1990 Toyota Tercel review from North America
"Reliable and peppy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It heats up if left to idle for a while, at say - the drive thru at the fast food restaurant. Can't figure out why this happens. I heard it happened to another Tercel owner. Any ideas?
"Bucks" sometimes when you just start driving it for the day.
General comments?
It's been reliable and I can't bear to get rid of it. Everything else is just fine.
