1988 Toyota 4Runner SSR review from Australia and New Zealand
"It looks great, extremely reliable and economical - buy one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My car has independent front axles and unfortunately the front right axle has lost some bearings and thus is slopping around in its casing.
Rear window and wiper are causing several trademark 'clunky' faults. Drivers electric window stops halfway up.
General comments?
My car is actually a Surf, but they are practically the same. Overall I love my Surf, great little Turbo Diesel engine.
The plastics are typically 1980's quality, but is is my favorite car.
I sometimes drive it like it's a sports car, which I shouldn't do I know, but it goes really well.
I am a big fan of the really tight steering.
All things considered, for the age of the car and all, I would rate the car at a 9 out of 10.
