I've had the car for 6 years - bought it in 2002 with 72k on it. It now has 113k. It has had no problems, except for a minor oil leak last year. It is a great car for driving around town, although I have also done a 1000 mile road trip in it.

I purchased this car with 229K miles on it and it currently has 240K. It's great on gas, is economical, and needs very little maintenance. Honestly the best car for those that have long commutes or need to take it into urban areas with tight parking spots. The trunk space is also very usable considering how small this car is. The manual transmission is average at best, but for the price and what this car was geared for, it's really a good car.

I bought the 1996 Tercel new from a Toyota dealer. I kept the car for 2 years and sold it with 66000km on it. The power train was excellent however,the rest of the car was pure junk. The wheel bearings were repacked and then replaced under warranty. The passenger seat belt had to be replaced due to a malfunction.The heater clanged and needed replacing. The radio stopped working and was replaced. This car was driven on paved highways at highway speeds for 98% of its life. I felt the car was piece of junk and if I won a Toyota ,I would trade it for a Yugo or a lada!

I bought the vehicle new in 2/96. It now has 148K trouble free miles. Started using a little oil in recent years, about 1 qt per 3000 miles. Replaced timing- and drive belts every 60K and regular oil changes. The only (!) unscheduled maintenance was at 115K when some emission sensor went bad and the check engine light came on. Cost $400 to replace. Never ever let me down.
good little car for the price
