1999 Toyota 4Runner review from North America
"4runners are great cars and will always be."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Being a 22 year old college student with a 99 4runner basic 4 cylinder since I was 16 has been a great experience.
Problems I've had was once the starter broke down on me and had to get it towed. And I had to replace my battery once.
Other than those $500 I spent for breaking down on me, nothing else in 7 years. I haven't even properly maintained it, being that I received the car in high school and still have it through college being broke. Still when I get a chance I take care of it within my budget.
General comments?
This car is so low maintenance its unbelievable. Being that it is a 4 cylinder, the gas runs a long long time compared to what these newer cars demand. Being a student, maybe you can understand how much it makes me appreciate the car.
Right now I have 110,000 miles, but it sure as hell don't feel like it. I plan to keep this car for a while, I highly suggest anyone looking to buy a used 4runner to do so. You can have a great looking, dependable truck and highly economic without it being a small boxed in civic or something.
