They are rubbish, slow and really heavy on fuel. I had one 18 months ago foe about a year and ended up swapping back to an XE Nova!

Something wrong with Cav turbo if it was doing that mpg. Used to get 16mpg out of my Celica, grossly overweight.

Looking for an engine out of one at the moment to put in my mk1 mr2 though as speed and economy would be far better in a car half the weight of the Celica.

not a bad bus, but they have a few nasty engine issues, the plain fact is, get one with as low miles as poss, in as std as poss condition, and look for fsh. coolant changes every 3 years and sub 10k oil and filters are a must. any more info pm me. 89-90 should be a very early st185.
