully equipped with every option (including leather).
I test drove every other car in its class (Prelude, Integra GS-R, Golf VR-6, Eclipse GT), and I bought the Celica 3 days after I test drove it (it was my last test drive).
It does have poor rear visibility though, but I am used to it because I owned a Corrado before.
