1988 Toyota Tercel review from North America
"I love my car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Completely fried clutch.
Radiator dry rotted.
Mouse nest in the heater.
General comments?
I love it! It's cheap, fast for an economy car and economical. My brothers and I have dubbed it the "Tercel from Hell". All the problems listed above happened because my brother enjoyed running it at 80 mph down a dirt lane. I just wish it had a little more horse power, then Mustangs beware!
