| Comments: | I am on my second 1985 Tercel Wagon 4x4. The first one died at 252000 miles. Timing belt broke and we could not get the timing gear off (we tried, boy we tried). The car did not burn oil but it did leak it. My new (ha ha) 85 Tercel has only 120000 mile on it and I am primed to take it to 200000. |

| Comments: | Hi nice to read your page and to fellowship with other tercel lovers. Mine is a 87 tercel wagon. I bought it 5 yrs ago, and it has been a wonderful car. It has 142,000 miles on it, and still running strong. My sister and i have driven this car between montgormery,al and florence,al countless times doing 80 mph without any problem. However I am selling the car because we are relocating. The first $1000 will take it home.
***Please note: timing belt was changed at 100k, clutch at 125k, it has new water pump, and alternator. It has no air, and needs a paint job. If interested Contact me at the email above |

| Comments: | I own a 1990 Toyota Tercel 5 spd, when I got it, me and my dad replaced the old 140,000 mile engine with another one with only 50,000 we picked up oversea's for like $400.
It has some exterior rust and was hit before I owned it in the rear right quarter panel. It's burgandy with turqoise/pink pinstripes. It's a nice car, starts every time, and doesn't give me too much fuss. I wish it had more horsepower, because I have some big friends and that car really starts crying at about 50mph with all the extra weight. It's a nice car I enjoy it but being an 18 yr old I want a much faster car come summer =) |

| Comments: | Hey
I have a 1988 Toyota Tercel with 194,000 miles on it. It is the 2 door coupe, not the hatchback. She is a very loyal car. Sadly, her timing belt snapped last week. But, alas, it's in the midst of getting replaced and will live again. I'm also replacing the rusted out fenders and ripped seats from another tercel that has gone the way of so many before. Anyone interested in starting a Toyota/ Toyota Tercel Webpage? email me? it's a zero after the L, not a o. |

I have a colection of toyoda parts if any ones looking includeing a good engine out of a 91 celica for free if you come pick it up .... Ben Apex, nc feel free to e-mail me. dec 18 2001 |

"Name: amgine E-mail address: jokerz@flash.net Comments: I have a 92 Tercel. Threw a 700 dollar sound system in it, you can hear it 3 blocks away." Not only because he thinks that 700 dollar stereo is awesome (one 350 amp is $190, and one good subwoofer is $200) most people put 2 good subs and at least one amp, bringing the total to $680.... still hits really good... but maybe you think yer $700 dollar stereo hits for 3 blocks... you must live in more like a trailor park for it to be heard that good... $700 is nothing around here, White ford F-150, has 15,000 into his stereo... you don`t see him on here bragg`n bout his head pop`in stereo... lol and my friend himself got a 600 dollar square Kicker Subwoofer... 600 dollar Cd Deck... and a 300 dollar amp... so quit yer bragg`n bout yer 700 dollar stereo, this is junk... i`m 17 and got 500 into mine... yer how old??? exactly, i`m just saving money for my CRX i`m getting all done up for next summer... gonna have about 2000 at least, put into the stereo... including 4 subs... |

| Comments: | I drive a red 5-speed '87 Tercel DX. It's my first car.
It's the first where I got into an accident (head on too; mine started soon afterwards, living the punk driven Sunfire with ignition problems. Ha!) Last Easter Monday it got stolen. I got it back the following day when me and a neighbor spotted it abandoned! :( three blocks away. Sadly I'm considering selling it, as a rust repair/paint job quote costs more than what I originally paid for it: $2600 Canadian. Quirks of note: Thermostat panel won't light until I quickly turn the fan full blast 2 or 3 times and turn on the radio. Feels like it's breaking apart when I hit 100 klicks on the highway. |

