Toyota has been blessed with many award-winning designs, including the Toyota Celica of 2003. There are two trim levels to the Celica, including GT and GTS. The GTS version is one of the more popular options. Like in 2002 the popular 1.8 liter has made this a popular choice for hatchback buyers across the country.
Toyota Celica Engine Specs
Toyota Celica Engine Specs: The Celica GTS comes outfitted with a 1.8 liter, 4-cylinder motor that uses 16 valves. The engine, manufactured by Toyota, is teamed up with a Toyota 6-speed transaxle. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Toyota.
The fuel system for the 2003 Celica is a traditional SFI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 14.50 gallons.
Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Celica has power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.
Vehicle Statistics
The Celica is 170.50 inches long, 68.30 inches wide, and 51.40 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 102.40 inches. It is able to seat 4 comfortably.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $17,340 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $15,691. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Hatchback.
The standard warranty period for the Celica is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the hatchback market.
Fuel Efficiency
The 2003 Celica gets 33 - 36 miles/gallon on the highway and only 27 - 29 in the city. This is exceptional for a hatchback car.
We Think…
