Little correction, some parts in the car are quite rare and hard to get. Mine spent 4 months garage bound because the previous owner munted the gearbox and it went after I got it. The gearbox itself was relatively easy to get and took less than a month, but the cables attached to it for selecting gears went too and that's where the majority of the four months went because they are very very hard to find

Awesome video! The internet is seriously lacking more professional videos like this on the Celica. I would advice anyone when looking for one, to check the state of the distributor and power steering pump as they will most likely fail after such mileage and age regardless of reliability. Mine had a very strong oil leak coming from the distributor and i had to rebuild it. Also the magnets in the ignition module can crack from the heat and age and could cause bad performance. Not that hard and expensive and if a guy like me can rebuild it himself, any one can. Same thing for the power steering pump. I should note these are not serious issues, just a matter of maintenance, as these parts contain rubber gaskets and rings that get dry and brittle over time. In this age and time, I guess, one can use all sorts of additives that maintain and rejuvenate engine internals, but back then... tough luck. Also a lot of the hoses get rock hard from age and heat and tend to crack, so change them with silicone ones. The air intake hose, especially, cracks and leaks air where it meets the throttle body on every single Celica i have seen. I would say its a very sorta "spartan" car in a scene, you can abuse it a lot and when doing something to the car you can apply or come up with different tricks to repair or patch things up and the car wouldn't mind. Both the 7A-FE and 3S-GE engines are bulletproof, can take massive amounts of punishment, and can easily reach 1mil. km with basic maintenance. Just never let the engine overheat if it's cooling system fails for some reason and you should be fine. Also never compromise on the brand when buying parts - always buy only and only Denso, NGK, AISIN and KYB, as nothing can match the reliability of OEM when it comes to Toyota/Honda.

I was told at $207,000 miles do not mess with the transmission or gear oil if you're not having problems. Does the 5-speed have transmission fluid or is it gear oil?

I am also having issues finding the connector/adapter to connect the factory fitting with the new radio.

Apart from that she is in immaculate condition and has only travelled a further 60,000 klm’s here in Melbourne in the last 19 years, we have had a lot of new cars come and go over the years and we still have a few cars but the old Celica has always been with us it has always been garaged and is arrow straight and still is a tight car, I doubt very much there would be a 37 year old Celica in this unmolested near original condition

Bit unfair on the "minus stars" from NCAP. When it was made - it was pretty good on safety for a mid-90s car. Those are times when crumple zones were already a standard, most trims had driver+passenger airbags after the facelift (the cheapest ones did not). That said - it was 20-25 years ago. And thus (and it applies to buying any and all youngtimers) the body rigidity is not what it used to be. On the mechanical side - the common issue with 1.8 engine (7afe) is burning oil. Then again - buying a sporty car with econobox-engine instead the 2.0 3SGE - you can only blame yourself ;)

I own a 92 celica, she is my baby but the the owner before me totally riced her out. She's on got coilovers and is lower than dirt (i raised the ground clearance so now instead of 3 inches its 5.) sounds way too loud because ofcourse it will with a strate pipe and the glass is cracked. But with only 100k miles on it and other than a few rock chips and the fenders need to be repainted it still drives so amazing. micanicly it's sound other than the occasional alternator and belts here and their. I will continue to drive it until I get another car to daily and after that I'm pretty sure i will keep this car for as long as I can and will continue to keep taking care of it 😌

Great review! I have 2 of these...a 97 GT and a 96 ST, both manual in liftback form. Not the fastest but very fun to drive and very solid feeling. They ride exceptionally well on the highway too....smooth ride for such small cars. And if you plan on trying to find a rust free example with perfect paint, your going to be looking for a very very long time. You might find one like that with an automatic, but good luck finding a decent one with a manual. There just aren't that many still out there to be picky about.

My 94 St bought 7 yrs ago, at 3250 at 215000miles, has served me well. No rust in California. Peeling got replaced with 1600 stock red paint redo. Timing belt, clutch, distributor, master cylinder, new struts/shocks, battery and alternator, even full coveraged not my fault but both insurance rackets deemed it salvaged, i proved them wrong and maintain clean title. Coached by advocate, also had alternate transportation> otherwise, 6 months fighting for my fair compensation might have been lost to the bogus tactics used by insurance agencies. Anyway, all together, probly 5 or 6gs including recent 80k engine replacement, i love this car and their value is increasing like crazy since few yrs ago

I have a 95 Toyota Celica 5-speed St and I love it. I bought it when it was 6 years old, it had 116,000 miles on it and now at the age of 27 years old it has 207,000 Mi on it. Of course I've had to replace the radiator power steering and struts and of course oil changes with oil filter for every 3,000 miles. My car runs like brand new. I wouldn't sell it for nothing. A lot of people give me compliments on this car. I do have a couple questions however hopefully you can help. Does it have an air filter in the glove box for the air and Heat? Also do you need to replace the transmission fluid if it's a 5-speed or is it gear oil? I was told not to mess with it since it has $207,000 Mi on it and it's not causing me problems. Oh yeah I've had the clutch replaced also.

