1989 Toyota Tercel DX review from North America
"My car was very reliable for the 4 years that I owned it, and will be greatly missed."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My front oil gasket began to leak pretty bad.
General comments?
This car was remarkably reliable.
It handled very well, and was very good at whipping in and out of traffic.
I found my car to be rather comfortable.
This car was also very fast when I needed it to be, and slowed down very quickly once my foot was off the gas pedal.
