Still got my 1992 Celica. First and only car i bought all the way back in 2004. 16 Years later and i still enjoy driving it and it's approaching 400,000kms!

This is the best looking Celica. It seemed like all of the Japanese automakers were making sexiest hatchbacks during the 1990s. Civic, Integra, MX-3, RX-7, 3000GT, Eclipse, Supra, just to name a few.

" the back space is suitable for children or midgets" that caught me off guard lol

scotty kilmer: *heavy breathing*

Popup headlights

I could watch the retro reviews all day!

I had one of these. Same white on blue. Tho later I swapped to a grey '93 leather interior. It was my third Celica and it did not disappoint. What a car. So many memories. There's something about 90's Japanese cars...

I love this generation of the Celica so much!! This car basically jump started a design trend through the 90's with its rounded sculpted body. I want one so bad, but all the ones I see around here are rusted out.

Given that today's market is dominated by SUVs and trucks, it's mind-blowing that sporty, affordable cars like this were not just available for sale, but came in so many variations (coupe, liftback, convertible). I miss those days!

My favorite car of all time. I've owned 3 of these over the years. I'd gladly take one now.

What a great well made car. Handling and quality build make it a classic.

Bought one in terrible shape with 177k. 1.6l motor and barely had any maintenance done if at all. ST trim, white on blue but with auto trans. Trans was SHOT. Revved to 6k before it shifted in any gear. Dropped the pan in the middle of February drained every ounce that came out (gravity drain, no torque converter flush) 1 bottle of Lucas and 3 quarts of trans max and it lived to sail another day. A few days actually. Car now sits with 362k miles. Did every experiment that came into my mind in my mid 20s. Kerosene flush the engine, tried a bunch of different things. I remember a friend who was rich at the time made fun of that car to no end. Glad every gm product he’s owned has failed him at under 100k. That makes me feel good 😂 Thank you Toyota. For making a boring product. Instead of filling my brain with problems, you’ve left that empty for me to be creative and learn so much about your products early on in life. Perpetually grateful

Had one of these for 18 years never broke down once.

4:42 "Bring me a higher love....", also glad John didn't get ran over at the beginning.

Our local Toyota dealership recently took in a red one-owner all original '90 Celica All-Trac with 93k miles. The original window sticker was in the glove box and it had that marvelous old Toyota smell inside. While I got to sit in it, I was not allowed to drive it :( not sure what became of it.

this was the pinnacle of Toyota.

There was a time in this country when people bought cars that were fun to drive.

I had this car for few years, it had around 200k km and it was still running very well. The engine was strong and no issues with electronics. The only issues I had were cv boots and suspension which is normal given the mileage (it was 17 years old at the time of the purchase).

The most beautiful Celica ever made

I'm 24 years old and I can't get enuff of retro reviews! They are fun to watch! Keep your head up to the sky and thanks for posting!

Clumsy? Clumsy??? That real spoiler is the best integrated one in the history of 1990s hatchbacks. It's an incredibly well designed flow that allows the rear quarter fender flares to integrate perfectly with the elliptical tail lights.

I think because I see these more often in ST trim and in poor condition, I’ve never enjoyed the look. But the little extra width to the fenders and a clean paint job makes me appreciate this body style. These will appreciate, in good condition, more than the next model with the quad headlights.

My wife had a white 90 gt that was a year old when she got it. To this day it is her favorite car she has owned.

Woot. I always loved these Celcia designs with the smooth curvy look and hidden headlamps. Plus. I loved the blue and red coloured interiors.

had a 1992 celica gt hatchback 5 speed back in the day, miss that car like crazy

Celica really needs to make a comeback. Toss a 240hp engine in it and sell it in the mid 20s and it would sell like hot cakes!!! But, then again, when has Toyota made something you ask for? lol

Midgets 😆 holly Molly and steve winwood on the radio

Back when a simple engineered, fun, reliable car with a manual transmission was plentiful.

I had one of these. One of my favorite cars . Had just over 300k on it. Only work done on it was tires brakes and oil changes. Everything else was never replaced or repaired. Even had the original clutch.Unfortunately after 15 years worth of upstate New York winters the road salt got the best of it.😔 I have an 86 now, hope to get the long life enjoyment from it.

