1994 Toyota Carina XL review from Netherlands
"For private use maybe the best offer!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Was in use as a taxi without problems. After 125,000kms the seats were loosing their form.
General comments?
This taxi was only sold because it was -in fact- too small to carry four (big) persons.
Comfort, fuel consumption, etc... everything was OK. Our company started driving Toyota with the first Crowns in the 1960s. These could live on forever (when there was no such thing as rust). The Carina was a real family member. Very reliable, nothing spectacular!
