1992 Toyota Carina XLD review from UK and Ireland
"Bought another 2.0 TD, seems to be just as good, easy to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch @ 150000.
Gearbox @ 200000.
Exhaust, on second!
Battery, on second!
Replaced front wheel bearings twice.
Still returning 50 mpg.
General comments?
Run as a taxi for 6 years, still using for private use. Can't bear to part with it.
Unbelievably reliable.
