1992 Toyota Celica GT review from North America
"The car is as close to perfect as a car can be"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil Pump Seals
Steering Rack Seals
Power Steering Hose
Clutch Hydraulics
Radiator (twice)
A/C Evaporator valve.
General comments?
This car is ultra-reliable. The things that have gone wrong are simply rubber deteriorating over time. I consider this normal, expected maintenance. About the only complaint I have is it's needed two radiator replacements. The Evaporator valve is a recall item.
The driver comfort and fit are impeccable.
The handling is perfectly balanced. I don't push it to its limit, but under all driving conditions it's solid on the road and a dream to drive long distances. It's very hard to get into trouble with this car.
After all this time and all those miles, it still runs like brand-new. And looks close to brand-new.
Dealer service is outstanding. Toyota service department know how to find problems and fix them right before the cause a real problem. And, at least the dearer I go to will deal with repair prices.
