1986 Toyota Celica GT-S review from North America
"I got the bad-nice car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bad engine noise.
Exhaust manifold practically fell apart.
Doors don't shut tightly.
Rebuilt the transmission twice.
New alternator.
New thermostat...
I think there are more.
General comments?
This car is so good looking, new paint, I wish it would have been a better car, but the problems just keep coming. I think either the previous owner hot-rodded it too much, or I got the bad one out of the bunch. Cause I know Celicas are generally reliable.
