The 1985 Celica was the last of the rear-wheel-drive A60 cars, and Toyota listed a single engine for it that year: the 2.4L SOHC four-cylinder (22R), naturally aspirated and carried in coupe, hatchback and, on the GT-S, convertible bodies. What separates one 1985 Celica from the next is trim level, body style and whether it left the factory with the automatic or the standard transmission.

Known issues on the 1985 Celica. NHTSA lists no recalls for the 1985 Celica. Owners have filed 9 complaints with NHTSA against the year, and Toyota has issued 7 technical service bulletins for it.
The 22R's cast-iron block and plain SOHC valvetrain make it one of the more forgiving engines of its era to work on, but a car of this age rewards holding to the figures Toyota published for its own body style and transmission, rather than a clearance or torque value carried over from an adjacent model year.
