1988 Toyota TownAce Royal Lounge 4x4 review from UK and Ireland
"An excellent family vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radiator had to be replaced shortly after I
bought the vehicle because of a bad repair by the
previous owner.
Had two new alternators. The first new alternator
was replaced under guarantee.
New starter motor.
New front suspension bushes.
New front shock absorber bushes.
General comments?
My Town Ace is a 6/7 seater, but 8 seater's are
available.
My Town Ace has 6 skylight sunroofs, 4 of which
open and all have shutters.
My Town Ace has air con, hot / cold box, electric
curtains, captains chairs, seats in the rear that
can turn 180 degrees, electric curtains, climate
control, & tinted windows.
The gear box is automatic with overdrive and is
very smooth.
The engine is the same as used in the Toyota
Space Cruiser, but in my Town Ace it is fuel
injected and gives adequate performance.
The vehicle is very comfortable and roomy and
easy to drive.
It will average 30mpg on a good run, but around
town this will drop to 20mpg.
Overall I am very pleased with my Town Ace and
I intend to keep her for many more years to come.
It is 18 years old, but shows very little sign
of its age. The body is in A1 condition and the
engine is still running like new.
