Celica models with the 2.2-liter engine posted EPA figures of up to 36 mpg highway and 21 mpg city. Real-world results vary with driving style, load, and how well the car is maintained. The five-speed overdrive helps keep revs low on longer runs.
Factory guidance calls for service every six months or 6,000 miles. The design keeps routine jobs simple, and a large dealer network with computer-linked parts centers supports quick repairs. Early Toyotas have a strong record of staying on the road with basic care.
Standard safety kit covers power front discs with rear drums, steel box beams in the doors, collapsible steering column, padded dash, recessed handles, fire-retardant materials, electric rear defroster, day-night mirror, seat belts, and front/rear crush zones. An optional Electro Sensor Panel monitors fluid levels and brake wear on some grades.
