They are reliable cars but finicky about oil levels.
Toyotas are extremely reliable, I have owned several. They are finicky about required, scheduled maintenance. Be sure to keep the oil filled, and maintenance such as belts replaced a certain mileage and they will last forever!

Long lasting, reliable engine
Perfect car for me, no problems, ever. I wish it was still made.

Great little car even though Toyota discontinued it.
I love my 2004 Toyota Celica. It gets good gas mileage and easy to get around town. It sits a little low to the ground and can be hard to get in and out of. I love the hatchback - easy to fill up and unload groceries. Never had any trouble with the engine.

Had this car since new. Its been and continues to be a great car.
It's great I love it drives smooth nooo problems. Oil change and tire rotations every 6 months. I would get another Toyota.

My Toyota Celica is an amazing little car that you can just zip around town in it looks great it's practically maintenance free
I believe that Toyotas are the most reliable vehicle on the road, the most economic car on the road and the best resale value of any car on the road, I would not consider driving anything other than a Toyota. Toyota Also offers an amazing maintenance plan for two years, how can you go wrong?

Toyotas can last a long time with lots if miles if taken care of.
I love my car because its reliable and I depend on it.

It's an affordable sports car.
The brakes are wearing out currently. But the car as a whole has been functional and has provided me with a sense of relief based off of its reliability and its affordability on gas and other parts. I would highly recommend this car to another person and would have no problem telling them about its awesome features and affordability as a sports car.

It is blue. The gas mileage is the best part .
It its old 2004 for its age it uses little oil. Great on gas .30 miles to the gallon. Driving for long time it's not too bad. The air works great as well. The heat work great as well. Maybe to well. On this car the console is not good. It broke that really made me very upset but, other than that really get car .

The car drives smoothly. Also it is reliable.
Like the gas mileage, also the sportiness. Love the look. Hate the acceleration is slow. It has no sunroof. Not enough room on back seat.

It is a very inexpensive car. I paid a little over 4,000. I think it is a good value for it being reliable with all the miles I put in the car.
