Toyota Celica Coupe 1986-
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Pretty good if you avoid dealer forecourts. Not very popular car, so used prices fairly reasonable.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    CAM belt change at 60,000 miles is expensive, as is any part of the exhaust system.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good for long journeys. Understeers when pushed. Huge turning circle.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Can't keep up with modern hot hatches.

    Probably worst looking Celica version.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellent driving position. Firm but supple ride. Plenty of room in front. Rear seats cramped.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Pretty good, but I may just have been lucky. Basically the car didn't have any problems, so service was pretty unchallenging.
