My Celica GT
I have owned this car for 17 years now. It has been very reliable but I think this car needs a more powerful motor. I have 2.2 liter and engine performance is very weak. It has the 5 speed and it takes about 12 seconds to get up to 60 mph. Gas mileage is only 13 miles city and 15 highway it now has 206,786 miles and it's still running good. I also have a Nissan 240sx 1993 with a 2.4 liter motor and this car makes the Celica look like its standing still.
Excellent automobile
145000 miles and still has a lot to go.Very well engineered car, other than one set of brake pads everything else in the car is the original ones put in the factory when assembled. Excellent performance, reliability and economy.
266,000 miles on original engine.
I put a short ram air on it and am consistently getting 40 mpg in San Jose CA The lowest speed limits here are 40 though so I mostly use 4th or 5th gear. I bought it with 235k on it and have put 30k in the last 2 years driving over a windy mountain highway every day. (highway 17 if you know it.)
Best car I've ever owned
Nearly 200K miles and it has never failed me! Never less than 30mpg, often near 40. Handles well and is very comfortable for a sporty car on long trips.
1991 Toyota Celica STX
Best car I have ever owned...or driven for that matter. I have searched for a newer car several times and can find absolutely nothing made as well as my Celica. Only paid $6900 for it when it was 5 years old. I have never done any major repair to this car. At the time I purchased it there were 69K miles on it. There are now almost 183K. I have replaced the brakes once and bought a new distributor cap. Less than $500 work total. A beautiful, reliable, affordable and efficient car to own!!!
