1982 Toyota Cressida Darwin review from Australia and New Zealand
"Best car I have and will ever own. Unbelievable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator blew because of a leaking powersteering pump.
Powersteering pump replaced.
Rear shockers replaced.
General comments?
Performance is awesome for the age of the car.
Handling is also very good.
The Cressida is still in prestine condition.
I recommend this car for first or second car buyers.
