I had a blue 1985 Tercel 4WD wagon, I bought it new and owned it for 10 years and 320,000 miles. It was basically trouble free, I just kept with the recommended maintenance schedule exactly. I lived in Stowe, Vermont, and I never got stuck anywhere. The only thing that killed it was a drunk driver in a GMC truck that T-Boned it while it was parked.

Ok until we saw the interior I was going to swear this was my car! Mine was red outside and brown inside, everything exactly the same as this one. Down to the cruise control, inclinometer, plaid seating and more. Except…. Mine had a sunroof!! I was getting so excited. Cool part is that before I drove it, it belonged to my grandparents who bought it new from Burt Toyota in Denver. I could have given You every record since new! I started a contracting biz in college and needed a truck, so gave this back to my grandparents. They donated it at the time, which made perfect sense as they are the most generous people ever, they could no longer drive a clutch, and I didnt need/ couldn’t afford to maintain 2 cars. But man o man as an adult with my own family, what I wouldn’t give to have been able to hold on to it and still have it to this day!! Miss it dearly. Both because of how unique it is, but also for all the sentimental reasons and memories I made with it, both as a driver and a passenger while it was in my grandparents’ stewardship. I took incredible care of it while I had it, with maintenance, cleaning, waxing and religious care for those plastics. But damn that rust! But I also used it a lot and took it off road. It conquered some stuff that I’ve never since attempted in actual trucks and suvs. If only you could see the places I took it, the hills it climbed. Thing is a billy goat. What a car! Thanks for reading, and even more for making the video. Brought back so many memories. I am going to share with my Grandma!!

Wow did this bring back some memories! When these first came out, we were living in East Tennessee and my wife was working as a home health nurse covering the whole southeastern corner of the state. She often had to go down some unpaved tracks in all kinds of weather to see her patients so we got her an 83 SR5 model as soon as they came out. That little wagon would take her anywhere and we used it on weekends for camping trips in the mountains. Great little 4WD wagon!

We had a new 1985 SR5 Cream colored. The dealers were selling ant-rust treatments back then. The treatment blocked the all the drain ports and and made the cars rust badly. Mine at 102,000 miles was rusting badly. The A/C failed so I traded it in. I took it up Pike Peak one year and off road trails a few times. On pavement and the rain with 4wr drive on when you went to turn the car would try to go straight instead of turning. Fun vehicle to own.

So awesome, this reminds me of hunting with my Grandma back in the 90's. She had a v20 2wd Toyota Camry wagon, which she pronounced 'camra', and she took that thing all over the place. One time we were trying to make it from one unit to another and needed to take a pretty gnarly road. We started down it and when it started getting rough she just pushed the off-road button (not sure the actual label) and kept going. When we came out the other side there was a couple hunters in an f-150 4wd that waved us down and asked if we had to turn around. My grandma said no we came all the way through and these guys couldn't believe it.

My mother had one of these. I eventually had it and used it as a second car for a while. I sold it to a young guy who collects them. The main reason I sold it is that the rocker panel under the front driver door was rusting through and I didn’t have the time or money to fix it. That guy had an extra piece to weld in and repair it. I am glad someone got it who collects and repairs these old Toyotas. They were great little cars. The main flaw is that they were ridiculously underpowered. I agree about the over complicated carb with all of the numerous vacuum hoses that were connected to it. Replacing it with the Weber is a good idea. These things would run forever as long as you could keep them from rusting to pieces. Mine was automatic and had a cruise control that never really worked. Automatic turned this into what I called the road legal golf cart because it drove like one.

Even back when these were still commonly roaming the roads, I thought they were ugly wagons, but in fairness, Honda had their own version of a weirdly tall Civic wagon and it was just as ugly. Now, with cars getting so full of BS electronics whether you want them or not, I find the simplicity of this Tercel 4WD wagon very refreshing and the practical design appealing. A slightly lifted 4WD wagon like this makes a hell of a lot more sense for the average person than a comparable-size CUV. Easier entry/exit, better handling, and a lower cargo liftover.

that version of the tercel is called the toyota Carib here in africa. The saloon version of the tercel is called the toyota corsa. Very reliable low consumption cars

Had one of these my senior year in highschool after my full sized ford became a hot rod. I paid all of $200 for it, and HATED it when i first got it. Ugly as sin, and slower than death. But it earned my respect through trial by fire. I literally TRIED to kill it. It would not die, and in fact saved the hot rod a few times. Imagine this little car towing a full sized 70's F100 across town. But it did it!

I had an 83 back in high school. It even had the pitch and incline guages in the middle of the dash. It was a tank.

I have 1987 mitsubishi lancer station wagon full time 4wd. It has 1.8l petrol engine, and I use it mainly for off road. It performs really well for my needs. Some of my neighbors have a tercell 4wd. They are also really good little 4wds.
Here's how the Toyota Tercel wasn't a FWD Corolla
