Tercel
| | Model of the car: | Tercel | | | General comments: | I've owned this car since new. It is about turn 170,000 miles. It has been a very dependable car for me and uses no oil. I've had to replacethe water pump just this week. Comfortable seats, driver seat just recently worn through from getting in and out all the time. Its the best money I spent for a car. Other than replacing the water pump I've had to have the carbon cleaned from the engine at 30,000 and 100,000 miles but have learned to keep injector cleaner in the tank about every 2 or 3 fill ups. Also had a minor rebuild on the engine at the time they cleaned the carbon from the pistons at 100,000. As far as the money goes for the maintenace it has been cheap compared to buying a new car. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | This model has a throttle body that can cause carbon build up in alot of city driving. | | | Previous car: | I had to drive a new ford escort and not as nice as my 12 year old tercel. |
