1991 Toyota Tercel LE review from North America
"Reliable and cheap!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A broken pulley for the oil pump at 170,000km.
General comments?
Great, reliable and inexpensive transportation! If you are looking for a good city driver, this is a car for YOU! However, if you are somebody who does a lot of highway driving, this might not be a good choice. The 3 speed automatic gear box limits the top speed. I suggest the 5 speed manual.
