1991 Toyota Starlet Friend review from Netherlands
"A must-have"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing out of the usual. Had to have rear wheel arches bended for bigger rims/wheels.
General comments?
Excellent car! Reasonably fast, reasonably efficient, very reliable! Although my previous car (Citroen AX) was more efficient than my Starlet, I can drive with a warm feeling now. That means that I don't have to worry it will break on me whenever I'm on a long journey... Minor bad point is that here in the Netherlands, there isn't a lot of after-market choice in performance parts or body parts. Ah well, if you ain't got two left hands that will eventually turn out not to be a problem!
