Still Running Smoothly

1993 Toyota Tercel 4 Dr DX Sedan

Review

110,000 miles and only one new battery, one new waterpump, two new sets of tires. No other expenses besides oil changes. Car continues to run smoothly and dependably and handles nicely. I run cars into the ground and expect this to last another 5 years or more. Love the car.

Favorite Features

Excellent gas mileage. Exterior and interior still in beautiful condition. Handles great especially around corners.

Suggested Improvements

Perfect interior size for short person (I'm 5 feet) but too small for a tall person (son is 6'1 and with 14EEEE feet he's too big to drive the standard). Too bad it's no longer being produced.

This is the noblest car that I have had until now.

Review

Car has 100,000 miles and smokes. 4 speed transmission was a bad idea. At 75 mph it is screaming for death. I wasn't thinking when I bought it. They should never sell a dark green car with black interior. Smokin' Hot.

Favorite Features

Easy to work on and cheap parts. Air bag.

Suggested Improvements

Add sound dampening, road noise is terrible. Car seems thin and unstable.

i love it!!! I want to know why they stop making it. That Echo is a poor replacement. I had my tercel for nine years with it's original battery, one set of tires,and only one replacement of wires. 200,000 miles and all I had to do was add freon for the air conditioner in 2001. They need to bring it back!

Favorite Features

The way it drove and an excellent paint job....Misty Blue!!!

Suggested Improvements

it was a 10 i can't think of any thing that i didn't like
