1998 Toyota Starlet life review from Australia and New Zealand
"Very reliable and economical city car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The door handle broke on both the driver and passenger doors.
General comments?
This car is very economical and reliable.
There have been no problem's with it since new, except for the broken door handles.
The car is very nimble and nippy around town.
Using the air-con, really drains a lot of power from the 1.3L engine.
The car is quite comfortable for sub 6 foot people, but back seat leg room is very limited.
