1988 Toyota Cressida GLX-i 2.8 DOHC Inline 6 cylinder

Summary:

Buy one if you see one!

Faults:

-Needed a new Alternator (after 220,000km+)

-Needed a new Steering Column (after 210,000km+)

General Comments:

-Very comfortable for a 16 year old car (there's been times where, on interstate trips I've slept like a baby in it)

-Very reliable for an older car (Had very little trouble with it since I bought it, and generally spend very little money on maintenance/upkeep)

-Quick acceleration (Especially with ECT mode, this car can even outrun quite a few of the newer cars on the road)

-Great Handling and Braking (Handles very well in all kinds of weather on all kinds of roads)

-Great Fuel Consumption (on a trip to Melbourne from Sydney, being just over 1000km, with a full load, plus passengers at an average speed of 100km/h the car used up only a tank of fuel, or approximately 65 litres)

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
