1991 Toyota Carina XL II matchplay review from UK and Ireland
"A great deal of reliability and economy in a cheap secondhand car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The battery had to be replaced at a cost of £42.
There was a minor oil leak from the filter seal, which was cured by replacing the filter.
General comments?
This is a very economical car to run and continues to perform at better than 40 miles per gallon.
It is a rather dull car to drive, and "16 valve" emblazoned above the boot lid spoiler all looks rather ridiculous when it is outpaced by many vehicles lacking spoilers.
