I used to have a Toyota Celica like yours. Bought it brand new back in October 2000. Had it until March 2006 when a bus crashed into it and it was written off. Still have fond memories of it.
I had one of these cars back in 2003 and I fell so in love with it. I got a lot of compliments in it as well. I miss it.
Just got my celica today as my graduation present from my family 👌🏼🙌🏼
That is so cool!! Congratulations to both!! You'll love the car!
+The Celica Guy Thanks 😁
I'm trying to get one too. Congrats
Lucky wish my parents would’ve given me a car for graduation a couple years ago. All I got was $500 and a congrats kid if you wanna go to college you gotta pay yourself
@@steven8375 that's $500 more than a lot of grads got.
Seems modern for a 2000's car
Nice video! I'm getting one of these as my first car. Your video helped me get some answers about this kind of car. Thanks for making this video. 😎
Thank you for sharing, these cars were unique and fun! Come on Toyota 2020 Celica???
That would be great, but too bad I can only afford a 7th gen, LOL.
I'm still have happy with my 00 celica GT-S
Nice review, and its nice to see another proud Celica owner. Keep up the good work
Hey thank you so much!
Thanks man, great Celica review, best I've seen so far. I'm thinking of buying the GTS version... :)
Thank you so much! I've been in one before but never driven one, but if it's better than the GT, it has to be awesome haha
i have a 2001 celica gt, saw it for $1200 I could NOT turn that down esp. @149k miles... forced me to learn stick and I have not regretted since! I hate driving through hills though..
Japheth Jagolina what’s wrong when driving through hills
Cesar Bilades manual transmissions are hard to operate on hills
Cesar Bilades manual transmissions are hard to operate on hills
I got a 2003 celica gt and it drives great at 150000 miles on it, only issue is a sensor on the engine goes on and off but nothing that is actually a problem. paid only 2800 for it and never regretted it.
Check Engine Light is only a problem if you're in California (smog test required every 2 years). It usually indicates something askew with the emissions system.
nice review. i bought a celica yesterday .great styling and drives really well. in the uk we have the 6speed manual as standard. nice gearbox. found your vids whilst checking out celica stuff. keep em coming. vvti 140 up till 2002 has high oil consumption problems so just keep an eye on the dipstick. dont wait until oil light flashes,its too late then. mines a 2001 so il be checking oil frequently.
Yeah, my car burns oil pretty bad. I'll be making a video about it very soon :p
Enjoy the new ride!!
its a known fault with the cars built up until 2001 .not a major issue if you keep on top of it. regular oil changes and weekly top ups. cars after 2001 should have no issues. it doesnt worry me too much tho. thanks
Upshift Unlimited when are you getting a gts lol
I had a carbon blue 2002 GT. Lots of fun. Running good at 145k miles. I’ll get another
That's a clean car to start from. Got mine like this. Looks insane now! Lot of aftermart products for it online.
Awesome Awesome So Yeah I just got a 2001 Toyota Celica Gt I am getting actually and I am getting this Beautiful Car for 2500 bucks and from watching your Video not only am I doing what ever it takes to get it :)
perfect review, thinking about grabbing one
Thank you, and go for it!
Nice car. My daily driver is a used 2015 Toyota Camry XSE ( 4 cylinder engine & 6 speed automatic with manual shift ability and paddle shifters ), I got it in 2018. It’s technically my parents car but I make insurance payments and I keep it maintained. The 4 cylinder with the 6speed automatic is pretty zippy especially if you use the manual shift mode, it has a roomy interior and the trunk fits everything I currently have in it, my tools, fishing pole and tackle box, and a few other things, and it’s got folded if rear seats. The Camry I drive is great for what it is, just what I need in a car for right now, a typical used Camry for daily driving.
is that security thing thats sticking out in dash needed? and if theres any buttons on the left steering wheel what're they for
It's a fun car to drive
I remember trying to shop one of these, they hold their prices well. Most of the people selling them had high miles, no maintenance records, nothing replaced but wanted alot for them. I end up settling for a miata. I tried looking again for a 2nd car, same story again..... ended up getting a mk3 golf. Maybe one day I can this or a mk2 supra.
