1992 Toyota Tercel DX review from North America
"Very reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My seats have shown some wear.
The back seat opens into the trunk, but the latch broke, so that doesn't work anymore.
There were some other mechanical difficulties, I can't remember them all, it has been a while.
General comments?
This is an awesome little car. It is so reliable. I have had the car for five years and I have not had anything major go wrong in that time. There have been days when my car was outside in -50F weather and it still started in the morning (no block heater)! Very reliable.
It doesn't have real great pick-up power (especially on hills), but overall it was a good value.
