1991 Toyota Tercel review from North America
"Just won't die!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windshield Wiper Motor at 180,000 KM, and has to put in a new Radiator at 200,000.
General comments?
This has been the most reliable car I have ever owned.
I keep waiting for it to die so I can get a new Toyota, but so far no luck!!!
Not very quick and tends to burn oil, but not bad considering the amount of mileage on it.
Seats can be somewhat uncomfortable on long trips, but they are functional just like the car.
I highly recommend getting one.