You got some good alternatives instead though! I wish you luck in your future car purchases haha
Great review! Enjoy the car!
Hey thank you! And I surely am!!
Thanks for the review it was good
where are you buy the aluminum celica logo in back ?
Very freindly cars to drive..i love them
sure u can test it.
Record your miles on Trip A or B and when u fill up again, divide miles by # of gallons of gas.
The odometer resets itself every time I turn off the car and when I start it back up it's at a random number :( it's really weird! Otherwise I'd do exactly like you said haha
Enjoy your videos I also have a celica, and ideas from you, mitch,rafas garage and 2zzlow make car is looking sik.
Saw a 2000 GTS Celica for $3,595, however it has 172k miles in it. Is that a good offer or no?
Cool car. In great condition and looks fast.
I like the body style, I have an AutoArt 1:18 model of this car. I would like to own one with a manual, a fun sorta car that I can learn and get better at driving a manual in.
Just got my 02 celica gt yesterday 5speed love it...
Still got it?
@@abel3619 someone wants to trade it for a bike I have. What do you think its worth?
Could you fit 186cm/ 74 inch skis in celica?
Do you think a 1.97m guy can fit good in a Celica?
Great review:)
Thank you!
Hey. I have a question: Do you need to stick your key in to get in? Or do you have a remote? I'm just curious because I have the exact same model as you (but Black) and I have to stick my key in to get in. Would be nice if I can just install keyless entry or something.
Nice car though!
Hey! I did have to stick my key into the handle up until a few weeks ago actually, when I realized that the key fob that I got with the car from the last owner still actually worked. However, it's an aftermarket fob, so it's weird haha. But I do use the fob now all the time which makes life much easier! Highly recommend you get an aftermarket transmitter, it's a big help! And thank you!! Best of luck!
My first car is a 02 celica GT. I love it. Actually just got it about 4 months ago. Fun little car to drive.
you still have it? how’s it holding up
@@awful999 I actually crashed it 😭 I rear ended someone and it was totaled. I was more upset about the car than anything. It was free, no car payment, 20 years old, with only 47,000 miles. Not to mention I just had gotten 4 new tires, new tinting, and a paint job. I'm so disappointed in myself and always will be. 😔
@@awful999 In terms of how it held up before I killed it, it was great. Great gas mileage and no engine problems. Awesome car. If I could find another I would totally get one again. RIP Silver Bullet 💔
@@asmrsleep3079 I absolutely feel the disappointment. I started driving not too long ago and crashed my dad's Mercedes, totalled, the front was pretty much ripped off. Easily one of the worst days in my life.
These cars are fantastic fun in the really tight twisties because of their very low weight and very low centre of gravity.
Hey man, great video especially since I'm considering picking up a celica myself. I just had one question, what is that pioneer head unit that you have in the car? because the radio/sound system is one of the first things I will most likely upgrade. Also, are there any affordable modifications that can strengthen performance that you recommend? Thank you very much. Great video btw
Hey thank you so much!
Funny you ask that, I'm planning on making a review for my pioneer head unit very soon actually! Anyway, it's a double din FH-X700BT head unit. Check online for that model, or stores like Best Buy have the updated version! (Although I like my model the best :P)
As for other modifications, I honestly haven't done that many for performance. Most of the changes I've made are purely cosmetic. Hopefully if the channel starts to grow I can do some real performance upgrades.
Thanks for your questions, and good luck with your car purchase!
I kept the stock radio since I like CDs and tapes, and I have a cassette tape adapter for my iPod/phone.
