1991 Toyota Cressida Base 3.0 liter inline 6

Summary:

Toyota's best on wheels!

Faults:

Since I own this Toyota, I have always had trouble. It's normal on Québec's salty roads. The A/C is not working since I bought the car.

The day I bought the car, the front bumper fell down, because of the reinforcement' rust.

I had no problem after 3 months, but my sister hit the rear in a pole and broke the light, trunk, and rear bumper.

Winter 2005, the engine over heated and Toyota said it's was the head gasket that was blown, like all the Cressidas did or will do!

So there is no ventilation in it.

Since this date, the car is sitting in my garage, and I just want to bring it on the road.

I love how it run, the sound of the engine and the RWD.

The car still has rust, but it's solid and none on the frame! Solid like all Cressidas!

The interior is like new, everything works like new!

General Comments:

The handling is like a sport car.

I love the power transfer on rear wheel; a special feeling when you touch the accelerator.

It stay on the road, and it's comfortable on the road with the wind in your hair from the sunroof!

I just love this car, it's like a dream, but it takes time to get used to the old exterior, but I don't care what people say.

1991 Toyota Cressida LX V6 3.7L

Summary:

Best Car I've ever had!

Faults:

I replaced the radiator at around 120000.

Seats very worn with large cracks that have led to "craters" at about 200,000.

Driver's side armrest, the plastic plate over the window buttons, cracked and broke at about 170,000.

The cup holder broke at around 150,000.

The stereo went out at 150,000.

The Visor broke at 150,000.

General Comments:

The car seems to just keep running and running despite all the wear and tear I've put in it. I love the way it handles and the way it takes hills. I'm quite comfortable driving this car and I've heard that the backseats are very comfortable as well. Right now I'm contemplating getting a newer vehicle, but I love my Cressida and I don't know if anything will compare to it in my price range. I would love to find a good source for replacement parts for the cosmetic problems without having to pay hundreds of dollars for each part.

1991 Toyota Cressida V6 3L

Summary:

Looks are deceiving

Faults:

Some times the key will stick in the lock and will not turn.

The car was given to me by my grandmother so it was never driven much so is in very good cond. but the leather seats were not taken care of so they have cracked.

The springs in the preset buttons on the stereo have broken so you can only have one station or you have to tune another one in.

I am a 16 year old boy with very high expectations and this car meets almost every single one of them.

General Comments:

The car is very fast and sometimes it can get away from you. Sometimes when you are driving it you feel like you are driving a supra or something of that nature.

The electronics on the other hand are not the best, but then CD players were new in 91 and they tried to make the car very high tech so I would recommend this car to anyone and every one.

The key not turning once you put it in the ignition may be because the steering wheel is locked. Most cars have this feature. You must move your steering wheel the opposite way and then turn the key to start the car.

Nice vehicle but old-school... more like a wagon. Definitely a reliable vehicle...
