1996 Toyota Levin BZ-G review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cheap, fast superb handling, You can't beat it for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
The Toyota 20v engine seems to operate similar to Honda's V-tec, for those that are familiar with those.
Drives like any other quick, small car up to about 5-6000rpm. From there up the whole engine sound changes and you get some real performance.
Extremly good handling for the money.
This car is faster than the 1600cc vtec Honda, but not as quick as the SIR Integra (1800cc V-tec)
