1998 Toyota Starlet S review from UK and Ireland
"An absolute dream!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None whatsoever.
General comments?
This car is an absolute dream. It drives superbly and is comfortable even on long journeys.
The fuel economy is excellent, 40 miles to the gallon around town with ease. I have had 48 miles per gallon on a long journey before.
It is also plenty fast enough with its 0-60 at 11.2 seconds, being able to keep up with traffic, not only at the lights, but also on the motorway.
There is plenty of room inside the front and the back seats are large enough to be comfortable on any journey.
All in all I would recommend this car to anyone.
The only bad thing about this car is that they have stopped making it. I would have another straight away.
