1991 Toyota Tercel LE review from North America
"A Great Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lots of repairs to the car were made over the years: new AC, muffler, exhaust pipe, gaskets, stereo system, brakes, etc. The interior is pretty crappy, but looks fine with seat covers.
General comments?
The overall car is a hell of a bargain... Good gas mileage, withstands accidents well, keeps on going.
I had this car for 8 years and it was in 2 accidents, a tornado, and it keeps on going. It's had its share of problems, but overall, it's a very reliable car. It's a shame Toyota stopped making it because these cars don't die.
