1986 Toyota Celica GT review from North America
"This car has so much problems, but it'll get yourself to know your car more"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My tail lights are blown.
Oil leaked so massively that needs about a quart a week.
The seats are torn and the dash has cracks.
My power steering does that loud sqeeking noise.
My battery always fall down by the radiator fan.
The reverse gear does a loud sound when attempting to put it in gear.
The car dies out while driving and slows down and then it dies.
Air condition problem that leads to yourself stranded in hot summers.
Struts in front bangs loud on small bumps or dips.
The power windows, sunroof, and mirror motor dies out.
The keyhole in the trunk has problems so it ends up having without one (careful don't put thing in trunk you'll get jacked).
There is still more, but too many to list.
General comments?
The stock strut bar gives terrific handling on high speeds.
The car offer good acceleration, it beated a 98 civic coupe. Even though my car is ten years older, still most Honda's has no chance.
This car is only built for racing because many problems occur on this car. The motor is just the good thing on the fourth generation.
This car I bought on memorial day, may 31st and had many problems, but I got most of it fixed just need time to fix it. I know how to fix most part on this clunker, don't be fooled by ignorant ASE certified people that tells you bunch of bull and false information.
Need to know how to fix the problems on this car please contact me at therealg85@hotmail.com.
