Impressions for six months. Pros and Cons of Auto - Toyota Celica, 1.8 liter, 2000

Let's close the semi-annual history of the car with a small summary.

PROS

+Appearance

The car really stands out in the stream, even in stock form.
Finger poking, idiotic and not so questions from drivers in traffic jams, people's glances, requests to take pictures in the background.

To the point that a friend somewhere stumbled upon a photo - somewhere Madam managed to take a picture against the background of my car while it was parked)

+ The speed
is very frisky for a tiptronic. in urban mode - where to quickly twitch, slip through, etc. - enough in full. To "punish" a "mortal" machine is also not difficult.

+ Handling
Excellent feedback from a slightly stiff sports steering wheel, the car perfectly follows any steering movement at different speeds.
(there was even a feeling that at a speed of 90 and above - it starts to obey even more)

+ Landing. Salon
Very comfortable fit in the cabin and ergonomics. Everything is thought out, comfortable, no complaints.
Among other things, the interior also looks great. According to passengers, it resembles a space fighter.

+ Service
Contrary to popular belief - reasonable prices, no super zeros after ones

+ Capacity
It would seem — a coupe body. What can be put in there. So here's a huge, incredible bunch of stuff.
Starting with various shapeless pieces of iron, ending with four wheels.
The maximum capacity of people is 5 people. At the same time, a very large person. ))

MINUSES

-Reverse and review
Let's just say, I'll get used to it all the time. Each maneuver backwards in more or less difficult conditions (dark, crowded) causes inconvenience.

-Service
Much, of course, is without problems. But at the same time. The Celica is also a GT-S - you have to wait for some spare parts, because. only on order.
An extremely limited set of service stations with craftsmen who have experience in this machine

-Disembarkation
Yes. Getting out of the car is not for everyone. The machine immediately cuts off possible clumsy people or older people.
====================================

More lyrical impressions.

In short - until now, when I go out to the car, I involuntarily smile and proudly flop inside))

Stylish, distinctive, eye-catching, fast, agile beast you can count on.

The ideal car in its price range for young, active, unusual successful people.

It is noteworthy: the owners of Selik Almaty, as it turned out, are completely creative and near-creative personalities.
