1997 Toyota Carina XLi review from Russia
"Good choice for a not expensive second hand car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to change rear shock absorbers,
suspension rod bushes,
clutch disk seems like going bad,
noisy gear changing,
1,6 engine is a bit weak for that body,
General comments?
Everything is OK, large inside,
a little bit noisy while running, suspension comfort is above average, but not perfect, Avensis is much better.
Good family car. Low fuel consumption.