| Comments: | i'm 20 and drive a '91 tercel right now. 140,000+ miles ALL
origional. no work done beyond scheduled matenance. my last car was a pos '84 skylark v6 (never again gm). my first car was an '83 corolla and it had 280,000+ miles on it before a bootleg mechanic screwed up the rear axel and differential doing a brake job (killed it). engine never died. i have taken digital pictures of the car and odometer. i had been through a lot in that car. my dad bought it new then passed it on to me. never had a rust problem though (southern california). and the paint was the best i've ever seen (it looks very good no fade and it was never garaged) i need to start my own site to share my story and pictures so people can better appreciate what i'm saying. sadly, the tercel has been replaced by the echo. i love ALL cars and i plan to make a living in the auto industry ultimately. i can say with confidence that toyota makes the most reliable product overall and with fewest defects too (according to J.D. power). all manufacturers make mistakes (benz,honda,GM!,ford!, and even toyota) but toyota produces the fewest per volume of any make. i know i sound like a bunch of factory propoganda, but its true and i've witnessed it first hand. i WILL buy other cars besides toyota/lexus but, there will ALWAYS be a toyota or a lexus in my garage first (got to drive something when the others are in the shop). yeah, and the "HONAD" 4 LIFE guy, name suits you. you're on honda's nads (gonads, balls, ect..) "4 LIFE". get off them. |

| Comments: | I loved your stories about Ol' Blue. I am the proud owner
of an '86 blue Tercel. It has a little over 215,000 miles on it and it is running fine, except for its hunger for rear brakes. It needs a new set of shoes right now. My car also has many quirks of its own. I have to pump the gas pedal exactly 6 times to start it up. Five is not enough and seven will flood it. I just today told my niece that you know your car is old when you have a ritual for opening the doors.(The key has to be facing the right way or the locks/ignition will not turn). I know all about the driver's window. It takes two hands to roll mine down. The passenger door will not unlock from the inside. I have to pull the hood release while hitting the corner of the hood to open it. Because I've been too lazy to replace the thermostat, it has minimal heat. It sat under 9 inches of snow in near zero degree weather for two weeks and started on the second try. It leaks more oil than it uses and goes through air filters like crazy. It also still gets 34 MPG in combined highway/city driving. It's my favorite car. I'll never get rid of it. I'll just keep driving it until it gives up the ghost. I'll be back with un update when I reach 300,000 miles. |

| Comments: | Tercels just don't die. My '93 DX 4-door 5-speed is still
doing well at 111K miles. Cosmetically it looks fantastic except for a little ding or two. It always starts. It always goes. It still gets 36 city and 42 hwy. It'll probably need a clutch soon and the struts are getting a bit woozy, but it is a good enough car to sink the money into. Fit and finish were great new and still good now. I have gotten my orig. $12,800 out of it (yeah, it was a "high end" one -- ha ha) in spades. Washed and waxed, the pearl silver paint and black trim/interior are striking. Over hill and dale, through snow and rain, on 2000 mile vacations and endless commutes, this car justs keeps running. One thing is absolutely sure -- Toyotas are worth the extra money new. Long live my Tercel, and yours too. |

| Comments: | We gained our '83 Tercel 2-dr bronze hatchback(which is a
shade darker from the rest of the car) FREE from Dave's friend Kevin, who'd driven it cross country from Boston to Colorado, back to Boston and then to California. He named it the "Jumpin' Jelly Bean," and we call it "the Bean" or "the Mazerati" for short. It's ugly, and when we lent it to my sister to use, my mom and she made fun of it so bad, that we took it back. They were embarrassed of its rust-ridden body and window that falls off the track. Also, the front door only opens from the outside, and none of the doors lock. The back of the car on the inside is charred from a smoldering fire when Kevin still owned it. We are glad to have "the Bean" back. Two days after we got it back, "the Turtle," our '82 Nissan Stanza 4-dr hatchback blew a headgasket and has now been crushed in the shape of a cube. Our timing was perfect. I don't know what my sister was talking about--"the Bean" still runs like a CHAMP, and will do so for miles to come. She missed out on a "honey of a car," and in 15 years from now when her new one is "out of order" our son will be inheriting "the Bean" as his first car. LONG LIVE THE BEAN!!! |

| Comments: | I have a 1993 Tercel, and have had it for 3 years now, and
have had to do only routine maintenance on it. Oil change, brakes, spark plugs, air filter, and fuel filter. Thats it. Ive put 30,000 miles on it (now has 100,000 miles), and they have been trouble free. It still runs like new. And no rust anywhere. The 1991 and up Tercels dont seem to rust very much at all. Ive been hard pressed to find rust on a Tercel in that age range. Im pretty sure it has something to do with the chemical makeup of the sheet metal in the body. The Tercel is a great college student car... its cheap and reliable, and they last forever. Im happy with mine. I get 43 mpg. |

