I'm on the verge of buying a 2006 Toyota Celica, its the 1.8 premium model and has 18 months warranty left. I just want to ask any current or former Celica owners if they would recommend the car. I currently drive a 1.6 Ford Focus, and while I love the car and the way it drives, I just want something sportier. I've read something about the alloys on Celicas being a bit dodgy and need replacing - any experience of this ?
the alloy wheels buckle very easily.i had to change mine to after market wheels when the car was only 2 years old (52 reg).warrenty did'nt cover the wheels and toyota denied there was any common problem with celica alloy wheels.apart from the alloy wheel problem it's an exelent car.