Great video. I just got a white version of this 2000 model Celica GT from my Uncle. I love how well it runs. Though i wish it was dark color like yours. Its a pain worrying about dirt on mines.
excellent walk about...thinking of getting a 2001 GTS 6 spd w/130k for $3500. after watching this I feel like I already saw the car in person. will help greatly when i sit in and test drive. thanks...straight up and to the point video.
You know of a good kill switch for this model?
Jeff Porcaro Groove glad I could help out! The GT-Ss are pretty good, just keep an eye out for rust, as with any old car! No real major issues I can think of honestly. Best of luck!
found out the front bumper is damaged...ever use a body kit for this car? Ebay has an OEM that is painted for $250ish but that back bumper is really faded as well. I can't pay $3500 for that and there are only 3 in the LA area to look at. How about parts?
Jeff Porcaro Groove I don't have a body kit on mine but I know that there are lots of different styles all over the Internet. I'd see if you can haggle the price down a bit, and use that extra money for both bumpers or a full kit.
There are some GREAT reviews on YT by Mitch Dore & also some others.
GTS is a great car. One of the best FWDers out there, which is important if you live where Winters are bad. Did you get it?
Gotta love those vintage Rhode Island pothole -ridden roads :P
They're terrible hahah
What's the difference between the GT and GTS?
Nice vid. But over there in the USA you are differently short changed when it come to your Celica. Here in the UK we only get 6 speed manual, no drum brakes and no 15" wheels. I notice the US car are also down on power. Here my vvtli is 192bhp in the states 180bhp. I wonder why that is? Not having a dig just think it's a shame for you guys.
Carbon blue! I have exact same
Great car love them.Thumbs up.
yo! i am 18 and i have my drivers license for about a month now, and i have been looking at a few cars.
do you think that on a low budget for around 4000 i can get a car like this?
and is it worth it? do you have any other recommendations?
thanks!
Be patient and make sure it's the right buy, but there are definitely Celicas out there in that price range. I think it's definitely worth it, try to get a GT-S 6 speed! Good luck!
Is it hard to find one these
Any issues to look out for??
My celica has this color, but it was chipping and scratched, so it got a new black repaint.
May i ask what model your pioneer radio thing is im looking to replace mine
Mm one is a Pioneer X700BT, it's great! They might have updated their model line a bit since I purchased it.
The redline on the gts is at 8,000 rpm
Would you say a 2000 Toyota celica is a bust for $750?
220k mi and no issues at all other then fender and hood damage and no AC...?
I’m looking at this one and hope to get it if it’s decent
Not bad did you get it?
Very nice car I bought one last G t
Nice review bro. I actually thought you had an exhaust on your Celi lol I have an 04 solar yellow GTS and I love that car. I'm never gonna sell it.
Nope, no exhaust but I wish! And the yellow ones are so cool! I don't know if I've ever seen one in person, ALL the ones I see are silver!
+The Celica Guy yeah apparently the solar yellow Celis are the rarest of the rare and mine has OEM HIDs too lol
+red88alert oh man! I'm jealous! Hahah I've thought about getting an HID kit for mine, or just new headlights all together haha
+The Celica Guy if you can drop the money on them and are lucky enough to find some for sale...you should get some OEM hids lol
+red88alert I'll keep an eye out for them, thanks!!
* opens the hood and reads the labels * great video HAHAHAHAHAHHA
This car is my favorite in Toyota I don't know why they stop making I want to see celica new model looks like in 2021
Does your insurance company list it as a sports car? I'm considering a Celica but I cannot afford a sports car insurance premium
Liam O. DID YOU FIND OUT
Liam O. Ask in the more recent video, it will more likely be noticed
Celicas are surprisingly cheap to insure, atleast in the UK.
Is not considered sport car for the insurance
@@MEPR03 Even the GTS?
Ah you’re in RI I see noice. From your MA neighbor.
miles per gallon?
My dad got the the same celica but the 6 speed gt-s model in blue
Manual
how tall are you? I really like the Celica, but I'm wondering if I can fit in one. I'm 16 and 6'1, so I'm not quite done growing.
