Nice looking, fast, reliable, economical, nice and low.
Bad Points
A rear wheel version would have been good.
General Comments
After being financial crippled by my rx8, the Toyota Celica was a breath of fresh air. After 6k rpm the power is comparble with the 231bhp rx8; unlike the rx8 there are no annoying rattles. It has an almost van like reliability feel to it but that's not a bad thing when your able to strip the centre console down for some tinkering. It's discreet enough to remain unkeyed in the carpark. Mine does about 29mpg with mixed driving. Because of the weight you can really make it slide with the handbrake and with a heavy foot t/c on or off you can spin all over the place; or take it easy wearing a flat cap with perforated suade driving gloves whilst smoking a pipe.
