1991 Toyota Carina XL Matchplay review from UK and Ireland
"An economic, trustworthy car which is certainly recommended as a secondhand buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radiator developed a leak at 133000 miles.
General comments?
Good fuel consumption, still proving to be very economic.
Rarely requires water or oil top up.
Good volume of space for transporting, with back seats folded down and parcel shelf removed.
Comfortable size interior and simple to drive.
However interior decor is rather bland and the seats are rather firm.
