1984 Toyota Celica GT-S review from North America

"Cheap high performance import"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

First thing that went wrong with it was it got an oil leak from the valve cover. (Still did not fix no big deal) This happened the same day I bought the car.

When I bought the car it had a little bit of rust on the back quarter panels, but now it is more like what quarter panels.

Electrical devices started having all kinda weird problems. Clocks would stop working. Radio would only play once and a while. The lights started not to work either. Like 2 weeks later the problem seemed to fix itself.

General comments?

I just started driving not to long ago, but so far this car seems to really have a lot of power. Ain't sure exactly how fast it is, but I think it could go to at least what the speedometer says (130Mph) I am not sure though I've never had it out of 4 gear.

The car seems to be pretty comfortable. Seats are look to be for racing though. If your in the back seat all I wish you luck on getting out. In the front though you got lots of foot room and all seats fold down so you could sleep with your feet in the trunk and your head in the front seat. (never tried it)

The car is great on gas. fill the tank about once every 2 weeks. The battery on the other hand gets charged every month (car stereo)

All and all the car is sweet for only the $500 I paid for it.
