1987 Toyota Starlet GL review from UK and Ireland
"Quick reliable car and cheap to run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Back wiper broke down-easily fixed.
Points on the engine blew.
Changed engine at 127,000 miles.
Boot welded due to rust and the wings also replaced.
Tendency to burn oil.
General comments?
Getting 37-40 miles to the gallon for a 14 year old car is great.
Handles brilliantly with 15''T.S.W. alloy wheels (195).
Seats weren't great so I put Sprinter seats into it.
Fast for a 1 liter getting 105 m.p.h. on a straight road.
Parts are easy to find and cheap.
