Bought 2nd hand 1995. No memorable faults to date.
Performance only 6/10, as although straight line is very quick, bends are a problem and cause the car to progressively lurch & under-steer. This makes it a very safe car though as you're never tempted to take a bend too fast!
Good amount of passenger and luggage space.
Good corrosion resistance and solid transmission / engine, covered 60k, looks good for 150k+.
I have a Toyota Carina-E from 1993. I find the performance very good and here in Belgium the running costs are not high.
For the rest I agree.
Friendly greetings from Belgium.
I bought my carina e in march 04,must say what a spacey car great for family, as for performance, and reliability,fantastic, had mine for 6 months and not a problem,starts 1st time,np knocking noises,purrs like a kitten,only bad point,looks don't come into the equastion,but I'm a family man,and rely on a car that does the job,, upgrade form the previous car well reccommend.
