General Comments:

This car is very reliable.

The transmission and engine are still running smooth.

The A/C and heater are still working great.

While the gas mileage is good (30+ MPG), the Tercel is uncomfortable for road trips.

The car's body has very minimal rust on it. The factory paint job is still looking good.

Faults:

None at all this is a very good car.

General Comments:

This car is fast

This car has been running great since the day I got.

The only problem is that I have to buy a tach part so my tach can work on it.

Faults:

The seats are ripped and the dashboard is scuffed up, but that's because the previous owner hauled transmissions in it.

Other than that, it's perfect.

General Comments:

It's a base model 4 speed. Do not be fooled! This car hauls ass. It's quicker than the speeds.

It's also extremely economical, I get 42 MPG on the freeway, and still manage 32 when I'm driving it hard.

However its handling is lacking that Corvette feel. But what do you expect, it's a Tercel?!

Altogether the car is a great deal, and a perfect mix between budget performance and economy.

Faults:

The upholstery isn't holding up too well.

Other than regular maintenance, I've had to replace belts and a battery since I've owned the car.

General Comments:

This car has very good gas mileage and decent acceleration for the engine size.

It's a little small inside for a 6'2" person.

Faults:

I had to replace the rear shock absorbers at 110,000 kms.

General Comments:

The suspension is too soft for a serious driver. My small Fiat has a lot better suspension.

The roof is too low if you are tall.
