2008 Toyota Celica
The Toyota family is comprised of small cars, midsize cars, SUVs in a
variety of styles and sizes and a few pickup trucks. Only one position
is saved for a model that fits into the sporty coupe segment. That spot
is reserved for the Celica.
Superb handling, peppy performance and an aggressive style all mark models
in the sporty coupe segment. A more fitting description of the 2008 Toyota
Celica would have been difficult to conjure up.
There aren't many changes to this year's Celica, but in no way does that
mean that it's lost its cool.
Available Models
The 2008 Toyota Celica is offered in GT and GT-S models. The GT also comes
with an Action Package, which essentially pushes the trim level up to
three.
Interior Features
Though the 2008 Toyota Celica is intended to be driver's cars first and
foremost, they have a surprising amount of trunk space. The two-door,
four-seater provides up to 16.9 cubic feet of cargo volume.
The entry-level 2008 Toyota Celica GT model are equipped with such things
as air conditioning, a center console, power mirrors, an AM/FM/cassette/CD
player, a digital clock and a rear defogger. Nothing crazy, but comfortable
nonetheless.
The Toyota Celica GT-S model adds more power under the hood and appointments
inside the cabin. They include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise
control, power windows and door locks and a JBL sound system.
Exterior Features
The 2008 Toyota Celica GT-S model also has standard alloy wheels, which
are optional with the GT. However, GT models with the Action Plan get
bodyside cladding and an adjustable rear spoiler. New this year are available
high-intensity discharge headlamps.
Performance
GT models use a 1.8-liter dual-overhead-cam inline 4-cylinder engine.
It is able to churn out 140 horsepower at 6400 rpm and 125 lb-ft of torque
at 4200 rpm. Again, like its interior appointments, not bad. However,
if you want real jump, move on up to the GT-S.
Top-line GT-S trims receive a similar 1.8-liter I4 engine. It dishes out
a rumbling 180 horsepower at 7600 rpm and 130 lb-ft of torque at 6800
rpm. This is the model that you probably think of when you hear the Celica
name.
The 2008 Toyota Celica GT model comes with standard 5-speed manual transmission;
the GT-S with 6-speed manual. Automatic transmission is available for
both Celicas and provides the GT-S with steering-wheel buttons for manual
shifting.
Safety and Security
Dual front airbags and daytime running lights are part of the standard
package. Antilock brakes and front side airbags are optional.
