1991 Toyota Cressida GLX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Too good to be true"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far, only bought it recently.
General comments?
Amazing value of money. I bought it for $3,000 AUD and it has everything a newer model car has. Only this one is quieter, has more class, and has to be the smoothest car available...still.
Pace under full throttle - this thing gets up!
I'm aware of the head gasket issues and am monitoring it all the time - careful not to push it for lengthy periods. Admittedly my previous car being a turbo R33 Skyline (pinched) I am a bit of a junkie for performance and intended to buy a sports car at the end of the year-Don't think I'll be able to justify spending 10 times the amount on a car after experiencing this Cressida GLX.
Interior is indestructible.
Paint work and condition - impeccable.
Performance - more than acceptable.
Mileage, not an issue.
Overall build and ride quality, Outstanding (I was a professional vehicle detailer) these cars were made to last forever and no wonder they stopped making em, no one would upgrade!
Awesome machine.
