1994 Toyota Carina Executive review from UK and Ireland
"A seriously reliable, comfortable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace brake cylinders and disc's.
The off-side front window guides are worn such that the window does not seal properly at times.
General comments?
Reliability has been excellent, this car has not let me down in over 5 years.
It is a large comfortable mile muncher, with relatively sporty looks.
Handling is not exactly one of it's strong points, though adequate in most conditions.
When worked the engine responds well and for a large car it is quite lively.
The build quality of this car is like nothing I have owned before. For example it still has the original exhaust and battery, the paintwork is in excellent condition and the interior is like new.
