1987 Toyota Celica GT review from North America
"A quick, comfortable ride with excellent space and options"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Previous owner changed oil only every 20,000 miles. Engine began knocking at 175,000 miles or so. Power steering rack also malfunctioned. Otherwise, excellent car.
General comments?
I've had this car for almost a year and I absolutely love it. I have had the engine rebuilt and powersteering completely replaced. It is an excellent car made by an excellent company. The engine itself lasted longer than I had expected given its previous treatment. Overall, an exceptional car and I plan to keep this one as well as purchase others.
