1987 Toyota Celica GT-S review from North America
"I'll recommend this car to anyone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radiator cracked right after I bought it (but the dealer replaced it free of charge).
The timing belt tensioner collapsed at 140,000kms.
I had a lot of problems with rust. The stock sunroof leaked and eventually stopped working.
General comments?
I absolutely loved this car.
It was ridiculously reliable. It always started up without fail.
It ran smoothly and idled like the engine wasn't even on.
The GT-S's performance is excellent. It has tons of torque and is very quick off the line.
This car barely cost me anything to run. It was very good on gas and the reliability (apart from the tensioner) meant that it was never in the repair shop.
