The best car I have ever owned.
Juancho, 04/13/2002
1991 Toyota Tercel 2dr Coupe
I bought this bare bones model because as a student, I could not afford any
other new car in the market that I could trust. I felt confident that by buying
a new Toyota I should not have to worry about expensive fixes for the next
five years (enough time to finish college and get a paying job). I finish five
years of engineering school, a two year masters degree program, and …
started to work before the car ever saw a mechanic. It has been eleven
years now and the car has now endured a wife and two kids. It still runs
great!

I love my 'peppy' little Tercel!

1991 Toyota Tercel DX 2dr Coupe
I bought my Tercel back in 1996 with
about 40,000 miles on it. It never saw
a shop until this year (2002) and only
to replace the starter, and the AC. It
is zipping past 130,000 miles with no
major problems. It never lets me down.

Pretty good

1991 Toyota Tercel 2dr Coupe
For a car that was so cheap new, it has
been awfuly good. Not once have I been
to the mechanic for unscheduled
maintenance. BUT- it does get very
musty and gross in wet weather, at
110000 miles after being taken care of
excellently, it is definitely falling
apart. But i cannot complain that i
have never spent a cent fixing the car
i paid under $7k for 11 years ago.

1991 Toyota Tercel DX 2dr Coupe
I bought this car new and now it has 128,000 miles. It starts everyday, except when I leave the lights on. The only mechanical issue now is that my A/C is 99% gone and I don't know how much it will cost. This car has been superb for 17 years-I got my moneys worth a long time ago. My next car will be a Toyota