@@italiangirl2440 That's awesome! They're really great cars. No in-cabin air filter....if you're having weird air smells inside with the air on, spray some Lysol into the air vents beneath the windshield while the fan is on full blast..that will kill the mold/germs in the piping. The gear oil should definitely be changed out if you have a 5-speed. I replace my gear oil every 50K miles...use something high quality, like Motul gear oil. If your're having any grinding noises while shifting into gear, I would also add an additive, something from Liqui Moly will help. My ST almost has 300k miles and it still drives great...enjoy your Celica girl! 😀

I have a 1995 Celica ZR (manual). It now has a little over 507000km. I bought it 2nd hand in 97. At this stage i've had no mechanical failures but did have a mystery intermittent electronic problem at around the 420000 mark. Turned out to be the ECU, got that one repaired plus I found an original replacement (2nd hand) so all good. ( Can not get new originals any more). I've only had one clutch change so far and that was at 320000km. The interior is still really good, just the scuff stitching tear marks on the driver's seat in the same location as in this video, except I restitch it when it opens up. Struts have been done a couple times and the mounting bushes as well, an alternator change. The engine is tired, feels flat & burns more fuel than it should. Normally I'd get over 12-13km/L of highway driving but these days it's lucky to get 10km/L, that's a bit over 100km difference per tank, so fuel consumption is pretty crap now. I'm looking at getting the engine rebuilt now. Then time for a respray & fixup up a few chips & body marks etc. It is getting harder to find some OEM parts now though as it seems plenty (if not all) parts are no longer being manufactured, so can take some hunting. If lucky you find new OEM parts from various places around the world that may still have stocks. I guess as copyright time passed then more of those items will appear from aftermarket supplies (like they do for the older Celica's from the 80's)

For a coupe yes, rear seays are practical, just dont try to cram tallest people in there. The fact that tall man like you can fit, then you can have it even for tall people for shorter distances. Shorter people especially women or children fit perfectly well. I had passengers in the back of mine plenty of times and if you're clever about it i.e. not putting tall person behind the driver and sliding front passenger seat forward as much as possible so both front and rear passengers have decent room.

I have a similar one. It's a 1.8 ST model. Registered in 1995. I bought it 16 years ago for £1400 with 100,000 miles on it. Now it has done around 227,000 miles not km. I use it daily or did until covid. The only body problem is a bit of rust on the bottom of the passenger door that keeps coming back so I sand it down and spray it every year. Other than that 2 small bits of welding underneath in the last few years. Typical MOT test failures cost less than 400 GBP to fix each year. One year its only failure was a rear number plate bulb. And it has got driver and passenger airbags. I often get people looking at it and commenting on it. I'm hoping to get it to 250,000 miles which should take about 4 to 5 more years. It has never been kept in a garage as my garages are full of stuff.

It's fuel consumption is around 12.7km per litre (7.87 litres per 100km).

Both were solid cars, the last one I sold with 240.000 km on the clock. None of the cars had any major mechanical issue, both were reliable even after being driven HARD. Parts and labor were pretty much the same for 90s Toyota. I’m looking forward to buying another one soon.

I had a 1997 ST204 (204 is those that have the 5S-FE engine) for five years. I was loving it because she was very honest and very willing to communicate with the driver. She was by no means a fast car, but handled brilliantly even on non-performance tyres, she gave good feedback via the steering on straights and corners and the way the body react to the steering input, especially composed in an emergency maneuvering like moose test. She was too good to modify in my opinion, and kept it original until I had to part with it. However, this generation of Celica tends to rust easily and quickly if the paint coat has been breached.

I want a Celica so so bad, they're one of my favorite cars. I found one in my home town (which is rare by the way, because of where I live) But it needs some new parts because the steering is nearly impossible, the engine was supposedly rebuilt, and some areas of the car are painted a different shade of white, not to mention there's rust, and when I checked the back seat there was an unhealthy amount of flies in the back, such a disappointment for me. Great review, btw.
