1980 Toyota Tercel review from North America
"A damn good beater!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch went when I first got it.
Seats are worn badly.
Half shafts are shot.
General comments?
The car is excellent for a student like me. I'm 16 and have a normal job and plates to pay. It's excellent on gas, but the half-shafts are cooked. My dad had one and he had to replace them also, must be a manufacturer's defect!!!
