1996 Toyota Tercel 1.5 turbo diesel from Malta
Summary:
A truly bad bargain
Faults:
As soon as I bought the car, the clutch began slipping, the ignition blew off and a short in the lighting system of the car led to a fire in my car interiors. I had to say bye bye to that car.
General Comments:
A car which has very low performance and low acceleration when compared to the NISSAN skyline I've just bought.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I can't believe that you just compare the performance from a Toyota tercel to a Nissan skyline. For what I know, there isn't any Toyota tercel diesel out there, at least in stock form. Those two factor pretty much tell me that your review is a fake, and a very very bad one.

Yes, Toyota did produce a 1.5 turbo diesel tercel. The same engine was used in the 1996 Starlet, although non turbo-ed.

Credible or not, any car potentially could catch fire... but it's a rarity amongst the Tercel.
