1988 Toyota Van review from North America
"Okay, but would not buy another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition switch changed 6 times.
Brakes replace 7 times.
Air condition went out at 125,000.
Heater went out at 130,000.
Speakers on radio system blown at 50,000.
Seats showed wear at 25,000.
General comments?
The gas mileage on this van was outstanding! Would get about 30 mpg.
Turned on the dime! Could get in and out of tight areas easily.
All seats were very uncomfortable on long trips. Felt like you have been beat on after a long day.
With only two windows that opened, rear passenger side felt very closed in.
Nice dual air conditioning systems.
Because the driver and front passenger literally sit on the engine compartment, you feel every bump in the road.
Interior was not high standard. Felt very cheap.
