1992 Toyota Celica GT Convertible review from North America
"It will be hard to part with my reliable, loyal Celica when the time comes."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The AC compressor went out which was very expensive to repair. Just recently, the evaporator started to leak.
I've replaced the retractable antenna twice due to antenna motor failure.
Oil leaks, oil leaks, oil leaks despite gasket replacement. And the power steering leaks, too.
The factory CD player and tape player do not work, but hey-the car's almost 11 years old.
I've replaced 2 of the power window switches due to contact failures.
General comments?
Even though I have plenty of repairs in the history book, this car has only actually broken down on me once (the timing belt) in 8 years of ownership.
The things that have gone wrong with it over time have mostly been cosmetic problems, however have been very expensive to repair/replace.
I still get admirers even though the car is over a decade old.
