CJ Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I am looking at a cheap Celica SS2 Auto import (1993) to use as a runaround. Does anyone have any experience of owning one of these? Any major problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I had a 1995 manual import. As you would expect from Toyota they just do NOT break down and super reliable! Nippy little thing it was, at least that's what I thought until I bought the Supra! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I had a 1990 GT UK manual the model with the pop up headlights for a few years, 166,000 miles when I sold it and it was totally reliable never had a problem. Feels light compared to the Supra, I used to think it fairly quick and nippy, 28 MPG nice run abouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotasuprauk Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 The later shape to the one I had, should be a good car for your roundaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefgroover Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I have owned 2 gt's and 2 gt4's. They are bulletproof, never let me down, only things that seem to wear outside normal service parts are rear anti roll bar bushings, if they are driven hard. Enjoy it!.
