1990 Toyota Celica GT review from North America
"Outstanding quality materials"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing out of the ordinary except I lost 2nd gear synchro at about 150k miles (probably my fault).
Standard failures like clutch (90k), struts (?k), alternator (150k), cam seals (185k), power steering o-rings (190k), air-conditioning (170k).
General comments?
Inside and outside still in good shape though used. Bare metal outside can go years without rusting. Inside materials are also excellent. Brakes (no ABS on this model and year) are inadequate. I am considering buying another of the same vintage (the All-Trac).