Found one of these in the junkyard this week. I like the look I parted it out and put a bunch of items on ebay for my KZfaq subscribers.

Love these videos. Watched this show all the time

"The rear seat fits small children or midgets." Absolutely savage! But I understand times were different then and certain language was still tolerated but still that is surprising to hear now lol

'children or midgets' Hahahaha

My sister bought one brand new in 1990 baby blue metallic was the color but it was a automatic. Loved that car.

I have always wanted one of these. I was 13 when they came out in late 1989. My cousins boyfriend had a brand new '91 Celica GT when we were in high school. By this time I was 15-16 years old. I was always envious he had that car and I had a '83 Thunderbird. lol.

Now I miss my red '90 GT.

To me, this was most attractive generation of Celicas, especially the wide body GT-S model in this video. However, the All-trac Turbo in black on the bottom left of the screen at 1:07 may be the sexiest car Toyota ever made. Absolutely stunning.

Had the exact same car, 1990 too. Learned to drive in it, but it had over 300,000 miles on it when I got it. Awesome to see what it was like in its prime

I loved this car back then, and can still see why.

I had a Medium Blue Pearl Celica ST. It looked just like the one they showed at the 1:09 mark. It cost 13K with a few options like mudgaurds, a cassette player, and A/C. Loved that little car!

God, I want to purchase one of these celicas one day, they’re so beautiful 😍

Wonderful car. My girlfriend drives a ‘93 Celica GTS. Also Steven Winwood!!

Idk care how good the Ford probe is. The 5th generation celicas are still going strong today. I don't if can say the same for the probe

If the celica comes back as a cuv I'm roping.

Thank you! Any chance you have a review of the 88-91 Honda CRX?

This reminds me of when I used to play gran turismo and do testing on stock cars.

Yes, thank you for this upload, I love this generation Celica!

Still a nice car even if driven today.

I just bought a 93 Celica GT with a 3SGTE swapped into it. It’s on 18 PSI right now and Has no dents or scratches! couldn’t be happier with it.

I used to have this exact car. Same colors and everything. It was a nice ride.

I don't miss my 1991 Celica GTS....... why? Because I still have it. Bought brand new almost 30 years ago. Never selling it, will likely be given to my kids one day.

Loved that Phil Collins hit, just pulled it up on iTunes. I’ll have a awesome drive tomorrow.

Also notice how they describe its curves on the outside and on the interior dashboard. By now it is the standard. Back then it was relatively new style because any cars before the 90s had exact and precise shapes as opposed to curves on the interior or the outside.

Extremely reliable and well built car. Cannot say that about the probe. These outlasted the probe by many years and still a few around. Great car.

I have a '92 Celica GT convertible. They're not kidding about the braking distance. It's a great commuter car and it's easy to maintain. The value of these Celicas went up recently. I saw ads in Craigslist for one in very good condition for $5000. Thanks Scotty Kilmer :P

I miss my old Celica! I had a 93 model hatch, top of the range like the one here, although an Australian spec. Still had the same engine and gearbox, although it was a series 2 and had a shorter shifter. Never found it bad on fuel, I used to drive about 150 - 200 km Monday to Friday, and easily got a bit over a 1000 Kms (about 650 miles) per tank, I only had to fill it up once a week..

I love Celiac's. I've had a bunch of them. Never gave me any problems

This is my dream car,im a big fan of 90s car and this is my favorite overall,sure it may not be fast but i really just want to cruise in it in the afternoons😎

Do they have the 7th gen Celica review?

My mom drove a '92 Celica in metallic gray back when I was a little kid. She was driving a Renault before that, but a man pulled her out of it, beat her, and attempted to steal it before driving it into a light pole. This was back in 1994. I remember riding in this car all the time as a kid, usually near the break of day when she finished her shift as a bartender over at Knickerbockers in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The song "One Headlight" was very popular and I think I heard it at least once on every one of those rides, along with the entirety of the Barenaked Ladies Gordon album.

It's crazy that this entire class of car does not exist anymore. The last of the affordable, sporty, 2+2 coupes died out in the '00s.

