This was overall a great car, it was my first vehicle and for being a 1978 purchased in 1996, it had low mileage and was very reliable. The stuff that was a problem on it come to be expected for a car, that at the time was a year older than me. It generally started right up, even in the winter, had good pick up and traveled all over for long distances with no problem.

Faults:

Minor repairs, timing chain, new brake linings, tires, battery.

This is the most reliable car we have ever owned. I would give Toyota 11 stars instead of 10 if possible. This car is great on gas and we have traveled all over the country without a problem. It is used daily. It handles great and can keep up with the best of them. I wish I could find another one just like it. I rate Toyota as one of the top 3 auto makers in the world. Ferrari and Mercedes being the others.

Faults:

Nothing serious. Typical maintenence. I always felt that Toyota kinda crapped out when it came to the audio systems. Alternator went after about 200,000 miles. I suppose I overloaded it with the rally lights I added. After I started rallying with the car, more and more things went wrong, certainly not the cars fault, I mean it was an economic car so it wasn't exactly built to race.

General Comments:

Great car from day one. All it requires is a nice set of wheels, a GT racing stripe and a better sound system and your set for a while. I did A LOT of work to get it up to rally standards. Reworked it to 4WD and made a few engine modifications. Fast little thing from day one. Had a rust problem at one point, but a little bodywork fixed that. Terrific car.
