1993 Toyota Vienta Ultima review from Australia and New Zealand

Battery suddenly died shortly after purchase (this has happened to me virtually every time I have bought a car).

Nothing else has gone wrong... so far (touch wood).

This is the Ultima model, and has all the fruit you would expect from a budget family car of it's era.

Although it's a V6, this car is not really sporty. If you want a racing style vehicle you want to get something with rear-wheel drive for starter's, and turbo (or a V8). However it is an interesting beast when you are overtaking something at speed.

Good for cruising, this car just eats up the miles. Pretty decent economy for a 3L engine, I have had the air-con on with all summer driving, also I drive up hills at speed and get caught in some bad traffic and I consistently a genuine 13.5L/100Km's or better, which is pretty good for a 1994 car.
