1994 Toyota Celica Cabriolet review from UK and Ireland
"Good looking car, looks aren't everything though!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Persistent roof leak around rear window.
Rear suspension bushes worn, replaced.
Front drive-shaft failure, replaced.
Severe vibration after many hours on the road when driving back from Spain, (unsolved). Drove slowly for remainder of journey and never experienced it again!
General comments?
Bought as import from JDM. Well equipped and attractive 4 seat sports convertible.
Comfortable seating and nice ride. Good road-holding. Performance OK, but not that quick and needed reving to get it going, not very torquey.
Bought as a second car mainly for summer use. Other car V6 Laguna.
Given that we did not use it that much the repairs required were a bit disappointing. Left me questioning Toyota's build quality reputation.
Personally I consider my Laguna was a better built and superior car.
Sold them both now and bought a new Megane CC 2.0T. Much better!
