1998 Toyota Starlet S review from UK and Ireland
"Nippy and reliable, a perfect small car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cigarette lighter stopped working. This was fixed under the warranty.
General comments?
Drives superbly for a small car and is comfortable on long journeys.
The fuel economy is excellent, 42 miles to the gallon around town.
Quite quick for the size of the car.
Very well made, I have never once worried about breaking down.
