1996 Toyota Starlet 1.3
Summary:
Good well built car with few probs and good reselling value
Faults:
Ignition Failed at around 100,000kmh.
Fuel Pump failed (I frequently drove the car with nearly no petrol - hence my fault) at 120,000km.
Electric windows button failed (cheap replacement)
Driver seat started to wear near the stitching after 6-7yrs.
Nothing else, ever.
General Comments:
Good motor, faster than most small city cars of its generation. Could do 170km/h until recently.
Heavy steering wheel (non-hydraulic)
Good Gearbox, never-ever missed a change.
Mediocre Brakes.
Fast turns not its strong point. Under-steered considerably.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
