1991 Toyota Tercel S review from North America
"The best first car you can get"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blew a main bearing, but that was out of carelessness.
Nothing else mechanically has gone wrong with it, except it burns oil rather fast.
General comments?
The best little car anyone could own. Fast enough for anything with room for upgrades.
