Old Top Gear 1999 - Toyota Celica

[@SpreadEagleRL]

I do not know why I bought this car..But now 17 years later I know!! Still runs great and it still looks awesome. I do love and enjoy this 2000 CELICA every day.

[@Dobermann.Kennel]

SpreadEagleRL me too!

[@zainkhanburki]

I have a Celica too and it’s the best car I’ve bought

[@philboytano]

My celica is 20yrs old now and still running strong! Super easy to maintain and fix one of the best reliable cars toyota ever made.

[@davidlawand2805]

my 33 year old celica was abandoned for 3 years and i just got it not too long ago xD this is gonna be a biiiiig job

Did you hear the one about a black man called Snow?

[@hilmicooper840]

In 2018. This car still look awesome.

[@xiphosura413]

I agree, see a few of them around, and I love em

[@KaladinVegapunk]

Haha I have the 96, it's got debit 250,000 miles and still runs great I like this color better then mine and it's definitely more sporty I just tried to find a video of clarkson ripping on it so this was surprising haha

[@KaladinVegapunk]

.. I am 30 and look young so I guess I'm the market hahaha

[@spongegaming5]

Hell no these cars are ugly

[@captainjosue]

I bought a Celica 7th gen not looking for a car in 2005. Thought it was cool when I saw it but had no intention to buy it. Took it for a test drive and now today in 2023 still driving that same car I bought in 2005. Most reliable car ever. Easy to maintain and still looks amazing!!!! Love this car.

[@jamydeedhillon1309]

I have a 2002 model fully loaded. Big exhaust. Pops and bangs looks awesome now in 2020 and its in very good order and admired by many young and old always feel proud getting in and out of it love my gen 7 celica 😎

[@majhoek1579]

What exhaust mods did you do?

[@staggabob]

Flabby? The 6th gen was gorgeous! Straight off the cover of Sega Rally, that's why I bought one :D (Also because they were much cheaper than Lancia Delta Integrales)

[@797gaming]

Hell yeah. Sega Rally FTW

[@ilya3379]

I mean, the standard non GT-4 Celica was pretty ugly/fat

[@sunindjectorslab2168]

@@ilya3379 especially headlights were ugly, then T230 came there and compensated that with great japanese design

[@irishman6124]

I bought one myself a few months ago for a second car. Their stunning looking after 20 years and catch people's eyes. It's very small inside I'm 6ft2 and I feel to tall for the celica. Pity the seat won't slide back further lol

[@michaelmcpoet1]

I've recently bought one. So attractive to look at and a very enjoyable drive.

[@k-mvlogs7529]

I just got 1 2003 model it's surprisingly good on fuel and nippy around the city

[@eaklesd4743]

How rough is the insurance?

[@v8_sami]

Gts?

[@hotwheelshuntinguk]

@@eaklesd4743it’s bang average, since it sits in the middle of the insurance group ladder nowadays (which honestly, it should be much lower than it is)

[@castironbandito]

It's certainly no Mercury Cougar, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Fiat Coupe or Alfa Romeo GTV, but is still a decent car and great alternative for anyone who can't afford to by a Toyota GT 86. Although, it's a terrible shame that this generation of the Celica doesn't have a GT-Four model.

[@TheRealSkeletor]

You're right, it's better than all of those.

[@sportzpickz]

The chassis has aged well

[@DigitalMan1100]

Cd player coming as standard.. priceless

[@xv750nz]

Built in CD player yeah boi

[@philboytano]

i still have a 2000 GT 145k miles and still running strong. Bone stock engine.

[@samcharles1166]

and now?

[@hotwheelshuntinguk]

I love these cars. I’m so happy to own one.

[@leftybender9125]

I just can't get over the fact that toyota never made an awd gt4 version of this car

[@MrEMVme]

because it was a flop. They left the respect with the prior 3 generations.

[@37Retro]

I have had a few cars over the years, Gen 6 Celica, MK4 Toyota Supra, Type R Civic FN2 but the Gen 7 190 will always be the best all rounder of those. Great engine that loved to rev, looked great if you had the GT spoiler, skirts and an after market front bumper. Unfortunately and this is extremely common on these cars now, they love to rust. If you are looking to buy one do an MOT history check as a first step. If they have any mention of sub frames being corroded or the same for break pipes then I would advise moving on. I'd still love to get another but most of them are sadly rot boxes now and if they have been undersealed then you worry what they are hiding, shame as it is a great car.

