1987 Toyota Celica review from North America
"Fun for anyone that doesn't want to have to worry about dinging up their car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery connectors got rusty, starter started to die, and previous owner didn't take to much car of the engine itself. It was covered in grease.
General comments?
For my first car, it was a blast. The thing was basically a tank. Really good control when rallying on dirt roads. My friend rearended me and nothing happened to my car, but his hood was bent up. Being able to fold down the back seats came in very handy sometimes (mostly when you don't want to give friends rides around).
