1985 Toyota Celica GT-S liftback Reviews
| “The Typical Mid 1980's Red 2 Door Sports Car (near Convertable) With An Electric Sunroof!” Everyone who has driven the "toy" loves it. I bought it to enter it in off road rally events and car club activities but it's in such great condition for a 25 year old car and it's so much fun to drive on the road that I can't bring myself to thrash it on the dirt. I have decided to keep it tidy, original and have fun on the road instead.
Pros —
fun, well built, tuff, electric sunroof, sporty, drives great, plenty of power, great on fuel, easy to look after
Cons —
body has a few scratches and marks, 25 years old, no power steering

| “Pure Fun” This was SUCH a fun car to drive. The car is low enough and the wheelbase is wide enough that the car cornered on rails. The manual transmission is a must. It's the only way you get to *feel* the car as you drive.
Pros —
~Fast and fun to drive
~Corners beautifully ~Very reliable
Cons —
~None

| “Strong And Sporty”

| “My Favorite Car I've Ever Driven.”
3rd generation Celicas are stupidly reliable. engines are known to well outlast the car. GT-S have Supra suspension designed by Lotus and Supra brakes, so handling is tight and precise and brakes are more than adequate. Liftbacks have the timeless, streamlined looks so they are definitely sexy cars. Interior is filled with features and comfortable.
Pros —
Handling, braking, acceleration, appearance, extremely reliable.
Cons —
Hard to find parts, low top end power, rust issues (from being 20 years old)

| “I Love It.” Its my daily driver car is amazing and you can fish tail the car on fast u-turns.
Cons —
timing chain needs to be replaced at 130k+ miles

Glad to see others have found out about this great car Toyota made. I am the original owner of a 1985 GTS fastback (often called the li'l brother to the six cyl Supra)
