1994 Toyota Tercel Base review from North America
"The Tercel has been a solid little car for us!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Started using oil at 100,000 miles.
Dome light never worked right.
General comments?
Cheap to feed, gets an honest 35 mpg no matter how hard you flog it.
Never left us stranded, no breakdowns, no major problems.
Ours is the base model. No luxury, just dependable transportation.
