1997 Toyota Tercel CE 2 door review from North America
"Best car I have ever owned, PERIOD!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
An alternator at 68k, otherwise.. No Problems..EVER!! NO warranty repairs at the dealer in 5/50K! I do ALL my own maintenance, have all records since day one! Oil/filter every 1.5k (only 3 quarts!).Tune-up once-a-year.
General comments?
Rock solid, easy to maintain, a wonderful car for the money.
