1991 Toyota Tercel DX review from North America
"A sweet deal of a car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I got the car, the oil pan/transmission gasket was leaking, and needed replaced. (77,000 miles).
The fluids needed flushed.
General comments?
This car is nice to drive, especially for those with not a lot of driving experience.
It gets very good gas mileage, about 35 miles to the gallon.
It takes a while to get it up to a high speed when going down a freeway.
