1995 Toyota Carina Solair review from UK and Ireland
"Ugly as sin, but will do the job well"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air conditioning has needed yearly servicing at a high price.
Electric sunroof has needed servicing three times during ownership of car, but it was installed as an added extra by previous owner.
General comments?
This is a very dull car.
Very comfortable seats with room for 4 6 tall foot adults in front and back seats.
Unrestricted head room in front and back.
Very well laid out interior.
Looks like a bit off a pudding, but handles well.
It is a very dull car to drive, but will get you from A to B safely, comfortably and reliably.
Very good standard sound system.
Excellent brakes.
Servicing is expensive, but the car is nicely valeted and clean when returned.
Has little or no character, but is very sensible.
