1995 Toyota Tercel 2 Door Sedan review from North America
"Quick! Before you buy a Civic, look at this!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The seats are ripped and the dashboard is scuffed up, but that's because the previous owner hauled transmissions in it.
Other than that, it's perfect.
General comments?
It's a base model 4 speed. Do not be fooled! This car hauls ass. It's quicker than the speeds.
It's also extremely economical, I get 42 MPG on the freeway, and still manage 32 when I'm driving it hard.
However its handling is lacking that Corvette feel. But what do you expect, it's a Tercel?!
Altogether the car is a great deal, and a perfect mix between budget performance and economy.
