General Comments:

My 1991 Celica GT now has 207,000 miles on it, and is still running OK except it only gets 11 miles to a gallon, and power is very weak. This car never really had much power from day one, but now it seems to be getting worse.

But after 207,000 miles, what can I say, it has been very dependable and reliable for the 17 years I've owned it.

It is a very sporty looking car that really looks fast, but it only looks that way.

General Comments:

I purchased this car for £500 without a lot of knowledge or background info, but I took the chance as I've always thought it's a nice looking car, the 2.0 twin cam engine is very responsive and really goes some when you put your foot down. I recently purchased some 7th gen alloys which gives it a much more sporty look. Handling is also very good in all types of weather.

The Cabin is in good condition and everything works as it should, it's a very comfortable drive, even on long journeys where there it just seems to glide along effortlessly, the fuel consumption I am greatly impressed with, careful driving or booting it a bit still returns very good MPG.

I've now had this car for just coming up to 7 months and I have had no repairs that have needed doing, its only been to a garage when they carried out the MoT where it passed fine with a couple of minor advisories such as a slightly bold tyre and a chip in the windscreen.

This car is amazing. It was my first car, and I love it. It runs great and if anyone is looking for a great vehicle this would definitely be it. My parents had a Corolla and a Mustang, but they cannot be compared to this wonderful car!