I'm just under 5'11", and my seat was all the way up. You could probably fit if you lowered the bottom of the seat!
Thanks!
how tall are you now
I’m from Rhode Island too
Dude you got the same kind as me. Same color in and out. Mine has a clear gas door, Ted gas cap, racing clutch (which I hate and can’t stand), that nice carbon paneling around the shifter knob, huge air filter, I don’t know what kind, motegi rims, it’s a very fun car. I love it.
Hi, Is it bad to get one that has a 290K mileage? for 2000 bucks
Yes
Silver look intensifies
Talking to someone selling an 2000 Toyota Celia with 170k miles. They are asking for 2.5k. would this be a good buy? I am looking for a first car
What did you end up getting?
And was it the GT or GTS looking into into if the GT is worth getting
Me encanta ♥️
Es guay!
I have this car is mazing fast storage exland sound best engine and transmission. Very easy to drive and control .my just I put remote start. And snow tires. First time. No driver in winter. Fast some BMW bikes Suzuki or Yamaha and Honda bike
I'm looking to get a Celica 2001 gt its my dream car for $1500 with 165,000 miles is that a good buy?
If it's in really good shape and has all the options you're looking for, yeah that's a good buy!
Upshift Unlimited alright lol thanks i really like your videos.The one im looking at also has a rust hole on the back wheel well is I don't know if that's hard to repair and a dent on the side fender and paint flaking. But no sunroof :( do all Celicas come with cruise control?
2017Subaru cross treck I believe they do
Really how much is 2500 e in America money?
I have same car
Me and my younger brother actually got it a 2000 Toyota Celica Gt as a gift from out parents, Love the car sooo much!! It's fast and really smooth! The oil comsumption is kinda annoying but really awesome!! Great Review!!!! Thank you for giving me some facts I didnt know about the Celica but I got a question what about the handel right under where the Handel for the windshield whipers, I was wondering What's that handel for?
i want a car same. i from peru, what is the consume of car?
Marco Vasquez oiga! cómo estás?
Underrated sports car
Only 2425 lbs in this GT form
Perfect for a turbo add-on to 250HP or so
It's FWD, so there is only so much you can do for the power.
How do you know if it's manual? Or automatic?
The gearshifter is different for each model and the manual has a clutch pedal
In 2000 I saw THE tested with BMW x 5 haywey for 6oo k.m they say EXLAND CAR CIELCA
Never drove one in the Winter. How does it get around?
i need to know this as well.
I think it's ok. I drove my Celica a couple times to Reno in the winter, without any problems.
Nunca van a pasar de moda
What phone are you using?
I'm using an Apple iPhone 6s!
Someone is trying to sell one to me for 2000 it has 201000 miles on it . Is that a good buy, exterior is 7/10 interior 7/10 with Scion tC wheels
id pass, high miles imo.
gangstalishis how much miles would be good?
you should make more pov drives
I want to! I need a GoPro first haha
I hope it happens!
How many miles y'all have on your celicas?
Erick Rojas G 210,277 and still running good
What kind of maintenance for it to keep going? Might buy a 200k celica from2000
@@erickrojasg2622 22,000
What gas mileage do you get?
How many miles on that?
My odometer is actually broken lol so I'd guess it has about 165K miles, and gas mileage is between 27/34 city/hwy I'd say! Not sure about those numbers though since I can't test it haha
Usually 29 miles per gallon average street and highway combined. I got up 38miles per gallon on a road trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles (mostly highway).
Do you have problem with Oil consumption?
Yes, I'll be making a video on the Celica's awful oil burn issue very soon
Have to same issue;) it is consuming 500 ml per 1000km, sometimes even more:P
Are you using 10w40?