[@UnitiveWILLIAM24]

Wow this was only the 1zz 140hp model? Yeah, shouldve waited for the gts

[@crazyirishdan]

Really? WHO in DAFUQ was begging for an even tighter spread on the C60?

[@metalmedic5031]

Never seen one these with built in SatNav :/

[@morrowmorrow4811]

Without the spoiler this car really does look odd. Glad mine has one.

[@rickewilde]

She's right I'm 40 something but look 20 something hahaha and I got one 😁

Got one yesterday. It is a 2001 toyota celica. I'll update if I ever remember this comment in the future on how it's doing.

[@kal558]

How's it doing?

[@feebypeels2883]

My 04 Celica is about to hit 219k miles.

[@user-it2gx4cr1k]

Now we have the amazing, the perfect, the spectacular Toyota GT86

[@NJTCOMET]

3:40 Those are the door opening and closing sound effects from Grand Theft Auto 3. Exact same sounds.

[@scoob7306]

Wtf yh you're right

[@sharpfalcon6196]

Not really the same: The closest matches are: 993-generation Porsche 911 (open) and a BMW 3-Series (close). But they do sound similar, that's one thing.

[@14energy]

Prodigy playing in the background

[@RICHIEST1996]

Gen 6 and gen 1 were the best looking, rest were OK in my opinion

[@alexanderjamesreed935]

Should have reviewed the 190 - way faster.

[@SpartanQwop]

Like a second faster. Not that much difference.

[@alexanderjamesreed935]

If you actually drive both, you can feel a huge difference. Its more than a second as in reality the t sport does it in about 6.5 seconds, if you hit lift from gear to gear.

[@SpartanQwop]

@@alexanderjamesreed935 Debatable. I actually own the vvti model and have gone head to head against a T sport, and really, getting from 0-60. Not much difference, again you have to hit over 6k Revs for the lift to kick in, and by that time, sure the T sport is great. But there isn't an outstanding difference - plus the vvti model is lightweight, engine kicks in between 5/6k revs and with a few adjustments to the car such as shedding some weight (like the backseats) and adding an air filter it can easily go from 0-60 in 6/7 seconds.

[@alexanderjamesreed935]

@@SpartanQwop Agreed - you have to hit lift in order to feel any difference whatsoever. However once you do, there is no competition. If you can then hit lift from first to second, a standard 140 is dust. It is tricky to hit lift from first to second admittedly - and with some newer t sports the rev limit is lower so you can't do this - but i would avoid these models personally. This was done in 1999 though - and the older models all kick in at 6000rpm and rev all the way up to 8250, enabling you to go from lift back into lift.

[@TheRealSkeletor]

@@alexanderjamesreed935 Lift kicks in at 6200rpm.

[@teme5529]

T-Sport Celica owner here. It is a good car overall. While others shift up @6200 rpm, T-Sport has a surprise waiting for you. Do you even "lift" bro?

[@SausageWardog]

God how fit was vicky back then!! About the car, I say 350z and GTR ripped off celica headlights

[@ur_cowboy]

Cell-ee-ka ?

[@miljororforsprakpartiet290]

That's the correct pronounciation of it, although it sounds rather weird

[@SamFBM]

yup a celica, the ca is a ka

[@misamisatv]

"Correct" pronunciation is debatable. Think about how the Japanese would pronounce it and then you've got the original way of saying it.

[@evaristdennis1987]

Neg Ative May I ask why it killed the celica? I only ask because the car was designed for a different purpose than any of the older generations.

[@coloneljaffa]

Completely agree, tfo of her Neg

[@misamisatv]

In general the 6th gen didn't have the reliability compared to the 7th gen. That's why seeing the 6th gen around is so rare nowadays.

[@isaiahgrimm2810]

7th gen will go for 270k miles ... that's pretty good if you ask me .. still faster than most civics too. I have the 2002 gt 5spd TRD and still beat civics and older Lexus's

[@DAGATHire]

Personally i think this car aged badly. Just me tho' but these days it looks like a childs toy car. Great starter car for wannabe girl racers.

[@CG-wr6mo]

DAGATHire couldn't agree more, I thought that the previous gen was way better looking, this one looks like it's stuck in a early 2000s disco.

[@DAGATHire]

indeed spot on. and the previous cars were brutish masculine and beefy. WRC champions etc. this thing belonged in a hot wheels box.

[@TheUltimateToad]

Shame you're wrong

[@xiphosura413]

I personally think it's the only one to have aged well, but then again 'wannabe girl racer' is probably accurate to me to some degree :P
