Summary:
Best car out there!!!
Faults:
Well I bought this car for 400 bucks, it had sat for 2 and half years, but it did run.
The tank had rust, so I cleaned that out, after putting in 100 bucks to get it running.
After that it's a solid car, but it had a leak, and now I have to rebuild the engine. Does have some rust on the hatch, but it's not that big.
General Comments:
It handles freakin' amazing.
This is my very first car that I bought and put it my name. It's always started, I drive over 100 miles per day, and it's never let me down.
It's fast, I raced many Hondas and always won, the RWD is great on turns, and you have more control when you are driving.
I upgraded the stereo and speakers, I've been replacing the inside parts to make it look better, but I love this car.
Now I'm getting ready to rebuild the engine and rebuild everything in the car. Can't wait to be driving my baby again, it's the best car I have ever owned, and I will keep this car my whole life. I would tell anyone to buy this car, it's worth the money.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Every parents nightmare - the thought that their child might be off somewhere racing around in a 25 year old car with over 200,000 miles on it - or racing around in any car for the matter.
My suggestion is to give up cars and walk - the roads will be safer for ALL of us if you did.

"This is my very first car" "it is the best car I have ever owned"... all in the same review. Couldn't anyone say that truthfully? I mean if it is all you've ever owned, it would have to be the best, no matter what, right?
Seriously though, slow down. You are very unsafe to be driving fast in an old car like this. I hate to see young kids racing around thinking they are invincible. All it takes is one lightning quick mistake and you are done in that car. It is old and will crumble like tin foil on impact.
Stay slow... you've got a long life ahead of you to enjoy.

I have the same model. Even now, running it in Australia, it is amazing. It's the second car I have ever owned, and it has been reliable. I drive around 150 kilometers a day, and these people bagging that they're old; I drive it through the hills of Adelaide every day, down 100 kph roads, and the handling is supreme. The people that are whinging have obviously never driven one. I have never broken down, and never been in an accident; stupid people cause accidents, not racers.

I owned a beautiful 77 Celica GT. Great Mustang styling. I quit buying them as the 80s design was the pits. I switched to the still Datsun 280zx in 82. It would be nice if Toyota redid their 70s Celica design again today. Like the domestics have, such as the sharp Challenger. If the drivetrain could be reliable, it would be a great car to buy again.
