1982 Toyota Carina Diesel review from Norway
"Slow, cheap and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A very reliable car for its age.
Did only change small things like brushes on the dynamo etc.
General comments?
This was my first car.
All of my friends laughed at me when I was ragging through town in a 55 HP diesel.
Not a perfect car for a youngster, but reliability and low fuel costs, gave me the opportunity to spend money on other things as well.
