1995 Toyota Carina Executive review from UK and Ireland
"Grandad gets a grey Ferrari!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has needed new brakes on 2 occasions, and various small things which cost lots to replace through a dealer. I have had new headlamp washer jets fitted as they have broken at a cost of £30 each!
Now I can't get in through the drivers door. I have to open it from the inside. My local dealer says it'll cost £400 to fix! The car isn't worth £400!
General comments?
This car is huge. It's much bigger than, say, a Vectra, and you can fit a whole cottage in the boot, and yet it's as nippy and fast as a Renault 5 Turbo.
