What did you drive before your Celica?


Recommended Posts

Mondeo ST are always better than Vectra GSI, lol had a vectra SRi while my megane was being repaired, worst month of my life! never felt safe in it! compared to my mondeo which was a pleasure to drive! and produced more power than the GSI :D

and Rammers i'm guessing a Nova?

Good guess that man! You would be correct. you win diddly squat, please enjoy :lol:

Holy thread revival batman!

BMW E36 323I Coupe I bought for £480 from a bloke in Fleetwood who wasn't even the owner.

But I'd just sat on a train for 4 hours, and then in the back of his mates car from the train station for 30 minutes and the tyres were brand new michelins so I took the chance.

Bar overheating a few times when I'd got back to Coventry (fan didnt work so got hot in traffic and coolant came out when I opened the cap, I then refilled it without bleeding, doh!) it never let me down. It was cream crackered though so I sold it to a drifter for £450.

A Peugeot 106 Graduate. Awful car but my parents bought me it for my 18th so couldn't complain. Crashed it the second day when I drove into back of someone and then 6months later I drove into a securicor van when he was taking money to our Post Office.

Soon bought a gen 5 GT4 instead.

a brand new golf gti (2011) it was a company car and I'd moved job so had to buy one. wanted a celica since my mates dad had a brand new one in 2000. it was the seats I fell in love with.

since the celica I've had a cliof 172. a BMW 320d and now an abarth 500.

plan to get another celica as a weekend toy some time soon.

question is gen 5 or gen 7

The car i owned the previous 12 years before the trade-in deal for my Red:

Corolla3_zpsgjiicl3o.jpg

Toyota Corolla 1.9D

Ultra reliable, face-lift model year 2000.

Toyota sourced the diesel engine design from Peugeot, a common rail 1.9L producing no noticeable horse power but there was a small herd of 69 ponies that could lurch forward on occasion.

It was a very dependable bus that got me to work and back, and despite the poor brakes and 'get out and run faster acceleration' it faired far better with road holding abilities, very low running costs, an excellent build quality [uK model] and many endearing qualities that i felt very sorry when the time came to part :cry:
