1992 Toyota Starlet GT Turbo review from UK and Ireland

"A 0-60 pocket rocket!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Generally wear and tear items never broken down.

Had to replace the ignition leads as the seals at the top had deteriorated allowing water into the plug housings causing it to misfire.

General comments?

I've owned my Starlet turbo for three years now with little problems at all generally wear and tear.

I can honestly say it is the best and quickest car I've ever owned to date and it's a rare car to own in the u. k with very few on the roads.

Its performance is staggering for such a small car with 0-60 times of 6.8 seconds it weighs only 860kgs, produces 136bhp and can achieve a standing quarter in 15 seconds as standard. Its power to weight ratio is staggering and can give most cars a run for their money, i just love the surprised look on many faces as I leave them standing.

It was originally imported from Japan and I have been the sole owner since first entering the country in early 1999.Since then I've done a few modifications to the car like larger diameter 15 inch wheels and tyres, induction filter,8.5mm silicon leads, turbo timer, brakes and an exhaust system.

I plan to keep this car for many years to come and until the mileage gets a little on the high side, but only then will I consider to buy a newer model like the Glanza V.