| Comments: | Dear Spartan Tercel Owners...
I bought my '85 Tercel 8 years ago for $2800. I have invested soley in gasoline. It has been a wonderfully reliable car. Now, 100K miles later, I must decide whether to invest in the engine or kiss it goodbye (I think the previous owner was abusive, causing early engine death). I have missed my bi-annual rustbloom abatement program this past spring, and things are looking pretty bleak. What else dies on these noble machines at 200K miles? |

| Comments: | Your story has touched me. For I live your life. I am the
proud lover of a 1987.5 Gray Toyota Tercel EZ Liftback. I am a mere 16 year old, I have only had my license for months. But I am in love with this car. It, like Ol' Blue, is a ledgend among my friends here in Pittsburgh. When the clutch went out twice in a row this July, and we thought it was the end, my friends sent sympathy cards. I, too, learned how to drive a stick on this great car. As did my brother before me, and my sister before him (now both married and approaching 30 years old each). Sure, my friends crack jokes. They make fun. The lack of a right-side-view-mirror, the lack of power doors, locks, or steering, the rusty-on-the-inside lock on the gas cap shield (which I love), the lack of a trunk release, the requirement of Premium gas lest the engine knocks...all are the great, yet sometimes-ridiculed by those who don't understand my love, traits of the car. Sure it's rusting, sure there aren't any hubcaps, sure the oil light is burned out and it takes a quart of it every two weeks...so what? The interior is still beautiful, and dammit, it's fun to drive. The day is coming, I very well know, when it will be taken from me. It will die, and probably soon, and probably while I am at the wheel. And when it does, I WILL shed tears. For it is, and always will be, my first car. And no car, no matter how much better the transmission works, no matter how much better the paint job is, no matter how much the blue book value ($490 for my beauty), will ever hold as big a place in my heart as does the Tercel. Take care of your cars. Especially Tercels. They deserve it. |

| Comments: | Toyota tercels suck. they are the worst cars ever. They
are quite unreliable and don't run smoothly. I would know because I bought a brand new 97 tercel a few years ago and it had so many problems that i had to return it. It owuldnt start up, the heating/ac was't working and the brakes were just awful. When I bought the car, I thought that I would get more than just a car but instead I got a piece of junk that didn't live up its expectation. So I just bought a 99' Honda civic. It works a lot better and I haven't had any problems with it. |

I was running on 13" and 135 large, so it's a lot different. I made my own mechanic like changing motor oil every 6 000 km and do the rotation of tires. Any it's a TOYOTA, you don't have almost anything to do. Incredible how strong this little car is!! Now I need some little help what can I do to make more hp?

She is having a gasket problem right now, but the beauty is that it costs like 25 cents to fix most small problems on this car.

tonight. I've owned it since Nov. 1984. Engine has never required more than tune-ups and oil changes at 3,000 miles, still working on the original clutch (and one original CV joint), no problems so far w/ the tranny. Paint on the hood and roof are just starting to go, otherwise OK (Silver--so glad I didn't get red or navy). Needs front-end parts, but whaddya expect? Only sore spot has been the (U.S.installed) air conditioning--what a constant and expensive headache to get cool air!! Too pricey to maintain, even through Texas summers. Recently, another driver broke my rear taillight. Got a kick out of discovering that the cost of the part (About $149.00 for the assembly) was $1.00 less than Edmunds (I think) lists as the trade-in value of t |

Toyota Camry while waiting a year or two to get the new Celica GT-S. Anywho I used to drive an 84 Tercel with 105k on it. I tinted the windows BIG TIME (what kind of drug dealer would drive a Tercel anyhow? p.s. im not one =) ) Anywho I put plenty of window stickers on it including TRD stickers. Put a tip on it and a KN air filter which allows it to breath easier. I also took off the little air tube which allows the engine to get more air. Stereo system and speakers also. It recently needed a $500 brake job which is about how much the car is worth so we sold it for 600. Mine was rust red and I really loathed it but it was something to laugh at and a car not to worry about. Whos going to break into a tercel anyhow?

