1982 Toyota Celica consumer reviews

I own a 1982 Toyota Celica, it's a dream. Even at this age it draws looks on the road. (The credit goes to my mother-in-law, who kept it so well.) The power is still good, the mileage is excellent, The lines are great, the styling is a nice contrast to the cookie-cutter cars of today and the features such as seats, compartmental storage and interior lighting are thoughtful for the driver. The rear end on the later Celicas have a full flair, mine only flairs at the brake lights, but we can't have everthing now, can we? It has its shortcomings, such as no CD player, but in 1982 CDs didn't exis. The radio sound has gone tinny and buzzy, but that's on me to fix. Good looks, good driving, and the satisfaction of keeping a car for 29 years. A pleasure to drive and to own.
