1989 Toyota Tercel LX review from North America
"My Grocery Getter"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine block cracked due to an overheating, it was caused y my not watching the fluid levels of th car.
Other than that it is a perfect car.
General comments?
I really like the way that the car handles and rides. It feels really solid and stable in tighter corners.
I would have rather had a manual transmission, although with the automatic the car is still fairly quick.
