so i'm in the market to upgrade daily driver and my first car, an 89 celica ST. It's got almost 210k, the body is abused, and its not getting any newer although it still runs like a champ.
For my replacement, I want something both economical and functional. I really like the tercel because I can get a fuel-efficient 4 door car. I've always wanted to get the toyota pickup (SEXY) and it would be nice to have a 4x4 vehicle and be able to tow stuff. I only want to spend 2-4k for the vehicle. Any other suggestions are appreciated but Toyota's only EDIT: just realized I like the way the 95-97 tercels look a lot better This post has been edited by 99Celica: Jan 22, 2009 - 3:12 PM |

I can't really imgaine you towing anything with those pickup trucks. They hardly have any power especially the 22R models and the 4wd system just weighs it down even further. The Tercels are rather weak in power. I don't even suggest you to get those if your looking for a 4 door car. Stuffing in more than 2 people might make the car sputter as it tries to push people around.
If anything and you still want to stick to a Toyota line get your self a Camry. The 93-97 are pretty strong and you can still average 35 miles to the gallon plus you can find a decent one around for under $3,000 |
