Its clear that Toyota focused on simplicity with the Caldina GT-T, and with a platform like the Celica GT-Four already having experienced great success, the formula for a “Celica Wagon” meant adding just two more elements; more doors and a hatch. With Toyota’s 3S platform offering a dependable, yet powerful option that was fitted into surprisingly few other vehicles that were vastly popular, like the Altezza RS200, the Caldina fits the triad of reliability, affordability, and power like a well made Vann diagram. Often overshadowed by its sibling, the Celica GT-Four, the ST215 Caldina remains exceptionally good value while sporting the same heart, drivetrain, and an inarguably more practical body style.
As mentioned above, the Caldina shares its heart with the Celica GT-Four, but the Toyota MR2 is yet another example that is popular globally. The 3SGTE has powered these icons reliably and the Caldina is no different. With 256HP on tap, the Caldina’s somewhat neutral body shape sports a lively engine that’s ready for all terrains. With a rally-bred heritage, the Caldina GT-T feels like the everyday, every use GT-Four.
Outside, a sophisticated two-tone separates the hot-hatch nature to fly under the radar. With simple and sleek curves, the Caldina doesn’t feel unfamiliar to Toyota’s lineup of other 4 Cylinder vehicle offerings. Subtle aero on all sides and a double hatch wing keep it from looking like just any other wagon on the road, and a large hood scoop sends cool air over the top mount 3S-GTE intercooler in the engine bay.
The interior of the Caldina feels complimentary of this hatchbacks nature. Popping colors and patterns cover a practical use layout that features items like a full rear privacy cover, OEM floor mats, and a simple driver layout. A five speed manual sits front and center and sends the 3S’s 256 HP to all 4 wheels, at all times. Unmodified, rugged Toyota materials have left the interior in excellent condition with no tears, rips, holes or major wearing on the seats or handles.
In a time where icons rule the front of magazines, undercover cars like the Caldina are cool to those who know them and create familiar similarity at a better value. So if you’re looking to get a powerful and practical JDM that fills all the criteria, you may struggle to find another option as giving as the Caldina GT-T, Parts are readily available, Toyota’s reliability means services will be straightforward, and with 4 doors and plenty of cargo room, you have a JDM hot hatch that can adequately double as a practical daily driver.
