1985 Toyota Tercel review from North America
"Reliable, cheap, and perfect for a kid on a budget"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Car ran great while I was in college. However, the car hated the cold, and needed to be jumped during the winter. Also the interior didn't survive its former life in Nevada, and was shot when I got it.
General comments?
It was cheap. Perfect for a college student. It was reliable as well. The car also became the subject of lore at my college. We called it the danger kart.
