It's got Transmission problems, every-time that I drive it, it blows a seal or gasket and leaks oil all over my engine and then smokes off leaving a cloud of smoke behind it; and every year that it has to get smoged the catalytic converter has to be replaced and it costs around a $1000.00.Feb 17, 2015

Wow! A ton of fun! My second of seven Toyotas. Another one I would have kept if it hadn't been totalled - shouldn't have let my boyfriend borrow it. Definitely not just a "chick car." Certainly got a lot of attention!May 20, 2011

It is an oldie but a goodie. Older than my kids -- I bought it before they were born. Yes, I bought this car in 1985. It's white, has about 50K miles, is fun to drive and has been stored winter (all but one). It is really impractical and my husband says it's time for it to go. Will anyone buy it?Mar 04, 2011

Tons of fun to drive, but its 25 years old. It is quick, not fast. Good acceleration because of gearing.
I still need to replace lots of suspension components and get some huge bolt-on fender flares with spacers and lowering springs.
It is a boxy 80's car. With 112hp and 40mpg new. So now it has about 90hp and gets 23mpg.Jun 16, 2010

Epitomizes Eighties era imports. Most parts are kin to other Toyota's, keeping repair costs minimal, although chassis specific parts are becoming scarce (it is a 20+ year old model). Like most Toyota's, it is very simple to repair with basic hand-tools, that said, some service operations need to be adhered to verbatim; primarily service of the cooling system. General upkeep of the running gear is on par with imports of the era in both price and frequency. Fuel economy is also on par for a four cylinder coupe. Potential vehicles should be thoroughly inspected for rust, especially in the rear fender areas. Overall the appearance and layout of the interior and exterior is very utilitarian. Storage space is adequate in relation to the dimensions of the vehicle. Most accessory controls are within a fingers reach of the steering wheel. This car is not a power monster, however with its mid-engine layout and overall light weight, it is still a very enjoyable when taken on a spirited drive.Apr 09, 2010

Wimpy acceleration off the line, but picks up above 4k RPM. Great handling, easy to drive fast. Comfortable interior, excellent ergonomics and placement of controls. Great city or commuter car, easy to maneuver, easy to park, 30 mpg. And the trunk lid makes a nice tool shelf when you're working on the engine.

Solid handling car but the engine is definitely lacking power. 4AGZE is the next step plus some aftermarket suspension. Motor is reliable, trannys are strong. Overall great fun for the price, would recommend if you are looking for a fairly cheap sports car.Oct 25, 2009

Had this from the age of 18, had a full dtw track day
performance engine rebuild. Silicon pipes, kent cammed,
lightened flywheel, performance h.t's, full stainless exhaust
and had the ecu remapped. Sports springs so it handled like a
beaut, amazing fun on country lanes.. so much so i had to
stick it in a hedge.Aug 05, 2009

The engine was not built to properly cool itself. I had major radiator problems the entire time I owned the vehicle.Jun 29, 2008
