2000 Toyota Celica GTS review from North America
"Peppy and fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I guess I have a few complaints since leasing this car. Primarily the field of vision out the rear window is somewhat limited, especially if you have the rear spoiler. Living in the Northeast I have had some tire problems in the cold weather. The Yokohama 16 inch tires have gone flat on me a few times. This really annoyed me.
I have also noticed wind noise coming from the driver's side window. This is nothing huge but is annoying.
I am pretty surprised that Toyota also did not install a telescopic antenna on this badboy. It is really annoying to have to take off the antenna every time you go through a carwash.
My last complaint is about the gas tank. What were they thinking? Pathetic.
General comments?
In general the car is fun to drive but I am not going to re-lease the Celica. Toyota could have refined this car a little bit more. You are probably better off with a Prelude in this class.
