General Comments:

Seat still comfy at 310,000 miles.

Slower than a snail with a parachute.

37 MPG until the day I sold it for $400.

Faults:

Oil leaking from the distributor.

Leaking power steering somewhere, and transmission pan leaking oil.

General Comments:

Handles like a charm. Treat it like a Toyota and not a Honda, and it runs great.

Faults:

Maintenance issues only.

Nothing has gone wrong, items had reached their design life.

General Comments:

After reading some of the reviews on the GT-Four and GT-Four RC (CS), I wanted to give my opinion on the matter.

The GT-Four is an amazing machine. Over-engineered and extremely reliable. Radiators, rubber parts and items that take punishment because of the performance extracted from the car, will wear out. Therefore the need for maintenance. Just like any other performance machine.

The RC (CS for Carlos Sainz) model is the homologated vehicle for rallying, that was sold in limited numbers (5000 ever produced) and now found in the streets of UK/Germany, Canada (imported from Japan), Australia and other lucky countries. Parts are not that available given the special purpose of the car and the age, but if you are lucky enough to get your hands around one and maintain it, you should enjoy countless hours of racing performance, good Toyota reliability and excellent comfort for a performance coupe. Yes, it will consume gas and wear out the tires being a 4WD, but tell me which performance car driven to its limit does not...

The looks are unique. Most love them, some have different ideas...

I personally think it is one of the most beautiful cars ever made, I would recommend anybody to look at some videos online of this car rallying...

Something to fall in love with.

I had mine for 2 yrs and I take care of it. I enjoy it and take it to races and such, but mostly it is something to have fun in and appreciate, as one of the most beautiful engineering marvels from the 90's.

Tomorrow's classic/collectible under 50 grand...

If you see one for sale, BUY IT on the spot!!!

Faults:

Coil and distributor cap went.

Timing belt shredded.

Radiator blew open.

Clutch went.

Firewall cracked where the steering rack was bolted onto it.

Head gasket and valve cover gasket are weak, need replacing, they leak some oil.

General Comments:

The car is an amazing rally machine, pulls real hard for being 18 years old. The AWD helps so much in the snow, and in the rain; it's a blast to drive in both conditions as well.

It gives a solid feeling like it's bolted to the ground. Exhaust note is so low and awesome sounding, sounds like a after market exhaust at idle, but 4k rpm and over, all you hear is the engine noise.

The head gasket is getting weak, the car is losing its compression, so it doesn't pull as hard anymore. Overall great car to look at and to drive.

Faults:

I haven't had any large issues with my Celica yet.

Stereo messed up. CD player stopped working, then the cassette messed up.

Leather is slightly worn, but in good condition.

General Comments:

Lots of trunk space for a sports car. Especially with the back seats down.

Would like more back seat room. Front seat space is decent. Not TOO small, but could use more.

Have logbook & receipts of maintenance since the original owner.

Has only 78000 ORIGINAL miles. Owner took real good care of it and sold me it in great condition.

Its the complete opposite of the 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo I sold to get it. Both cars were great.
