1984 Toyota Sprinter review from Australia and New Zealand
"Owning mountains since 1983!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really has gone wrong on its own.
Because I like to go sideways, I break a lot of things, but any car treated the way I treat it would.
General comments?
Look many people don't know, but the Ae86 sprinter is a one of a kind car; it dominated all its classes in racing, and it's the best for drifting and handling. It goes great and the chassis balance is superb, and nothing can catch it through the hills. It's the car that started the sport of drifting; now the fastest growing motorsport in the world.
Rhe car is a gem. I've had a 400hp Skyline in the past, but still it will never earn a place in my heart like the ae86 has. It's a beauty. Please buy one and care for it more than your son. They are a true beast and for sure the best ever car made.
