Good Points

You will fall in love with this car as soon as you drive it!!


Bad Points

Typical Toyota interior. Cheap plastics that rattle and creak everytime you drive over the smallest bump.

Having to service the car every 3000 miles (turbo kills engine oil)!!!


General Comments

The Toyota Celica GT-Four is a rally bred monster that is quite capable of blasting down the road at 150mph but is also easy to drive to and from the shops (my girlfriend has even had a go).

The car is quite understated (even with the high wing) but still looks very different to the boring, boxy scooby's and evo's. Although access to the rear seats is not the easiest, room in the cabin is still quite good. Forget about the boot though. Due to the rear diff and a rear strut brace, you'll be lucky to get a box of golf balls in, let alone a set of clubs!!

The thing with this car is, it was never built to be a family car, it was meant to be the fastest car down a gravel track with some of the greatest drivers behind the wheel. Fortuantely, even with 255bhp (on the Jap spec WRC) on tap, the car is quite easy to control. Don't try to get too silly in the wet and you'll be ok!!

The GT-Four is a fantastic car. It's not as technological as an evo or even a scooby but it's just as quick and fun and the insurance is likely to be less. But the best thing about being a GT-Four owner is very rarely seeing another on the road with you! I own a Jap spec WRC version and only 2500 were ever built worldwide and Toyota only ever built 10,000 of the standard GT-Four. To put that into perspective, Ford sell more than 10,000 Focus's every month!
