Toyota Celica Coupe ST 3d (1994/M) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought car when it was two years old with 18.8k miles on the clock (it had suffered a 40% drop in price against original list, making it a bargain).
Costs
You'll get between 250 to 300 miles on about 30 litres of fuel (1/2 tank of fuel). Servicing reasonable. Tyres seems to last a long time (I'm running Michellin 195/65 89H XH1s).

On the road
Driving
Good driving position. Excellent gearbox/clutch. Steering responsive, but not aggressive.
Performance
Ample acceleration to cope with bendy B-roads and good cornering ability, but not a supercar.

Living with it
Reliability
Touch wood, this car has not let me down yet.
Image
Looks stunning, especially after a good coat of autoglym, some would say better than the newer Mk VII version. Basically the car is slower than it looks, so to an untrained observer, looks the part.
Comfort
Seats slightly hard, but it's not what you buy a sport coupe for is it? Suspension can be a bit hard over road humps / pot holes, even at low speed.

Security
