1986 Toyota Tercel 4wd review from North America
"A real money saver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only things that have gone with the car since I acquired it was the muffler fell off when I was going down the highway. This particular vehicle gets great gas mileage.
General comments?
The is a great first car. I like the 4wd feature. When it snows, I like to try to get stuck and and pop-it into 4wheel mode and feel it pull me out. I would definitely recommend this car to college students because it is cheap to run and maintain. This car also has a surprisingly large cargo capacity when you fold down the back seat. This is really a great car.
