6G Celicas Forums

-Cupholders
-Lack of 'get up and go' power
-Color of interior lights
-Low gearing ratios (anybody else have that? I get like 29-33 mpg but it runs around 3200-4000rpm on the freeway, w/e)

? seriously? compared to what? Try driving most american domestic vehicles and I think you'll see what an massive turning circle really looks like.

lol, no schett. Our celi's turn on quarters. Not quite dimes, but a legimit quarter.

I have to face a small obstical corse to make it into my shop in the mornings, Included with 2 U turns and a hard left, I can make it every time first time in the celica. Now my Gal's Altma, I have to stop, and reverse at 2 diff points (each u-turn) and risk being ran down by traffic.

our turning radius is only beaten by like a fork-lift or something... lol.

Yeah i cant complain about the turning radius either,my last car didnt have any power steering,so celica is great when it comes to that .My celica has a better turning radius that my wifes 2004 corolla ,now thats really good.

my last car was a 4Runner, so I'm just pleased as punch about the turning radius!

I always though the turning radius was extremely low:read sucks, theres not way to make a U-turn on a 2 way lane.

With the WRX now I can go check my mail and turn easily around without using reverse...thats probably a 2-3 feet difference.

^ LOL we really are on different sides of the pond today it seems!

filling it up at £1.07 a litre

thats about it really

shhhh!!!

really wish I had a sixth gear for the highways

maybe i'm the only one who noticed it but the windows keep fogging up, all of them

the headlights one broke off at the clip and I had to fix it with wire

mainly the way the dealer messed up the car, the brakes were never done and the battery wasn't tied down

I used to find the backseat pretty awful, but after being in the back of a Gen5 Celica and an R34 Skyline GT25 2door....the Gen5 has no headroom and the skyline has ZERO leg room.

Oh no doubt, still gets good mpg tho

Make mine another vote for (or would it be against?) the crappy cupholders. Also, I'd prefer rear-wheel drive, but it's obviously not a deal-breaker for me.

my squeakin rear end...stupid rotted out strut rod bushings.

the front...other than the hid's

I have lots of stuff that I don't like about my celica but its mostly stuff that can be fixed.... like my radio antenna doesn't work properly so I'm gonna have to get a new one. Lots of other stuff that I need to change as well.

BUT in general the things that I don't like about my celica is that there is not much after market support. I'm talking body kits, piping (as I read the forums most people need custom piping for IC's among other things). Not really a lot that I don't like about this car actually.

the noise, i have wayyy tooo many rattles and i can't tell where they are. i swear i'm gonna tear apart the car and rebuild it from the ground so its more solid.
cons-
underpowered vote+1, could've run 4age/3sge/gt4...
windows fog all the time
window liners allow too much water in the door
lame interior light colors
pre-facelift shouldn't have existed..
disc on gt only..
swapable motors are soo pricy.. wtf? a h22b (most tuner friendly honda motor) ~600-800
tight gearing.. high rpm's on highway.. maybe a 6th gear?
the cup holders (although not used often) can suck my d!ck

pros-
lots of engine bay room
exterior/interior design!
rear hatch opens super high
runs forever...
decent gas mileage

think that works from me...

I dont like the fact that I can't find my perfect Celica fully optioned out with 3s-ge,abs,airbags,manual,sunroof + all the good bits like automatic a/c climate control box, 2 seat knobs on driver seat -- remembers upright position and the bucket flattens and dips, the handy windscreen sprayer button ...

Only the late model SS-III and GT-Fours are fully optioned out like this and they cost twice as much as the regular Celicas and very few of them have sunroofs.

I miss the sunroof of my SS-I but hated the stupid 3S-FE motor, Celica is a very sexy looking car but the sunroof makes it look so much nicer and it's awesome to use.

So yeah I hate the choice of **** motor and sunroof, or better motor and looking average and no sun roof

ahh i love my sunroof (only 17 of the 77 aus delivered group A's had one)

you did get a poor choice over there.

all ZR 204 had abs, airbag, sunroof, skirts, %99 are manual (im yet to see an auto one) we only have the manual aircon here which all zr are supposed 2 have. I like the manual better anyway, less sh!t to go wrong.

all those above mentioned things were optional on the sx.

there is a couple of exceptions to the rule.

and compared to earlier (and later) celicas and other cars in general they have a large turning circle, i suppose compared to some yank tanks they wouldnt be too bad, but for a car their size they are frieken terrible.
