Remember when your mom told you that it
wasn’t nice to brag? Well, your mom’s
not around now is she? The Toyota Celica
GT and the Celica GT-S make showing of a
breeze as it whips around corners and swerves
smoothly through traffic. Just because you
live in the city doesn’t mean that
you shouldn’t own a sports car.

Pros and Cons:
Pros: The Toyota Celica
comes standard with Front Passenger and
Second Row Automatic Locking Retractors
and Front Power 274-mm Ventilated Disc and
Rear Power Drum Brakes. Based on information
provided by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Association the Celica scored a 4
out of 5 for Front Crash driver and passenger
safety and a 5 out of 5 for Rollover Resistance.
JD Power and Associates ranks the Celica
a 4 out of 5-stars in Overall Quality, Mechanical
Quality, Feature and Accessory Quality and
Body and Interior Quality.
Cons: Based on information
provided by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Association the Celica scored a 3
out of 5 for Side Crash safety. Meaning
that this car does not stand out in its
class for crash safety.
Safety:
Confidence is one of the necessary components
of successfully completing a hairpin turn
or weaving down a winding country road and
confidence is only found through knowing
that you are behind the wheel of a safe
vehicle. Toyota understands this and has
included in the standard safety package
features like: Front Passenger and Second
Row Automatic Locking Retractors, Driver
Airbag and Side Guard Beams. When the National
Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA)
tested the Celica it scored a 4 out of 5
for Front Crash driver and passenger safety
and a 5 out of 5 for Rollover Resistance.
Obviously Toyota has been doing something
right.
