1987 Toyota Tercel 4x4 Wagon SR5 review from North America
"This is one of the best cars ever made!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace my carburetor at 92,000 miles because I had it in Italy and I was using leaded gas. That apparently plugged up my carburetor. I also had to replace my distributor at 148,000 miles.
General comments?
This car handles like a sports car, it corners very well and and has good acceleration.
This car also has excellent traction and you can load this car down!! I had four adults,6 suitcases and a couple of boxes on the roof; I was still going eighty miles an hour.
