1992 Toyota Celica GT from North America - Comments

"A great first car!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Fan Switch (radiator) had to be replaced cause it overheated and the fan wasn't coming on to cool the engine properly.

A little oil always seems to leak after more than an hour of driving.

The air conditioning doesn't work, even though I knew this when I bought it. Although I think it just needs to be charged.

General comments?

The Celica is just great car even though they do have some little problems, usually they are nothing too serious.

The engine is extremely tough and can take well over 250,000 miles before they show any signs of needing a new engine, only if taken care of properly.

My car handles extremely well and can take those sharp corners and turns at high speeds very easily.

These cars make you feel very, very connected to the road and they are just a dream to drive!!

I agree... My 1992 Celica GT hatchback is a dream to drive, even on long (6 hour) trips. With cruise control on, you get 40.5 mpg. Even without cruise and running hard, you get 32.5 mpg highway. I have had very few repairs for 120,000 miles. Everything works. That's impressive to me. Helpful tip- only buy Michelin V-rated all-season radials for this car (rated to 150 mph). You will be very glad you did, trust me. Other tires I have tried, I would classify as totally unsafe for this car.