I still have my 1991 Celica GTS. Love that car. Can't believe he said the 240sx had better styling.... Weren't ready for the round style yet I guess. 5th gen Celica was definitely ahead of it's time for looks.

Can we see a Toyota Previa review please?

How many Ford probes are still running?

Beautiful machine!!!!!! ❤️

Has a 91 Celica GT convertible. I love her.

The all trac turbo is pretty rare and the people who have them keep them.Buying the all trac today pretty pricey used if you can even find one.

Can you guys do a 90s Honda Odyssey review?

damn that 106ft brake tho

I had a 2005 Celica (purchased it brand new in February of 06, one of the last new Celicas sold in the state of NC). I regret trading it to this day. Young and stupid. A beautiful, dependable car that got me almost 40 mpg on non-stop beach trips. Would love for them to bring them back.

My favorite of the Celica clan!!

the late 80 early 90's had a lot of distinct sytles, round cars, angular cars, flatter cars...lots of variety

I have owned numerous cars from old to new… from slow to fast. This car is by far my favorite of all. I will never sell this and keep it going for as long as i can

0:24 damn, that roll-in is like something straight out of Gran Turismo 7

My first car was a 90 GT auto. I upgraded the wheels to 17s and lowered the car with eibach springs and kyb gr2 struts.

"Won't get mistaken for anything else on the road" - definitely miss those days. Today there's one car...the Hyundai Sonata, but you can get it in Toyota, Honda, and Nissan trim levels, and they also give you a choice of small, medium, and large. Only one sports car too - the Ford Escape. :-(

I don’t see the road test of the 2000-2005 celica, can you guys post it if you have it !

My favorite car, celica!!

My Mom had a 90 red GT hatchback but later traded it in for a 92 Camry. I was the unhappiest 7-year-old, ever.

🇯🇵🎡🎢🌈😳💖Toyota, please bring back the Celica and the Supra along with y'all legendary sports cars!🇯🇵🎡🎢🌈😳💖

Ford Probe has aged very badly! Better styling than the Celica? Er no.

Awesome 😃 👍👍 👍

1990 red Toyota celica gt was my first car at 15 years old and had it ten years :)

Finally i was waiting on this video i want to get one

great car i owned a T18 and now i have a T20. they are fun to drive

I miss the celica I wish they would bring it back

I have a 90 celica st best gas mileage ever I have drove this car 12 years still runs great 👍🏿

The front end reminds me of my 1992 Saturn SC

Like this generation but the 1984 and 85 GTS coupe were my favorite

Great video! .. 2000 celica now please?

Loved the GTS. Loved the design, inside and out. The 15” wheels. Handled and stopped fantastic. The 5 spd was smooth. Interior layout was phenomenal- especially the gauge arrangement. The only downside, and it was substantial- was the lackluster 2.2L . The turbo 2.0L from the all-trac would’ve been awesome, along with an LSD. Would’ve made the GTS far more competitive with the rival Eclipse/Talon/Laser models, who offered their turbo in both AWD and FWD.

Hey guys, just wondering. Did motorweek ever review the third generation of celicas?

Just bought a 93 ST 5Spd With 330,000. I know im a masochist, but it still runs like a top shifts good. Needs some body work but the undercarrige has almost no rust. good interior and the A/C still blows ice cold! not bad for 1200$

Nothing says sporty more than hubcaps and blue interior. Ha. I still love the look of this generation Celica though. Popup headlights are still sexy.

Scotty.. My precious!

thank you so much for this video !

Might be getting this car for college, that or a early 90s Camry.

In Germany it initially came as an STi with a 1,6 105hp engine and a Gti with a 2,0 litre 156hp engine. The GT4 had a 2,0 with 204hp but was expensive as hell. A friend had the GTi Cabriolet but it was heavy and acceleration and handling was blunted. The last time I saw one of these is about 15 years ago :(

0:25 i have a 91 gts hatch exactly in this spec, sadly it caught on fire near the firewall and melted anything rubber or plastic. Hope i can get it running again 😔

DAAAAMN!!! AT THOSE PRICES BACK THEN, HOW DID THEY MANAGE TO SELL SO MANY VERY PRICEY
