Toyota Celica owners have reported a total of 294 problems for their cars built in the 10 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Toyota Celica. The 2000 Toyota Celica cars have the most problems reported (130 problems).
| Model Year | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| 2005 Celica | |
| 2004 Celica | |
| 2003 Celica | |
| 2002 Celica | |
| 2001 Celica | |
| 2000 Celica | |
| 1999 Celica | |
| 1998 Celica | |
| 1997 Celica | |
| 1996 Celica |
The following chart shows the 21 most common problems for Toyota Celica cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's engine and engine cooling (76 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's power train (34 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Toyota Celica of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Celica model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Toyota Celica model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
Another way to measure the reliability across the model years of the Toyota Celica is to use the total number of problems reported during the vehicle's first year in service, as shown in the Table 4.
