1993 Toyota Celica GT-Four All-trac review from North America
"GT-Four, The Best Celica All The Time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaking Power Steering, noise when cold 33000 miles.
Overheating, need new radiator, water pump, cylinder head & gasket @ 61000 miles.
Power Antenna stucked twice.
Need new Idle & Tensional Bearings when it had 82000 miles.
New AC Compressor @ 99000 miles.
General comments?
Even though I had some problems, I am very satisfied with my Celica GT-Four. Generally it's very reliable for a high performance all wheel drive sports car which I love to drive it hard & enjoyed.
Steering is communicative and sharp. Handling is solid & predictable, with little understeer at limit.
Powerful and torquey engine. Very excellent and short distance braking.
Interior feels luxury, with leather seats and System 10 Premium Sound.
The liftback trunk and folded rear seat make it very practical. Maintenance and insurance are quite expensive, but worthy. Great looking and very rare car. This is the World Rally Champions car for daily use. ST185 GT-Four is the best Celica ever.
