1990 Toyota Celica GT review from North America
"A super-street high performance reliability machine OUT THE BOX!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far there has only been required maintenance to be done on this little shiner. I had to replace the tires shortly after I got the vehicle, because they were running bald on the inside. Still needs an alignment. Also, the power steering pump is probably going (makes loud noise) and there is an A/C nob that broke off. Leaks a LITTLE bit of oil on start-up, but only because the former owners didn't really take that great of care of it.
General comments?
This car is the nicest car I have ever owned. It was a gift for college, but the price was about 3000 dollars US. It had some minor body damage which I want to fix, as well as get a new paint job and a few performance upgrades. Before all that can happen though, I have to keep in good shape. Shouldn't be a problem though - this thing runs like a champ, has great pick up and go, and is super easy on gas. 450+ miles on ONE TANK!!! its amazing. Japan really knows how to please their customers. If I go to buy a new vehicle in the future, Toyota will be my first stop. UNBELIEVABLE VALUES!!!
