Great car! The car handles great, has enough power to be fun. It's not for tall people however since there isn't much head room. Not a family car either.

Incredible seats and handling
Celica 85 GT-S was my first car and that could partially, but only partially account for why I liked it so much. It had just enough power to be fun, great handling and the most comfortable seats I've ever introduced my buttocks to. Didn't like at first how it looked but with time grew to love it as well. Because of its rear wheel drive it was really bad on the snow unless you used snowtires which I never did. The
car had about 180K miles when I bought it and I put another 70-80K on it without much sweat and repairs.
This car also saved my life once. I was driving in the left highway lane, about 80 miles/hour. The highway started veering to the right but I didn't. In the last moment I had to do a very hard right (90 degrees). What followed would make for a respectable movie scene. I managed to regain control after a few convulsions that took me all over the 3 lanes. I ended up on the right curb and all that had suffered was a stinky reflector light. Needless to say I learned my lesson: reflectors should be made of stronger material.
