I fell instantly in love with my little dark green 73 Celica the first time I saw it!! I gave it four stars due to lack of power steering and it had a little quirk of stalling whenever I made a hard left hand turn LOL but otherwise it was everything a young girl needed!! The racing stripe, the rubber bumpers, power brakes, a/c, black leather bucket seats, the whole shebang! Background story: My Dad traded cars allll the time. So one day he left in the family car, a long white Cadillac, and later that day he came into the house saying, Come look at what happened to the Caddy on my way home! I got stuck between two semis! Thinking wed see a squashed Cadillac, imagine our surprise when we saw that little Celica and I just HAD to have it! Two years later, it was mine as my graduation present. A few years later got married and then we had a baby. Sadly, I had to sell it, it was too small for our needs. I saw Barney (that was what I named the car, not our son LOL) zipping around for years and then sometime in the late 90s, no longer saw it. What a GREAT little car...thanks for the memories, ol Barney! I loved you!

I have owned my Celica GT4 for many years and it has always brought me joy. Its one of the legendary cars made by Toyota that very few have seen. Its styling is beautiful and powerful at the same time and it has every option and then some. Toyota spared no expense when they made these. The car first and foremost is a road going rally car. It was not built or designed like a 4 door corolla or a Camry, so do not expect the same thing. It wasnt built to drive to the grocery store on sunday, it was built to be driven like a performance car and maintained as such. You dont buy a Corvette to drive to your job as a bathroom fixture salesman and then expect to pay for Chevy Aveo maintenance. This car should also not be compared to camry, corolla and tercel alltracs. They are utilitarian cars and as i said before this is a sports car.

The Celica is a true Toyota classic. Produced from 1970 to 2005, it was much beloved by owners.
The Toyota Celica was designed to appeal to consumers who wanted a good, dependable Japanese car but who also wanted something a little more exciting than the typical Japanese compact sedan. It was available as a notchback, hatchback, and convertible at various points in its lifespan.
The Celica is popular for racing, particularly rally racing. The earlier models are especially popular due to their rear-wheel drive. The Celica also won numerous awards and honors throughout its lifetime, including Consumer Reports' 2002 “Most Reliable Sporty Car.“
In 1979, Toyota introduced the Toyota Celica Supra, a high performance version. However, by 1986 the Supra had become a separate model.
The Celica was discontinued after the 2005 model year, due to slow sales and increased competition. The Scion tC is its successor.
