the pre 2002 140 vvti can burn heeps of oil (stay far away)  try and get a Tsport, but any 190 vvtli will do..

Change the Cam/lift bolt first off or you'll be looking for lift..

Good cars, had 7 of them, 2x vvtli's.... if you want fun go for the SS111.... Beams.. yummy.

Right I been looking at getting a mk7 celica, either 140 or 190 model. Insurance is ok, but I wanted to know more about these cars from people's experience. What they like to drive, reliability, parts, common problems etc...

Getting bored of the mk4 golf every tom, dick and chav has one.

If it uses oil & is on less than 100k with history then take it to your local Toyota dealership & ask to do an oil consuption test,
You may be allowed a new short engine under warrenty

the 140 is slower than the yaris ts till the law is broken.

very snug interiors, no much good if you dont have bulimia
