1989 Toyota Cressida review from North America
"The FIRST Lexus!! Excellent car for the money!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I must say I have never had any serious problems.
Power antenna stopped working-took 20 min to replace...
General comments?
This car is a TANK, let me just say that.
The Cressida is one of the best car's Toyota ever produced.
It's the best kept secret in the automotive industry and has always been a sleeper hit among Toyota fans.
You will be lucky to spot 1 or 2 Cressida's per year... thay are that hard to find. They are not your normal everyday car... they are a true collectors item in my opinion.
TOTAL LUXURY is standard in the Cressida. This car was way ahead of it's time. Some standard features on the Cressida are still not even in today's new cars... and this was 16 YEARS AGO!!
The car simply drives like a dream. You can go 90 mph on the highway and not even realize it.
It's spacious, quiet, comfortable, and extremely smooth out on the road.
I have reached 197,000 miles on my Cressida and it still drives like day one. FANTASTIC!!!
