Toyota Tercel DX
| | Model of the car: | Toyota Tercel DX | | | General comments: | My mom bought the car in Sept. 1997 with 100,000 miles on it. No problems at all, we kept the car well maintained. Began to guzzle oil a couple of years after purchase. (Embarrassing) Blue smoke came out of the tailpipe at startup. I bought the car in April, 2001 and sold it in July, 2001. For a girl at the age of 17, I thought I would keep the car for 3-4 years and slowly work towards a different car... But after I had put new brakes, rotors, axles and cv boots on costing me a total of $500 bucks (I have connections), I said the heck with it. It was coming upon 149,000 miles and I it really wasn't the car for me, so I'm currently looking into a 94-95 Civic. Basically, if you know someone who can keep the car maintained, then its a nice car. Always been dependable, never had any real problems. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Oil guzzler! I always made sure I had a spare quart of oil in the trunk at all times! Tires made the car look funny. Factory speakers suck. Absolutely gutless, even on flat, paved roads. Don't even think about climbing a hill in a Tercel! ***Toyota's "tin can" model car.*** | | | Previous car: | Driven lots of different cars, Tercel ranked as "fair", got you to where you need to go, but that is about all it has going for it. |
