“Car: ai. COREA ROME OF Del New Celica looks UumiCque IF BULLET-PROOF relia- bility, faultless quality, silky smooth feel, spirited han- dling, and innovative looks are what you’re looking for in a sports car, the new Toyota Celica may be just the answer for you. The sixth gencration Celica was totally redesigned last. year, com- -yaplete with revised _ powertrains, ‘improved’ suspensions. lighter yet stiffer body, and -— unfortunately ‘—~ a higher price tag. The turbo-charged all-whee!- drive model and the coupe versions were dropped when the new Celica arrived forthe 1994 model year, leaving only the base Celica, Celica GT, and.Celica GT-S, all in liftback (hatchback) forms only. With the base price starting at over $22,000, and the faster, sportier Celica GT costing in the range of $23,000 to $29,000, we can no longer call this poorman’s Supra. Nevertheless, I'am suse that many _ loyal Toyota buyers would not mind paying‘ an: extra premium for a sports car that they know. will keep ‘its value and remain trouble-free for years to come... > ‘Price side, the. new: Celica “THE NEW Cell OVERDRIVE offers exceptional handling, bai- anced ride, smooth powertrain, and first-rate. five-speed shifter, all designed to create a civilized dri- ving environment not often found in sports cars. This is one sports car you can let your grandmother drive to the grocery store without worry- ing about her getting a back pain. One.of the most interesting aspects of the new Celica is its new styling. particulary at the front.

On the inside, the Celica follows the typical user-friendly design expected from Japan‘s largest. and most powerful car company. The base Celica is powered by a {.8-litre 110-horsepower four-cylin- der engine, while the GT version gets more firepower with the 2.2- litre unit, pumping 25 more ponies than the base model. The 2.2-litre four's 135. horse- power and 145 Ib.-ft. torque ratings are unchanged from the predeces- _ sor’s numbers, but thanks to the rig- orous weight reduction analysis which has reduced the weight by about 100 kg (220. Ibs.), the new Celica GT is peppier than its before. Sull. Toyota may have difficulty explaining some. buyers why the Celica takes about nine seconds to reach the 100km-h (62) m.p.h.) mark. while competitors like the Mazda.MX-6 LS, Honda Prelude SR-V, Acura Integra GS-R, and Volkswagen Golf GTi boast ‘much snappier zero-to-hundred figures for about the same money. In terms of the handling capabil- ities, however, the Celica is right up there with the best, partly due to the new .rotary-type power steering” valve. The new Celica's poised han- dling will raise your driving confi-.. dence a. notch or two and Icave a smile on your face’ after every turn. ” ‘The base, model come’ equipped with such features as power mirrors, cassette . stereo, tilt ‘steering, and 50/50 split seats. The GT. adusi power windows,: locks, the. larger engine, and 15-inch low profile tires. The .optional GT-S package adds even more items like dual “airbags, “ABS, premium stereo, sports seats, and cruise control. The price on the new Celica may be on the high side, but the Celica’s high level of refinement, smooth ... feel, and unbeatable reputation for quality can't be easily matched by _- every competitor. r 984- -7017 OUTSIDE LOWER MAINLAND , “800-661 7 01 7 CELLULAR LTD. 1234 MARINE DRIVE “NORTH VANCOUVER (FCGAMOTIVE™ TRANSMISSION SPECIALISTS A.T.R.A. - B.C.A.A, - A.R.A.