| Comments: | You are not alone! I have my own "Ol' Blue", a 1983 Tercel 5dr manual trans with 187000 miles. I'm in the process of fully restoring it to like-new condition. Almost two years ago I was hit by an 18-wheeler and my Tercel took a severe beating on the driver's side. It still turned over, but needed much body work before it could be street worthy. I did some of the body work, replacing the fender and front door with parts from long dead Tercels in local salvage yards, and took a sledge hammer to pound the rear fender into driveable shape. From there the car was barely street worthy, but was alive. Over the past two years, I've slowly fixed mechanical and body problems until this past January when I went in for the final body work. After rebulding the two rear quarters and giving it a new paint job, the car looks like it just came off the showroom floor!! All that is left is to replace the ceiling, speakers, and A/C unit. My Tercel is a holy relic in my family, having been passed down from my father to my brother and now to me. All of those little memories that come with growing up are a part of it. I don't merely see an old Tercel, I see a rich history filled with fond memories and the promise of more to come. Besides, it turns 18 this September--it's just beginning its adult life! I do drive another car, a 1988 Crysler Conquest TSi, and love experiencing high-performance driving. However, the Conquest is my project car, and can never take the place of my Tercel. |

Wow a site for tercel Lovers. My girlfriend bought a 1980 2 years ago, very low kms, and almost no rust. I is an amazing car - in spite of being almost 20 years old. Since then I have become a major Tercel and Toyota fan. We now have the 1980, a 1983 and my 1986. I am current looking for good wagon - The wagons are really versatile vehicle that is almost impossible to buy used in good shape here in Canada. Yes they are indestructable and are simple to fix. I have advanced the ignition timing on all of ours, and added the oil treatment product called Restore - the stuff works miracles! Any more tips out there on how to keep them running? |

| Comments: | So interesting to hear another driver singing the praises
of her aging Toyota Tercel. I have an 87 red Tercel. I call "her" little read. Lots of Red's innards have been replaced: she has well over 123,000 on her, though friends who drive Toyotas tell me she is just getting broken in. Because I have been driving stick for years, I can't imagine going to automatic transmission. Will I change Red for another car? Should I pass her off to my soon going off to college daughter/ stay tuned. Toyotas rock,esp. old ones. |

| Comments: | Today, I bought a '97 Tercel...his name is Pepe. I'm sure I
will grow to love him as you have loved Ol' Blue. I wish to memorialize the car i'm trading in for Pepe...an '88 Grand Am I call The Great Space Coaster. It has been up and down the length of Florida several times and everywhere in between. The Great Space Coaster faithfully carried me back and forth from home to school at FSU for three years. It was given to me by my grandma Jennie when she could no longer drive it. The Great Space Coaster even endured the trauma of auto theft, but it was returned to me only slightly damaged. I'll miss you, Great Space Coaster...and welcome, Pepe! |

| Comments: | Hey there-
Love you web page. I also have a Tercel that I am in love with. Mine is a '93, but it is the best car I ever had I think my car is in a little better shape, but the car has had it moments. I was rear-ended in Minneopolis, MN last weekend and I had hardly any damage. The other car was a wreck. My car is tough. Please keep updateing the progress of 'Ol Blue and take care. Thanks alot. Tercels are the best car on the road today. |

| Comments: | I had an '84 wagon and felt the same way about it as you felt
towards Ol' Blue, although mine never had a name. Mine met a similar fate as yours in 1998 when I decided it was not reliable enough to drive 500 miles to college 6 times a year. Now my sister is tearing around in it, but she lets me drive it when I go home. |

| Comments: | This is really great! Just like all of you I am the proud owner of a 1989 trecel and I love it. it has been my one and only car yet. Why else should i buy a new one if this one runs great! I do have some problems though I always have to put new struts in the front because of where I live the roads are so bumpy I bust them. Other than that I never touched the motor yet. I change the oil my self every 3,000 miles and she rus like a charm. I just had it painted the same color this past fall. SILVER!! I like the color I have installed myself a $2200 stereo system in it and it kicks butt!! I think the system cost more than the car is worth now! HEHE Well all I gotta say is go luck to all you trecel lovers and good luck with yours!! I know I have!1

