Good gas mileage (35-38 hwy; 28-32 town); room for 4 small adults and some luggage, fold down rear seats making it easy to carry up to 8' boards; good around town and short trip vehicle; no rust yet; good handling in snow.Nov 11, 2011

The car is all about economics. This car is not made for performance, its pretty slow actually, but the cost of maintenance is next to zero. This doesn't have good handling or braking, but its ok. The materials made for this car are top notch, and the gas mileage its one of the bests around.Jul 01, 2010

I loved this car when I got it. It was leased. I remember going car shopping with mom and dad and looking at the Tercel. We found this one on the lot with 800 miles on it, and not much more other than a sunroof and alloy wheels. It was fun to drive, but was in a wreck about a year or so later; and I traded it in for my Corolla.Aug 26, 2009

el tercel es bueno un auto compacto rapido aunq no muy fuerte. Es recomendable para aquellos que quieran ahorrar gasolina. Me gusta mucho el tercel ademas por que es un auto muy lijero y facil de manejar.
eso es todo.Aug 02, 2009

very good fuel efficiency. 39mpg with half highway and half local as I am a very good driver for this manual car. very good quality, no major problem very reliable. moderate design but it lacks horsepower :-(Jun 28, 2008

We bought this car as a commuter vehicle, and have been very impressed. I'm shocked that it doesn't hold its value better, because it runs and drives just as well now as it did in 1996. It's still very reliable and gets about 39 mpg. Its only disadvantage is it's kinda loud.

While not my style, I need a car. This is what came through. She did well and I drove her to the breaking point. But she just wasn't my type of car.Jan 27, 2008
