It just keeps going, and going, and going

Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Hot little number
Cons: Padding in the bucket seats is THIN
The Bottom Line: Small and sporty, classic streamline look, very economical. Mechanical quality that made Toyota a world leader in auto manufacturing.


The Toyota Celica Supra and my Toyota Celica GT are the same basic vehicle - the sports car of the Toyota line. The model I have has the R22-E imported motor, EFI far ahead of the competition, and sound as a dollar.
I have owned this auto for 7 years and put many a mile on it. I got it with low mileage, and it's only up to 146,000. For a Toyota, particularly with the imported engine, that's childhood. Of the numerous 80's model Toyotas I have conversed with people about, they rarely need any engine maintenance until 200-300,000 miles, when most get a valve job and then go another 200-300,000 miles before the next one. They are made to last.

This model also surprised me with options; rear window defogger, tilt steering wheel (primitive, but tilt), and cruise (on a 5 speed manual tranny). It still performs smoothly and handles GREAT, holding hills and corners like a cat.

In seven years, the only repairs made were 1) alternator, 2) muffler, 3) water pump, and 4) battery. Not bad for an old lady.

The only drawback I can't cure with a cushion seat is that it likes to form rust on the rear edge of the hatch; it's the first place to rust on this model. But heah, 15+ years out in the rain can do that to you.
