The 97 Tercel was my first brand new car. I loved the sporty design and how the 5 speed was so smooth compared to my prior 85 Honda Accord. This car was fun to drive and super reliable. Never had any problems. Would have kept it forever had it not been totaled in an accident.

I Hate This Car!

I bought my Tercel in 1996 with 50,000 as I needed a reliable car- all the consumer ratings said it would be. Had it throroughly checked by a mechanic who also said it would be great. Since 90000mi it has been nothing but trouble. Burns 2 qts of oil between oil changes, and I have had an average of $150/month in repairs over the last three years.