Did you guys find a fix on it? Is the oil expensive? I'm interested in buying this car.
i recently fixed the oil problem, but i got bad news. The only way to stop oil consumption is a full engine rebuild. you need to change all gaskets and piston rings. cost : more than 1000$. it's better to buy a gts or a 2003 celica gt as they have no problems. it worked alright for me as i got the car 2000eur under the average price.
Your car is the same as mine)
Thinking of getting a 2001 GTS with 160k miles as my secondary car/manual learner. He wants 2k for it which sounds great aside from some heavy paint damage up front.
go for it, it's a great deal. where I live all celica start at 4k even with most of um having 200k+
Is this car still suitable for college? Someone's selling me a 2000 Toyota celica ZZ2 around 400,000(pesos) with 6-speed manual.
This car is the perfect college car! I'm in college currently and it's never let me down! As long as the car is in good shape, I say go for it! I wish I had the GT-S with the 6-speed manual haha
+The Celica Guy thanks mate for the quick reply. respect and sub for you.
+Christian Garcia thank you so much!!!
+The Celica Guy last question, hows the maintenance cost? and how often you need to do maintenance on this car? thank you
+Christian Garcia since it's a Toyota, maintenance is really easy! Just take care of it, wash it when you can, do your oil changes when you need to, and it'll treat you just fine. Basic care is all you really need, so it's cheap!
Hey! how tall are u?
Alejandro Pérez Puente Hey! I am 5'10"
dangit!
His max speed is 240 km/h?
Here in Africa, it's 180 km/h
Shocked as well
either your hands are reeeeally stable or you have awesome optical image stabilization
Hahahah steady hands believe it or not, I was impressed myself!
U should do more car videos I feel like you'd raise to the top instantly.
+malik kemp Hey thanks man! I really appreciate it! I've been trying to start the channel up, if you haven't seen my other videos give them a quick look! I do have more reviews like this planned shortly! So stay tuned!
I have a question about this car actually, I might buy this car tomorrow and I'm going to drive 13 miles to do so but I'm not sure if I'd be able to fit in it. I'm 6'4 and I can drive comfortably in cars like Toyota Camry but idk. do you think I'd be able to fit in this?
+malik kemp I think you'll be fine! You'd just need to put the seat all the way back and all the way down! I know someone who is 6'4" and he fit fine!
is it powerful?
As powerful as a 140 HP car can be :P
Is this car rear whell drive?
no
it's actually front whell drive...
A yo I got the same color bro
👍
How much fuel does it get for 100km/h in normal or eco driving?
There aren't any drive modes in this car, but it gets around 28-32 miles per gallon on average, highway and city combined. :)
The Celica Guy so i can say it gets 7l per 100km... looool... i think this is my next car... my BMW e46 318i 2.0 143PS gets 10l (2,7 galons per 100km) .. this is very economic car if we speak about sport/coupe cars..and it have 140PS... just line mine...
Awesome! It's highly recommended! Good luck!
How old are you?
Loud Thunder I am 21
Struts
wait r u serious? drums in the rear?? my fucking 2000 hyundai tiburon has discs evem
subie skyline34 would I lie about that lol trust me I wish it had discs. The GTS has discs on all 4 corners, this is just the GT
Upshift Unlimited yah but wat im saying is a fucking hyundai has the same power and same body style and is cheaper from factory lol. still i wanna trade my tibby for a celi....mabey one day lil
Pretty sure Japanese and European ones had discs all round on the gt or the vvti which we call it here in the U.K.
I bought the celica tsport 2002 6speed manuell and fuck ed the engine on the way home same day .. fml
Oh no!!! >_< what did you do lol? Hope you can get it fixed!
+The Celica Guy I was exited about the 192hp so naturally drove it on the high way and accelerated hard, the previous owner didn't drive it for 1.5 months so i destroyed the camshaft
+Sari Raed ooooo dang, that's rough stuff. I wish you the best of luck my friend
+The Celica Guy thank you and hey good stuff on your channel keep it up!
+Sari Raed thank you so much!!! More on its way!
