Newbie - 05 Celica GT-S owner here
Bought the last model of the Celica available in the US, I was drunk when I bought it on a whim because I was sad to hear they weren't going to make it anymore. I love it, no regrets here except I wish I had gotten the 6spd manual, but the automatic with steering wheel shifter is great for the So Cal traffic. I've always owned Toyotas, started with a 85 Tercel 4WD wagon, loved that car, it could go anywhere. Then I got an 85 Camry, that thing was much faster than my Tercel and a nice smooth ride. Then I got a 1990 SR5 PU extra cab 2WD. Then I got my first Celica a 1993 GT-S 5 spd, and I was in love. Held all my surfboards inside with the seats down, I could sleep in it with the seats down, the only thing i wish was that I had gotten the AWD one. If I had I never would have let it go, I still regret getting rid of it! But I put 200,000 miles on it. Then I got a 2001 SR5 extra cab Pre-runner Tacoma, wish I had gotten the 4WD when i got it buried in 3 feet of mud in Death Valley and had to hike 24 miles til I found someone else out there who could help me get to civilization. After that experience I was detached from the truck, didn't really like it as much anymore, then I heard Celica's were going the way of the Dodo so after a few beers found myself at a dealership and an hour later driving home in a new Celica GT-S. I love it, it's just like my 93, but faster, quieter, and still pretty cool looking. I've had it up to 135 on a local toll road and it handles like a dream. I love getting it up above 6000 rpm!
