What Owners are Saying About the 1997 Toyota Celica
""BEST CAR ON THE ROAD". Scotty Kilmer"
"I bought a used '94 Celica ST on Craigslist for $600.00 with over 336,000 on it. I am still driving it and fully restored it. I will NEVER sell my 94 Celica. If anything, I will buy another one. This is the BEST Car Toyota ever produced in my opinion. Runs like a "CLOCK"!"
"fun car to drive"
"This is the most reliable and fun car I have ever owned. I just got back from Blue Ridge Parkway. This one is stick so I can pull a small camper. Only problem I've had other than regular consumables is the hose flange on the thermostat broke because someone over tighten the hoze clamp. Always lower the back windows when putting up the top or you can break the window rollers. That's it."
"I love this car"
"I bought my 1995 Celica new and this little car has never let me down. I get over 40mpg and it has plenty of get up and go. It corners like an expensive sports car and I have never had any repair except for routine maint. Most of all I feel safe in her on city or highway, it handles so good and looks good body has held up amazingly well for a 15 year old car would recommend this car to anyone"
