1993 Toyota Celica GT-s review from North America
"Best car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced front brake pads at 75,000 miles. Replaced rear brake pads at 125,000 miles.
Replaced timing belt at 65,000 and 130,000 miles as directed by Toyota. Rear main seal was repaired at 110,000 miles, been fine since. Head gasket was replaced by dealer at 65,000 miles.
Power Antenna stopped working at 65,000 miles, drivers seat has rip in leather, cup holder doesn't stay stowed under CD player.
General comments?
This car has been awesome, money well invested for a 'rare' version of the Celica body style. The factory installed 10 speaker stereo with its 10" sub-woofers make for an awesome ride.
The Eagle GT-II tires stick to the road, and after 12 years this car still takes corners like no other.
