Bad Points
A bit low when trying to park, hard to see the white lines, [but easy when reverse parking] .Arthritic friends find it hard getting in and out of the back. Probably not the best for a family but plenty of room for the dog.Otherwise no bad points!!
General Comments
The Toyota Celica 1.8 VVTI is a dream to drive. It handles well, grips the roads when cornering and purrs along happily whatever speed I'm travelling. interior well designed and cockpit controls well laid out. Pedals close to the floor which means your foot glides easily from pedal to pedal without much effort leading to smooth use of brake or clutch. MPG good. A car that still turns heads 8 years after I bought it. Very comfortable on long journeys. Surprisingly roomy with good boot space. With the back seats laid down it passes the 'plank of wood test'if a trip to the DIY store is needed. Back seats comfy and will accomadate 2 adults in reasonable comfort.
A cool car. It feels good to drive . Handles well . Very reliable and not a smidgin of rust after 8 years.
