Good Points
Looks good with super build quality and reliability. Sweet engine - needs to be revved though but happy to do so and you can feel the power come on stream after 3500 RPM (Non Turbo)
Very easy to drive with good economy.
Bad Points
Very few - main gripe is if you open the tail gate when raining water drips in over back seat.
General Comments
1991 model standard Toyota Celica 2.0 GT. Owner for 6 years and never let me down. Nothing failed, only routine servicing items biggest being new front discs and pads required.
Handling is pretty good rather than terrific with the best driving experience being on B roads keeping revs at between 3/4000rpm. On windy roads best to stay in 4th gear as engine happy to rev up 5000+
Car is bright red and needs polishing regulary to keep shine. Although 14 years old, still looks good.
Has an excellent boot for a coupe and can carry 4 adults at a push - not ideal but this is a 2+2
