Celica GT 1.8L 4

  • Manual transmission
  • 76,000 miles

This is my second Celica and my last Toyota. I had a 1990 Celica that I should have kept. It would have lasted a second 180,000 miles. Instead, I have a 2003 with a little over half that mileage and I'm spending almost half its value to fix. Not sure what has happened to Toyota...

(reported on)

Celica GT

  • 75,000 miles

At 75,000 miles the transmission needed to be rebuilt and with new bearings and gears. The mechanic told me that recently 3 other celicas with just 60,000 miles came in with the exact same problem.
