1990 Toyota Celica GT 5S-FE from North America
Summary:
Outstanding quality materials
Faults:
Nothing out of the ordinary except I lost 2nd gear synchro at about 150k miles (probably my fault).
Standard failures like clutch (90k), struts (?k), alternator (150k), cam seals (185k), power steering o-rings (190k), air-conditioning (170k).
General Comments:
Inside and outside still in good shape though used. Bare metal outside can go years without rusting. Inside materials are also excellent. Brakes (no ABS on this model and year) are inadequate. I am considering buying another of the same vintage (the All-Trac).
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

How did the car act when the 2nd gear synchro went out?
