Over its 35-year history, it has stood out for its mix of sharp styling and everyday dependability. Since the 1970s, the Toyota Celica has been delivering sleek, race-car looks at a sensible price. Popular in the UK for its sporty design, it offers nimble handling and a comfortable, practical interior by coupe standards. The seventh and final generation Celica ran from 1999 to 2006 and stood out against costlier rivals like the Mazda RX-8 and the Hyundai Coupe with its affordable but still eye-catching presence. Later Celica models, in particular, benefit from bold, modern styling and solid Toyota engineering. That means you get a fun sports car with the reliable build quality Toyota is known for. Key highlights include decent running costs, sturdy, well-designed cabins and surprisingly generous boot space for a car of this type.
