1997 Toyota Tercel CE review from North America
"An awesome little car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The windshield needs to be replaced, after a road trip at the end of winter.
That's all!
General comments?
This car is a dream! I have only had it for 2 weeks, but I am in love.
It's got a tiny little 4 cylinder engine, but I can still get it up to 180 km/h with no problems.
The seats aren't exactly the most comfortable for me, but I am about 6' 3" and I think that has something to do with it.
I plan on keeping this car for a very long time, and I'm sure that it will last for years and years.
