1995 Toyota Celica

Great car for the Summer to enjoy the nice weather! This car is great to take a country ride or go for a ride along the coast.

I currently own this convertible, fully loaded. I do love the car but was surprised by all the little things that go wrong. Top isn't the best quality and they all seem to need replacing plus leak way more then I expected. The rear windows also are fragile, breaking guide rollers. Those aren't Toyota's reliability since the top is ASC. Still it drags down the fun factor. Paint is another issue and frequently the clear coat fails. Common to alot of mid 90 cars. Good news is replacement parts aren't too expensive, are easy to find (most anyway), and are shade-tree mechanic friendly. Performance isn't bad, but it's not a sports car. Ride comfort is pretty good even on longer drives. Interior is typical 90s, nice but nothing fancy. The bad being rear window switches on the center dash behind the shifter (very awkward location) these are also prone to failure. The cup holder that slides out of the armrest which is small and flimsy. It can not accommodate a 20oz bottle of coke due to the smaller opening. Poor interior lighting, with the only lights coming on when you open the door being 2 small red lights on the lower door hidden by the seat. So you enter into a dark car. The two overhead lights don't really light up anything either after you manually turn them on. Easily fixed with brighter LED bulbs. The good is that everything else is in easy reach of driver, works well and is common sense laid out. Overall a fun car that I would not hesitate to buy again.

This car was made Oct.1994. It only had the two front split axes boots replaced, a coil,a light that shows the gear its in, valve cover gaset, recommended service for timing belt, water pump,etc. and the alloy wheels during to damage. It uses no oil and has no leaks. It runs and drives as it did when new. All the light bulbs are original in lieu of the forementioned.It was made in Japan so the paint looks like new today. Back in its day it was not cheap to buy but the money was well spent.
