1992 Toyota Celica GT review from North America
"Reliable and sporty import"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Serpentine belt sliped, but did no damage at all to the engine. The Total cost including labor was $146.00.Apart from that I have done nothing to the car except put a new set of tires on and changed the oil every 4,000 miles.
General comments?
A great little car with surprising performance and great fuel economy.It's a bit cramped inside, but not uncomfortable. The trunk is huge for such a small car. If you need parts most are avalable off the shelf at popular parts centers. The car has no rust at all and turns heads. The only fault I've had was due to the original owner never replaced the Serpentine belt and it got old and slipped which knocked the timing out. This was a simple fix. The car is 100% reliable which is more than can be said for the Chevy Malibu that it replaced.
