1988 Toyota Cressida review from North America

The A/C is out of juice, but that can be recharged.

The oil gasket leaks, but that doesn't affect performance. The only thing about that is that you have to regularly check the old and it guzzles more gas.

The interior is falling apart, dash is cracked, but that's from the many years of abuse.

The paint job needs a touch up.

The hood doesn't stay up on is own now.

The fuses for the radio and some no essential electronic component blow out.

Too many interlocking components which make for hard installation of new parts, like speakers and stereo.

Stock alarm system goes off if the car is unlocked from the driver side by a key.

Ignition is loose, key can be pulled out when car is still on.

This car was my first car and it's wonderful. It requires little care and is super reliable. All the problems are common with most cars over 100000 miles. There's plenty of power left in this old boy, I can still dust some of those new civics or integras on the streets, and the is also ECT for added power and performance. The interior is very luxurious and convenience with many accessories. There's power locks, windows, seats, and mirrors and automatic headlights. The is cruise control and standard ABS. 4 wheel disk brakes. The gauges are digital so is the stereo and with Alpine speaker stock. A huge trunk and the interior is also very roomy with a sun/moon roof. This car is truly a luxury sedan and it's especially incredible because it was produce over a decade ago.
