The Toyota Celica was a sporty compact that evolved into the Supra in 1986. During its 35-year run Toyota offered a very distinct model in each generation, but maintained the spirit of the original.
So dear readers, What is your favorite Toyota Celica?
Give us your take in the comments section. Like my high school history teacher always told me, “There are no wrong answers.”
My take? 1985
I had a1984 celica gt lots of fun
My 1983 Toyota Celica GTS, but it would have been the ’83 Supra (if I could afford it at the time). I loved the rims and tires, too.
Any Celica contvertible, They were more rare & improved their looks & now much more collectible & worth more $.
I have an 1985 Toyota Celica that has sporadic starting difficulty every 6 months or so.it gets spark but no fuel. Any idea ?
My 1st car 1971 Celica! Drove it across country 3 times…..
I also had a 71 Celica! Had it for 20 years! Cost 3000 on the street! Great Car!
1980 gold stick shift…….absolute pleasure to drive.

First Gen
Had a 77 coupe. It had standard transmission. Such a neat car.
The first wedgy, doorstop Supra. Saw one while I was in college, still love that look.
I had a 1982 Celica GT black and silver with wide fat tires. Loved it.
I had a 1986 Celica GTS.
Loved that car. I was so sad to let that go.
I took that car across the country a few times going back and forth to college.
I still prowl the internet looking for one.
I did love the 1985 GTS hatchbacks too.
RWD and a stick shift. That’s heaven.
1977 TA22 GTS NOTCHBACK
Had an ‘83 GTS. Loved the “stance” and the styling. But no good on slippery roads….rear wheel drive, light in the rear end, and wide tires. Traded for an ‘86 GTS. Front wheel drive. Nice, fun car.
I had a 1974 – a bit of a rust bucket, but it still lasted forever!
First car I bought out of college… 1978 Celica GT coupe, gold/tan interior. I loved that car!
1975 Celica GT
I like the fist generation.
1983 celica GTS with trunk not hatch back
1985 GTS HT or hatchback which included the Supra’s IRS and seats
Mine will always be the banned GT-Four ST205.
The 7th generation Toyota Celica GTS with the trd action package was the best one of all. It came a slick body style with a great engine made by Yamaha. It came with a 1.8L 2zz-ge engine with (VVTLI)variable valve lift intelligence. It made 180hp with 130 torque. It had the best look and a 0-60 in 6.5 sec. It has a curb weight of 2500lb and did a quater mile in 14.6 sec. It has the looks and had the quickness on its time. The seventh gen Celica where built from 1999-2006.

Vroooooooom vroooom vroom
First generation
In my opinion and I’ve had two of them the 76 Toyota Celica GT those were the best ones that they ever made I’m trying to find one now but they’re so expensive
I own a 7th gts but I like the 6th gen turbo all wheel drive. The rally car was amazing!
I had a 77 Celica GT, 79 Celica GT then I got a 79 Celica/Supra with the inline 6. Very smooth engine. I was a salesman at a Toyota dealership so I got some nice trades they didn’t want to retail. I then got an 85 Celica GTS. 87 Supra & then a 93 Celica All-Trac. My favorite was the 87 Supra.
88 gt convertible
77 Celica GT. The best car I’ve ever owned!
1977 gt lift back. Styling was fabulous. GT always got a favorable review from car people. Wish I had it now.
Go for Celica 71 !
I had a 72 and a 77 the 77 was the GT fast back silver with black vinyl top, I got it right of the show room floor. To me it was the best, it haD style great power and was fun to drive, oh yea and it got a lot of looks !!!!!
I owned a 1977 Celica GT orange with black interior. The best car I have ever owned. I wish I can find it and buy it back.
My favourite car is 1978 Toyota Celica it was the best car I had
I test drove and loved a 1986 Celica Supra. The salesman told me to wait 6 months for the 86.5 Supra. I bought the first manual 86.5 Supra they got in. I know. The 86.5 isn’t a Celica, but it’s the 86 that started the love.
Still kicking my self for buying a Vette over a 1996 Supra Turbo though.
I have red 1981 celica love it drive it only in summer .
