I like the smoothness of the ride, and they're pretty quick, but I just feel like the car is geared towards females.
Anyone else? --------------------  |

I've been looking in 6 gens for years, searching for someone decent. The only females I ever see is granny cruisin below the speed limit. No GILFs though unfortunately. I was quite surprised when I saw Natalie here. I was like..."THEY EXIST!" -------------------- |

mine was originally female too. I'd rock a Solara, not a big fan of the 04's rear tho.

just because there aren't any females here, doesn't mean there aren't a ****load driving the celica...you gotta think, how many of the girls that drive a celica actually look on the internet for a forum to talk about their car? that's the thing.

yeah, first off my celica was an orifgnal female driver. And I just bought a 1999 Solara SLE V6 for a daily driver. I absolutely love that car. I got a steal for it at only 5,000. It's a lot more practical than the celica. It has tons of room, very peppy, and quite comfortable. I'm almost to the point of saying I like it more than the Celi. Then again, I just got it last week, so I gotta let the newness wear off. I'm considering about supercharging it
 for the price though, I couldn't turn it down.

Solaras ARE nice. I drove a 4-cylinder man. around for an afternoon, and it was really, really, nice... Especially since it stickerd for only 19,200 and it was brand new
faster than my saleeka, thats for sure  ohh and V6's arent available in man. transmissions... tear... although i belive Automobile tested a V6 auto against a 6 speed man. Accord coupe and the Solara was FASTER than it up to around 50 mph 
-------------------- Car #3: 98 Accord LX- purchased 5/06, totaled 8/06
Car #2: 95 Celica GT- purchased 8/03, current daily driver Car #1: 01 Focus ZX3- purchased 5/01, sold 8/03 |
