1997 Toyota 4Runner SR5 review from North America
"A great car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The man I bought the car from told me that he had, had the starter fixed at 55,000 miles. As far as I know that is the only thing that has gone wrong besides a few leaks that were fixed easily.
General comments?
This car is such a great buy! It is very reliable and runs great. The only thing that annoys me about the car is how long it takes to "warm up." When you first start it after a long night in the garage the engine sounds as though its trying to make the poor thing go air born. I talked to the mechanic about it and he said this is perfectly normal and occurs in most of the later model 4-runners. The handling is nice and the power is sufficient. Over all I would say this is a very good car!
