What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer’s opinion
The Celerio may be small but is well composed on the freeway with a heavy on centre steering feel while traveling at speed yet lightens up considerably while performing parking maneuvers, we can also tell you that it has a very small turning circle able to do a full turn in a narrow city street.
