1993 Toyota Celica GT Convertible review from North America
"A fun and affordable sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to fix the following when I bought the car:
The trunk hinge was broken and really hard to find a replacement. How on earth does one trunk hinge break?
The power steering pump had a minor leak.
The plastic rear window needed replacing.
General comments?
This car is amazingly fun to drive. I love the rag-top and the sporty feel of the car. Low to the ground and handles very well for its weight. Good acceleration from the rather small (4 cylinder, 2.2L) engine. And the small engine means gas mileage is good as well- 22-28 mpg!
The stock 6-speaker stereo sounds awesome, but I did add to the system.
The AC works great, which I've heard is a common problem with a Celica this old.
There is no space in the backseat, but I never use it anyway.
