The newer celicas are extremely
nice
cars. they offer a sleek sporty design with nice
power without emptying your life savings from the bank. i consider the "newer" models the 2000-2005 version. they come in 3 trim packages: base, gt, and gts. the base and gt have the same 1.8l 1zz-fe engine that puts out 140hp. the gts models get a perforbloke
ce version of the 1.8l engine called the 2zz-fe that puts out 180hp.