| Comments: | Hey People,
Wandered across this site noticing a lot of people wanting technical tips or modification advice that didn't include nitro. Since I am an idiot savant mechanic, I can make a few suggestions (since the Tercel is my area of expertise.) Tercels were originally made in 1981, because Gas prices were rising, there was a need for economy class cars. The first Tercels are Toyota's answer to that call. With the first engines actually cranking out upwards of 130 HP, (trust me, that's Engine HP, not end result HP), and a nice old fashioned double-barrelled carbuerator (I KNOW I DIDN'T SPELL THAT RIGHT), it's specific design is to provide good mileage. But, because it is a carb'd fuel system, you can get a nice 4 barrelled carb for around 300$, and boost that power through the roof. You will need to get new intake manifolds (a 4 barrell carb is essentially 4 single barrelled carbs, fyi), and to make sure you aren't screwing your engine, I recommend that you change those spark plugs (I recommend Split-Fires, I know from experience), the right socket for that is the 13/16 (at least for the 81-83, but I think Toyota uses that standard probably until 90 that I know of). Also, replace the spark plug wires with some premium platinum wires. If you don't like your distributor, replace it. That should make your car a lot meaner, and a lot more trigger happy. If you do like turbo, that's fine for you. Seriously, you would be better off with a super charge kit- those are probably double the price of a turbo kit, but they are safer. Super charge kits force more air into the fuel mixture, making it burn better and safer. For God's sake, don't ever use Nitro. But then again, if you just want to keep your car alive (very easy to do with Toyotas), always change the oil as often as it takes to burn it off (add as much as it burns off along the way, but keep track of how much you add.) Since oil does lose it's ability to protect your engine, simply adding more every month doesn't help it. Keep track of your coolant, I beleive most Tercels like a 50/50 mixture of coolant and water. (Ethlyne Glycol based coolant, but I've never seen another kind, to be honest) I loved my 82 Tercel for the year I had it (it was a 3 speed automatic) and I've found the perfect car to replace it. (another 82, 4 speed manual!) Oh well, love your car, It sure loves you! |

| Comments: | I'm the proud owner of a 1991 Light Blue Terc(that's what I
call it). I've only had her since July 1999, but she's been basically trouble free other her appetite for oil! So, it's not real bad(a quart every month or so), but I'd like to be rid of the problem entirely! The problem with that is that I don't have $1500-2000 for an engine rebuild. I've been meaning to try my luck at the local boneyards for a new powerplant. Has anybody ever tried rebuilding/retuning one of these things? Can it be done by a mere mortal? Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated! |

| Comments: | I HAVE AN OLD BLUE!!! But he doesn't have a name 8-( I
want to name him. He is a 1989 dark blue coupe. He also has a custom stainless steal exhaust and a sweet system. Currently he is in need of $1,300 worth of body work. I didn't mean to hurt him, besides $650 was the big bad caddy's fault. He is SO fun to drive and he handles very well for his class. He also goes 110 MPH (yes I've had him going 110 MPH going down a small incline) just like he says. At one point I wanted to put a larger engine in him but I don't think I need too. Besides I have to save up for my honey's engagement ring. She's afraid to drive him but I'm gonna teach her how. I know my car inside-out. Oh, yeah, I also want to put a tachometer in the little hole between the spedometer and the fuel gauge. |

| Comments: | I love the page. I own a 87 Tercel, that is know to my
friends as "PHLAVOR". Phlavor was purchased off a private owner in 1997, It's been close to 3 years since then and it has served me well. I had to do a few major adjustments, exhaust, brakes, put the engine is fine. THe kicker is the tail light assembly is shot so I attached a trailer light in it's place. It's a rust eyecatcher, but I love it. Once I went to the St Louis Symphony in it and had it valle parked for the hell of it. I got some looks but Phlavor's woth the treatment. Late, BC |

| Comments: | hiya, my name's amy and i have a close relationship with my
1988 four door sky blue Tercel, very rare: a collector's item. her name is chloey. yippee! i've had her for about a year and a half and also inherited my baby from my college sister. in the past year and a half i have gotten three new tires, a new muffler, a new front exhaust pipe, three new batteries. the ceiling lining is hanging so much that it touches your head and blocks the light from the ceiling light. the glove box is not aligned properly and often falls to the floor, spilling all of its contents, when rounding a corner too quickly or slamming the passenger door too hard. there is no steering at all, don't want to talk about that, but i have really big muscles. inside the hood on one of the engine parts (carborator?) reads the word: TOYODA. yes, with a "D". what's up with this? but, i will never ever sell or get rid of chloey. she's a trooper. glad to know that there are so many other tercel aficiandos out there. |

| Comments: | Thanks for the story. It's great to see that others love
these old cars. I do too, of course.My '80 Tercel has served me well for 2 years. I bought it for $150.00 and I have since put $4000.00 into it. It runs like new, brakes well, turns great, sits well, starts fine...........and looks awful!!But that's ok. If there are any Tercel clubs out there I would like to be part of one. 'ol blue was inspirational. Thanks again. BAX |

