1993 Toyota Tercel review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In five years, the only problem is that the paint is bad. It is dried out and has lost all its luster. It continues to dissolve and is gradually coming off the car. Sometimes when I wash it a fine dust of the paint rinses off, coloring the water.
General comments?
Very reliable. I am a small person so it is comfortable for me, but would be snug for a larger person. The car has had no mechanical problems whatsoever and has about 45,000 miles on it. Pretty good accelleration. Excellent air conditioning. Good value, but no frills.
