Worlds best car

"I got this car in high school as my first car. It still runs great! It is 18 years old and I have only had to replace the water pump and I am sure that was my own fault. The only issue I have ever had with this car is the paint. The paint seams to turn a white color (my car is red) and it had faded to extremes. At first I thought it was just my car, but every Tercel I have saw is the same way no matter what color it is. Overall this is the greatest car I have ever had. I took it to the beach on $20. The beach was 5 hours away."

Great Car

By Edmund (MI) on Friday, October 28, 2011

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 173,531

Pros: "Good price, reliable, never broke down"

Cons: "No cup holders (yes I quoted the example)."

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I have had this car for a year now and after the initial set of tweaking, it worked amazingly well, despite its age, until it got smashed by a newer and bigger car. The gas mileage is good and the acceleration isn't terrible. I can park almost anywhere."
