1990 Toyota Celica All-Trac 2dr Hatchback AWD
I bought this car a couple of years ago
thinking "cool, a turbo charged all-
wheel drive celica", not realizing that
only 400 were imported into the U.S. in
1990. This car has been the most solid
and well built car i've driven to date
(i've owned a porsche and have driven
other "nice" cars as well). No major
problems have occured, and the engine
has 130k miles on it.

1990 Toyota Celica GT-S 2dr Hatchback
Bought my Celica GTS 5 spd brand new. Going on my 19th year. This vehicle I think will run forever. Oil changes every 3,000 miles. The paint has just started to fade but no rust at all. No problems with mechanics, replaced usual things ie: alternator, battery, timing belt, power steering hose etc. Believe it or not this car still has the original clutch!! Love it and would buy … another one.

1990 Toyota Celica GT-S 2dr Hatchback
I ordered my Celica in 89 and had it delivered in Pril, 1990. Drive it daily. Has over 300,000 miles and still going strong. Body is excellent original condition. I love it! It's fun to drive and it still gets looks and waves. I'm a 73 year young grandma!

Great little car

1990 Toyota Celica GT 2dr Hatchback
A fun car that is extremely reliable.
Only had to replace power steering hose
(a common problem, apparently). It is
fun to drive, but not a burner. Very
manuverable and quick; fits in tight
places. The overall design is ahead of
its time, especially the interior with
the climate controls on the instrument
hood. The space is tight but
comfortable, and the hatch has a lot … of
room.
