The TOYOTA CELICA (1999-06) 3DR COUPE 1.8 VVTI PREMIUM BLUE is a compact sports coupe, rather than a conventional family hatchback. Its distinctive styling gives it more occasion than an ordinary small car, while three doors and usable rear seats offer some everyday practicality. In the UK used market, it is an affordable, increasingly uncommon choice for drivers wanting a sporty-looking Toyota without buying a large or costly performance car. Mycarcheck.com records 149 look-ups covering 68 different VINs, a useful sample of interest in this older model. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,100, average recorded mileage of 115,000 and yearly use of about 5,000 miles. Cars had around four previous keepers on average. It suits couples, commuters and enthusiasts more than families. Against rivals such as the Hyundai Coupe, it offers distinctive styling, an engaging drive and Toyota appeal. Check the car’s condition and history carefully before buying.
