I had the 1985 GT-S. I bought it in 1988, a few months before I turned 17. What slowed me down from doing the wheelies and such was breaking the rearend. We replaced it with the gears from an older Tercel. I totaled it out going doing a very large river flood plane hill. Flipped her through a little field area. Was wearing seat belt, and not injured. Except forgetting hit with Pioneer 6X9 speakers I had in the back window. This was in March, 1991. Wound up getting a 1988 Corolla next. My 85 looked like this one, but mine was not a hatchback. What do I drive 30 years later? A Toyota Tacoma TRD OffRoad! Had two Prius hybrids, too! A 2006, and a 2010. Trades both last 250K. Only challenges I have from Toyotas are their electrical systems!
I had an XR2 nd loved it but wanted an Mr2 Mk1 but never had one till now. 33 years later. Lovely car.
Always wanted that MR2
