1986 Toyota Tarago DX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great family van, extremely reliable!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump recently replaced. was the original one from manufacture date! the alternator was recently reconditioned at $275 as it is a special kind. The catalytic converter goes every 50,000.
General comments?
This is a great family van. The room is unbeleiveable and can be used to carry large things such as a refrigerator. The ride is relatively smooth although could do with better suspesion. The motor is extremely reliable and never misses a beat Along with the auto transmission, the overdrive really works well up hills (it is only a 2.0litre!). The handeling is great and has a very big turning circle. The paintwork is still ver shiny and in great nick. All in all a excellent vehicle, reliable, comfortable and affordable. I would strongly recommend it.
