Positive Review

"Sharp handling, rare, best Celica ever"

The Celica All-Trac / GT-Four (ST185) is a road version of world rally winning car that can be driven easily for daily use. Control is excellent, driving position is comfortable, steering is very accurate


VS

Critical Review

"It gets you by"

Dependable, but doesn't keep value whatsoever. Slow to pick up once you put pedal to the metal.

29 years and over 200,000 miles
Pros

reliable, economical smooth engine

Cons

roof and paint did'nt last 30 years :)

1993 GT convertible... i've bought it in 2006 from USA so no rust (I live in Canada) . Engine won't die over 200,000 miles now and almost 30 years !! Had to replace some gasket (oil drop) at the beginning but nothing unusual after ! Have to let go (replacing it with a younger convertible .. eclipse spyder 2009 ) my celica roof is a mess (original roof so imagine ) ...steering fluid leak ... mice winter habitat under the hood :) ... and celica will be classified "antique" next year in Quebec so will be limited for country roads only... 2006 to 2022 years of summer fun at almost no cost ! just beautiful memories .. RIP celica ( her career is not finished... will probably be a 1st car for my friend 's daughter who will learn driving with it ! cool car for a 1st car ?

Toyota Quality
Pros

Cheap to keep, handles fantastic

Cons

Mid level performance

The Yost girls used this car through highschool and college. Both are off raising families so i decided to restore the mechanicals, rag top, and refinish. New long block, AC, rack n pinon, tie rods, struts, strut towers, racing seats, wheels & tires, alignment, slotted drilled rotors, and pads. Original Stainless exhaust is perfect. All I can say is I am truly amazed at how well this car handles. It is light car and can transmits large bumps to your body but not nearly as bad as most compacts on the market. I have another Toyota with 285,000 so no concern about getting 150,000 more out of this ride. Toyota "Oh what a feeling" to keep the "barbie car" in the family.

1991 Celica
Pros

fun to drive and good mileage

Cons

cup holder in front of the radio...

The Celica is actually a 1991 not a 1993. I am the original owner and it is a great small sports car. Great mileage, rides well and very little maintenance problems.