| Comments: | Oh my!
I think we had the exact same car. Only his name was Filbert, like the nut, and he was a white Ford Festiva. My bestfriend once told me that when she thought about our high school days, filbert always came to mind. He was the perfect car. He started out in a very similar way to ol blue, my parents actually bought THREE festivas, (when we bought the third, the saleman asked about us doing advertising print work or something). I also learned to drive standard in Filbert. The ashtrays overflowed, the burns were plenty and there was no radio. Not a broken radio, a factory hole in the dash were the radio would be. I put a radio in later, but on graduation night we had a boom box in the back seat. Filbert was the greatest, until the accident. You couldn't open the driver's side door from the outside, so most offen i had to slide through. I continued to drive him until my brother totaled his festiva. I got a used saturn, a completely different story you don't want me going into ( his bumpersticker says, "I HATE MY SATURN"), and he got the "punishment car". Two accidents later, he sold it to a friend for the price of the radio I put in it and it is now in the hape of a cube somewhere. We all love and remember Filbert in his glory. |

I just bought an 1987 Toy Tercel last week. It has 131,000 miles on it and was a one owner. Got it registered/inspected/oil change/new tires today. I was having a problem with the engine cutting out this A.M. on its maiden voyage to my work (bought it as my commuter car) and went looking for ideas on the WWW. I found myself here. It is so nice to see people who love their Tercels this much!!! I own nothing but Toyotas (85 P.U 4X4 w/170,000 mi. - 1988 4runner w/200,000 mi. -1998 RAV4 wife's vehicle). I feel like I made a great choice in auto's even if I have the miss problem. However, I will find that problem someway/somehow. |

| Comments: | I just bought an '82 Tercel for my kids... 221,000...
looked like it has been kicked down the road sideways, but by far the best running car I have ever owned! The more rubbing compound, wax,elbow grease, seat covers and other cosmetic things we apply to it, the more I think I may have to get them ANOTHER car! She cleaned up quite nicely. My total investment, including car, 2 tires, lube and oil, el cheapo-but it works-stereo, mechanic's check, various cleaning chemicals and 6 months (full coverage including towing, just in case) insurance:$690 I really enjoyed your page. Thanks for taking the time and trouble. I'm sure you're Ol' Blue will be just fine. |

fanclub for tercel owners. You see I am a tercel owner. My baby, "Old Gold". A gold '84 tercel hatchback, two door, stick, with 231,780 something miles on it. She is my baby and I love her dearly. She has plenty of rust but she runs perfectly. I don't want to see her go, but like Ol' Blue she is on her way out. I will probably buy another tercel and use parts from Old Gold to keep the memories alive. email me if you want to see pictures. -Lee |

| Comments: | Hi Ol' Blue
I am also the proud owner of my own blue 87 tercel. It has 140,000 miles and is still going strong. The Zudmobile as I call it is also refered to by my co-workers as the POS car. (Piece of Sh*t) but I love him. I bought him while I was in college back in 1987 when he only had 5000 miles.(12 years ago!!!!) We have been through many good times together (it those seats could talk!) My wife hates him and made me buy a newer car (a 95 VW Jetta) but I never drive that car! The guy at the VW dealer took one look at it when I asked how much for a trade in? He said "$300!" I then asked "how much will you take off the new car if I don't trade the Zudmobile in?" and he said "$500!!!" so... of course I kept him. (not that I ever would have traded him in anyways) The only accessory I do have is a wooden roof rack that I have put canoes, ladders, lumber, doors, skis, Kayaks, and sometimes my wife strapped to the top! The story of Ol' Blue is much the same as the Zudmobile right down to the navy blue seatcovers from Walmart and the duct tape. Keep on Tercelin' Ol' Blue!!!! Zud and the Zudmobile |

| Comments: | I hate Toyota Tercels! I'm sure taht if you're an owner you
can grow fond of them, but I think they suck! They have the most awful front seats! They're so small and when you sit in them you have nowhere to put your legs. So far I've only been in 2 Tercels (as far as I know) the first one was some old, shitty, 80s Tercel. The other was from the early 90s. There's no difference whatsoever in the seats! The 90s one belongs to a friend of mine, so I can't dis it in the presence of the owner, but the 80s one belongs to my ex-boyfriend and it's really shitty! Personally, I'd like a 1998 Toyota Corolla (strictly for the commercial it had here in Canada in 1998). |
