You know you drive a Celica when your best friend finishes building his sick ass Integra and you tell him his car is still ugly. (sorry but in my opinion the Hondas from the 90s are ugly and boring inside and out)

dunno if this applies to everyone, but all the 6gcs i see around here seem to have the same dented front fender, including mine lol

also, you know you own a 6gc when your clutch takes 2 months to replace because you got stuck here and 9 other sites trying to figure out why in the hell toyota made certain things the way they did

You know you own a Celica when you contemplate why you're putting in so much money into it, when you could buy something faster,or newer , but then take one look at it as you walk up to it and realize how much you love it.

I understand if you want speed the Celica really isn't the best choice, well in the US at least.

Toyota really let the 6th gen down in the U.S. market. We had the 4th and 5th gen All-Trac, but they didn't feel the need to for the 6th. Hell, if we just had gotten the SS-III that'd be enough. But no, stuff in engines from the boring Corolla and Camry.

I feel like we hear this every other week...
You even made a thread about it.

....and yet you and your car are still here wink.gif You love it/us! Lol.

Guys, I was with my mate test driving a 2001 V8 VX Holden Commodore SS today.... Great to drive in a straight line but sucks for cornering due to its size...




Also I am not sure about the Manual guys, or the USA model Celica, but all Auto models here have a PWR/ECON mode button near the hand brake (E-Brake), and when I put mine into PWR mode it launches realllllyy good, and stays in gear for a lot longer too (which is the whole point of this button)

I can't fault Mr. Square as an "internet" person, but my god am I sick of the broken record of posts. I would recommend a Celica to anyone, but I hope he sells his soon so the bitch train can stop. Oh, let me guess his reply so that he doesn't have to post it: "You're just jelly because I'm going for a V8. tongue.gif"

rentaspace, do you mean the ECON button on the AC? I've never heard of this feature. Can you post a picture of this button, please?

This is not a phto from my car (or a Celica for that matter) but this is the button:


Found this about it:
"ECT -- Electronically controlled transmission. Essentially you have a two-mode transmission, with different shift points. Normal mode is designed for decent starts and good fuel economy, with low RPM shift points. Power mode gives you harder accelertion by shifting closer to the redline, but reduces fuel economy. The ECT switch changes the mode."


If you need I can get a photo of my actual button tomorrow

Actually you'll be happy to know I listed the Celica for sale yesterday. I like the Celica, I just don't love it. If we could get the SS-III or GT-Four over here I'd probably be more content with the car, but seeing as we don't...

I'm just a cheap bastard when it comes to spending money of non-reusable resources. tongue.gif If I can't turn around and resell it, I don't want to spend money on it. That all being said I've decided I could care less about spending a few hundred dollars more a year in petrol if that means being happier while burning said petrol. I've yet to find a car locally, for some reason finding an OBDI Trans Am with the 6-speed is a bitch. tongue.gif

And that's the difference that you don't seem to be able to get through your stuffing head. I don't care because the car gives me the best feedback in corners of the FWD vehicles I've piloted. Wrong wheel drive is okay for this car. But, it's also my first car so I'm more enamored with it than I should reasonably be. It's not your first car and it is your least powerful car, blah blah, I understand that.

I enjoy playing contrarian sometimes too, but it gets old to read.

I understand what the car is about, it's the same thing the Miata has going for it: it's small and easy to drive at the limits. It's fun to drive as long as acceleration isn't involved. Sorry I don't wear rose tinted glasses like you do.

No matter how you drive a commodore, they are terrible around corners... They are the definition of boating haha...
That being said, they are still really fun to drive or be in smile.gif

It isn't the overdrive, I have an overdrive gear too. The overdrive enables or disables the forth gear for towing caravans.
