1986 Toyota Tercel Regular review from North America
"Awsome high school vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch, Rear Sprayers (which I fixed myself), Piston Ring (1st Cylinder and haven't fixed and still running fine for 10,000), Regular things like tires, belts, oil, etc...
General comments?
It is a great high schooler car. It was my parents, but now it is kind of mine. It does pretty well off-road, I have taken it on a number of 4x4 trails and am always amazed at where it takes me. I have even jumped it a good 2-3 feet high and 15-20 distance with no noticeable problems!
