Nope, Scotty called the 1999 to 2006 Celica crap because of its bad Yamaha engine design. He's said the same thing in other videos in the past. Just because a particular model of a car has the same name doesn't mean it has the same quality and longevity as an earlier car with that name. Sooooo.... Toyota's not "bringing back the Celica/Supra" these days: they're just launching totally different cars with the same names. And as Scotty just admitted yesterday: the 1996 Acura Integra is EVEN BETTER than the '94 Celica. That vid made me feel so good I drove my 97 Integra with 245K on the clock to work today.

[@garethbattersby]

I had a 2000 VVTI model and had it for about 12 years, didn't miss a beat, eventually traded it in at 186k miles for a 2004 VVTI celica with little to no miles on it and one owner from New. The only time I've heard about these engines failing is when people have modified them and driven them hard, or just not maintained them at all.

These engines had a couple of small issues (lift bolts, which is a very easy fix and was resolved in 2003) and the oil pan issue you mentioned (that is also easy to fix with a 1ZZ oil pan or a good aftermarket one for aggressive track racing), but otherwise they are excellent and have held up very well. Oil pump failures have happened to these pretty much exclusively because of driver error, dropping down into the wrong gear. My 2003 Celica GT-S has a 2ZZ-GE with 355,000 km on it. It is flawless. No leaks, works like new.

[@StallionFernando]

Lucky you, my 02 was gone at 120k, on my second engine and drive it around 2 hrs almost daily. Hopefully it continues to hold up since it's a nice fun car to drive, specially with that 6 speed. I'll have to get myself one of those oil pans.

She is driven hard ever since I bought her, and has not broken down even once, never left me stranded. The horror stories about this car, were often caused by people miss shifting, because of the close gate 6 speed, where you accidentally shift from top of 3th back to second instead of 4th, and you guessed it, boom. Drive it everyday, change oil every 3000 miles, and it will last you. Take care Scotty.

The 2zzge can drive the oil pump to the point it cant suck oil fast enough. There are aftermarket gearsets and/or oil pumps to fix it, so.... Fix that and they work fine.

[@anunknowndude]

The oil pump has no problems at all. The thing is the 2zz engine may suffer from oil starvation when it passes 1g side force, to solve this you need a baffled oil sump, like a Morosso or one from Eliseparts. Doing this change, the oil pump will just run happily forever

[@ColinH1973]

@@anunknowndude Thanks for the tip. 👍

[@brinho109]

The problem with these 2zzge engines was insufficient oil capacity and oil pans with no baffling. Both could be solved with an aftermarket oil pan. These things also commonly get destroyed by miss shifting at high rpms. Otherwise they are pretty reliable as long as they are cared for.

Both were bought brand new from the dealer. Both got the same support from the dealer (they tell me “they all do that.”). Finally bought a 2016 F-150 and it is a truly incredible truck.

Toyota/Yamaha joint ventures have delivered great results, from the original Toyota 2000GT, to my current dream car, the Lexus LFA.. And of course, everyone's favorite, the Legendary 2JZ..... But, the 2ZZ was apparently not one of their best efforts, it was unreliable, and it wasn't even very good performance either! The cam came on so late, even if you shifted at redline it fell off the lift powerband. At least on the US spec Celicas I drove.. An old friends Elise did the same.

We drove that Celica through the whole europe during holidays and the following car for the trip (Opel Meriva 1.3cdti) (Italian jtd-M engine) had a alternator failure half the trip.

[@garethbattersby]

I'm on my second 7 gen Celica at the moment, the reason I'm on a 2nd? Because the first one was so good. I had a 2000 VVTI model (the 140bhp without the lift) it was fast enough for the roads and handled fantastically and on country roads could easily keep up with more powerful stuff thanks to the cornering. The only reason I let it go was it was on 186k miles and I found a one owner 2004 model with little to no miles on it going cheap. My local mechanic actually bought my old celica from me once he heard I had a new one. My tip to you is go take a look at a few, don't touch anything that's had engine mods, because any ape could have fitted them, and go for a VVTI model, cheaper to insure, run and maintain because it doesn't have the complicated lift system. And try and go for a facelift 2002 or newer, they did a lot of improvements to the engine, fixing a lot of the stuff mentioned in this video. Lastly enjoy your celica when you get one

[@Nippernator]

The problems explained in this video were with the models up to 2002, Toyota then revised the design and dropped the rpm limiter and switched the point at which lift kicks in. They also revised the engine oil delivery system meaning that there were no oil starving issues. Proof of this is how many celicas have survived until today. Mine for example is an 03 with 167k miles on it. Original engine and only minor maintenance over the 6 years I've owned it. I admit I don't use the cheapest fuel but that's normal for anyone who respects their cars. Celicas were and still are bulletproof cars.

[@peterjacobson8016]

love the content. I owned a 1995 Celica with the 1.8 engine and a 5 speed and loved it. In fact, I'd have to say I beat the heck out of that thing and it never failed. I sold it with 230K on it and it still ran great but for the a/c not working. I have to ask though, about Mazdas. I do not disagree about the wisdom of avoiding rotary engines (though they are a lot of revvy fun) and heat exchange and direct injection engines, for maintenance reasons. I have owned a couple of Mazdas that had what we might call a normal 4 cylinder engine and a manual transmission and they seemed basically bulletproof. One was a 1992 B2200 pickup that routinely carried more weight than it was supposed to and didn't even get proper maintenace (I was young and stupid and didn't even know I was supposed to regularly change the oil). The other is my current car: a 2007 Mazda 3 with about 130K on it. I've never had problem 1, and it drives better than anything in the same price range, especially on twisty roads. I don't disagree about the rotaries or other stuff, but do you think a Mazda with a relatively "normal" 4 cylinder + 5 speed manual is a bad choice? Because I have to say they're more fun to drive than most competitors and just as reliable.
