1988 Toyota Carina GL II 1.6 petrol

Summary:

This is a must keep car; with its trouble free history, I owe it that much

Faults:

No major faults other than general wear and tear of parts typically replaced at service intervals.

General Comments:

If it is on reliability alone, this car is sure to become a sought after classic.

I have bought a Carina II 2.0 diesel in 1988 (model '88-92), and I'm still driving this car... no comment needed I think!!!

She is always parked outside, rust is no problem, and the rubbers are very high quality!!

This car is by far the best!!!

1988 Toyota Carina II GL 1.6 petrol

Summary:

An excellent reliable saloon, but no sports car

Faults:

Slight misfire occasionally, solved by replacing the oil and plugs.

General Comments:

Overall excellent reliability for its age and especially its mileage.

Very roomy inside, particularly the back seats. Although very dark.

Considering the mark it was aimed at it is a fairly quick car, though the handling is spongy.

Not a bad motorway cruiser.
