Jesse drove the red one in breaking bad. I actually like the look of this car. Great visibility.

My father drove this car until he died,first he had a car accident with the car, he didnt dump it . I watched him buy over 8 cars that he later sold yet he refused to sell this car.i so hated the car because it was out of fashion in the year 2000 and i hated when he comes to pick me up from school with this car, he later sold the car when we became so poor and he was so sick. It was the last car he drove and the longest that stayed with him now he is dead and i think of him often when i remember this car. I pray when i get money i will buy this car to honour him..i love him and i pray his soul rest in peace

I bought a new 4WD Tercel wagon in 1984 in standard trim and later bought a used SR5 wagon when my original Tercel rusted out from under me. (I lived in northeast snow/salt country.) The SR5 finally met its demise the same rusty way in upstate NY. Both cars had 165,000+ miles on them and still ran fine when parked for good. The worst mechanical problem I had was throwing a timing belt on one at about 120,000 miles while driving. But because it was a non-interference engine, no real damage done. I just had it towed home, replaced the belt, which was pretty easy, and drove it for another 50,000 miles or so, until the rust got it. The 62 hp engine had less horsepower than my Suzuki GS650 motorcycle, but no matter. Gutless yes, but due to the perfectly chosen ratios of the 5 speed (technically 6, but really only 5 on the road) manual gearbox it could cruise comfortably at 75 mph (on a flat highway), and was great around town too. It also got tremendous gas mileage for the time - 35-36mpg in warm weather and about 5 mpg less in the winter. I absolutely loved mine. To this day still my favorite car(s).

I think the Tercel was a good looking car.

I got a 97 Tercel and not even kidding for as long as I’ve had it it’s only needed a new fuel pump. The inside is still amazing. Car is mint and is such a fun car.

80s and 90s japanese cars are absolute gems

Well researched, well written review. Great job

I had an 87 trecel wagon, I loved it ran great handled the snow great , only problem was it rusted out due to being in the salt belt of the midwest :(

I love the way it looks!

The 1986 toyota tercel was one of the best Or maybe the best toyota of the 80s .I have one and I must confess these toyotas don't die .They may rot away ,but with good manteniece .They last for generations.The best toyota I have ever had.

Love the Tercel !

I have one identical to this, just in better shape. I love it, such a great little car.

I used to drive this car when I was in the US as an international student during 2000-2002. Actually it was my mom's car, but she let me drive it. After that around 2003, I got a second hand MR2 Mark I. I still love both Tercel and MR2. However, MR2 run faster.

Great review!!

I had to laugh when you said the first two settings don’t work on the blower fan. I have a ‘92 Geo Prizm (a rebadged Toyota Corolla) with the same exact problem. Must be a common issue with all Toyota’s that used those climate controls. Great review.

My dad had two of these. He had a 200 mile roundtrip fomite for work over a mountain pass, so he two 4wd versions of this! One of them was a parts car, although he didn't often need to fix it up. He has said in the past how much he misses that car.

Also had an 81 Corolla RWD wagon. 4x8 fit flat over the wheel wells. Minimal rear overhang. Large rototiller, wheel barrow no sweat. All son's college belongings incl 35 inch crt TV fit in one trip.

Out of all the reviewers that flood youtube, out of all the hackeyed online sites, of the hawkers and spruikers that review and regurgitate facts about cars. I would buy everyone of the cars you have recommended and hold your view in high regard as a matter of good.

Love this type of review, nice job dude

You deserve more subscriptions

Best to me is the milage mpg when stick shift and narrow width for getting thru tite spaces.

Also. A 4x8 sheet fits diagonally into the hatch, with some overhang. Wish I still had it. 1986. Car never died. Cruised at 80-85 very smoothly. What small or medium new hatch back can handle a 4x8?

Atleast it has more caracter than any new car can ever hope to have.

I wish the Crossover SUV trend would die.

First off I'm grateful that I found this channel, I've always been fascinated by quirky vintage commuter cars, (for a short time my dream car was a KE72 Corolla) your content reminds me of a mix between John Davis and Mr. Regular. Secondly If you get the chance can you review the Mitsubishi Galant/Dodge Challenger/Plymouth Sapporo? The car and platform has a very interesting history and they're not very well known about, And help to bring Mitsubishi as a brand to the US through captive imports and such... Thanks and God bless.

Working factory A/C, impressive.

I can see so much of my Pontiac Vibe in this vehicle!

The glovebox latch being half cocked is how it was designed, they are all like that.

Didn’t realize they weren’t all 4WD!

Straight axles are tougher than cv I like that its solid rear axle! Obviously you are not a four wheel drive guy or that would have been a plus not a minus!!!

All the glove box lids do this on AL20 Tercels do this. even the RHD ones.

you gotta get the plaid or corduroy interior

Tengo uno similar muy buen auto excelente

Looooved mine. Didn't have a tachometer, gas gage broke in the early 90s, needed to downshift to 3rd to merge on the highway. My (then future) wife hated it, but the Sharkmobile was the best car.

Man you make me laugh thanks 🎉

Can i ask about manual transmission 4wd Toyota Tercel snow model 1987 if it's available please tell me. Thank you

I have a 1986 Tercel DX I cannot find body parts for it 😢

THe 4wd version really answers a lot of the criticism except the lack of power. The suspension is uprated with the live rear axle with anti roll bars. The interior on the SR5 is a lot more futuristic with the plaid sports seats, Tachometer and inclinometer. The amount of road noise got to me in the end howver.

This was my first car. My parents bought me one when i was in high school. Omg, it was bad. When I saw that NC license plate, I thought it was my old car for a moment. 😂

“Something ripped off an ATM” lol. No joke.

There's a derelict SR5 trim down the street from my aunt's, I'm gonna ask the owner if I can buy it, gonna restore it and probably slam it

Out of all the cars you've owned what can you say is your favorite?
