1997 Toyota Tercel review from North America
"Dependable and economical"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A leaking engine seal that was repaired under warranty.
General comments?
Just a great way to get from point A to point B cheaply and inexpensively. The front seats are comfortable for two adults when there are no adult rear seat passengers.
I have four studded snow treads on this car and it will go anywhere. It's very sure footed in the winter. My daughter drives it and will take it to college. I plan on it serving her until she has a job and can by her own Toyota!
