1989 Toyota Tercel Hatchback EZ review from North America
"Great town car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had this car almost a year to the day. I have only had to have a headlight, muffler, and a device that holds my springs and struts up on my car (I can't think of the name at the moment) replaced. I had to put an oxygen sensor in it also.
It had good acceleration, but it gets worse when there is more weight in the back of the car.
Seats are ripped.
General comments?
It's a great car and I get great gas mileage, 25 in town and 30 on the highway.
It's a great car for small people, or someone who doesn't have a lot of money to pay for gas and repairs.
The paint job on it is good. Nothing on it is rusting. It has a few scratches, but for the most part it's great.
It gets me where I need to go with no problem.
