1992 Toyota Starlet GT review from Australia and New Zealand
"I would recommend anyone wanting a hatch to consider a starlet gt. Awesome car with lots of space!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump, spark leads, bushes.
General comments?
This car has been nothing, but completely reliable since the day I first got her. She also happens to be my very first car.
Has taught me a lot of things on maintenance and how to look after my car.
I poured so much money into maintaining her and modifications. This was due to the fact that she kept me out of a lot of possible accidents on the road (and although I got into a few minor accidents with her, I'm still alive and well haha)
Totally reliable and very cheap on fuel ($30 of optimax/ultimate 98ron, gets me around 350-400kms!)
Even for a hatch they're extremely spacious considering many other japanese imports are so small, cabin wise.
