1990 Toyota Cressida GLX review from Australia and New Zealand
"The best. Forget the rest"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air-con needed re-gassing.
General comments?
I bought my 1990 Cressida GLX (MX83 Sedan) last year from and old couple who owned it from new and seviced it regularly. I can't heap enough praise on this car. For a car with almost 220,000km on the clock, it drives beautifully and feels very safe. It is also suprisingly quick if you need it to be. I haven't had any problems. I also gives great fuel economy for a six(600km per 70L tank). Nothing compares to this vehicle for build quality and little luxuries (cruise control, power assist, air-con, power everything, remote central locking, alarm and immobiliser). And the price, only (AU$2500). Perhaps the best car I've had. She's and old dame now(17 years) but I love her and won't part with her until she dies.
