1988 Toyota Celica GT-Four 2.0 turbo

Summary:

Over-rated

Faults:

Vacuum hoses split.

Intercooler leaked coolant into the intake.

Rear suspension bush failed (major job)

Knock sensor failed.

ECU light on all the time.

Ran badly.

Loads of other minor things.

General Comments:

Not very impressed really. I can see why it would have been so good at the time, but it is over complicated for what it is. Really not worth sinking cash into.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I'm glad there are much people like this writer.

The more people who bring this extraodenary car to a junkyard, how rarer this car will get.

I own one and had to restore it for a whole lot of money, tree times the buying price.

Now it's perfect and it drives better than a 1992 Carlos Sainz.

The St165 is very complicated and even nowadays mechanics can't handel it.
