1985 Toyota Tercel Hatchback review from North America
"I love my little Toyota Tercel! It's cheap, comfortable and reliable. Great Bargain for 1,500 bucks!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet...Hooray!!!
General comments?
I bought my '85 Toyota Tercel Hatchback from my father who sells used cars. I had asked him for a reliable car and he said he had one. He wasn't lying! It's not a looker but it is comfortable, cheap on gas and it starts every time, even in the blasting cold of PA.
It goes through snow great, drives smoothly and handles well.
It's not much on power or speed, but I have 3 kids now and my Trans Am days are over, (for now) Hee-Hee.
It only has 87,000 original miles on it, and is in Pristine condition, so I expect on having it for at least another 5 years...
