Celica v
The Celica is my first car; I bought it with my own money together with my brother. We pamper and renovate the car, generally speaking, we pour our budget into it ;) The car might not be perfect, but for a first car, I highly recommend it - it's not too weak, nor too powerful... the only thing that bothers me is that the car is quite old. Besides, we bought the Toyota in not-so-good condition, the previous owner apparently mistreated it. Since we've been taking care of it, it's coming back to life.
Pros:
Great first car, Good balance of power, Revitalized with care
Cons:
Aging vehicle, Previous owner's neglect
