1985 Toyota Celica GT-S review from North America
"A high performance vehicle at a low price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The son of the person I bought the car from is a teenager and he ruined the interior. So comfort for me is not that good in the Celica. Also I don't like the stereo set up that Toyota made for this car. The RocketPint steering is out. So the steering wheel shakes. Also there was no power steering fluid in the car.
General comments?
My Celica is very quick off of the line. I beat a 1995 Eclipse Talon in a drag race at Route 66 dragway in Joliet, IL. I love the car because it is sporty, I haven't had any problems with the engine except for a few minor things which got fixed and are running good. I own a 12" subwoofer which fits perfectly in the back of the Celica trunk. Also the Celica is a good sound car. I get more bass in the Celica then I did the Camaro. I recommend this car for performance sound to everyone.
