    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.

    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.

    • @alexanderjamesreed935
      @alexanderjamesreed935 3 роки тому +2

      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
      @SpartanQwop 3 роки тому

      @@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
      @alexanderjamesreed935 3 роки тому

      @@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.
