1982 Toyota Cressida Preview summaryImage

The Cressida, Toyota's luxury vehicle, was completely redone the year before and therefor did not change for 1982.

The 1982 Toyota Cressida was available as a wagon or a sedan. The engine was a 2.8-liter, 116-horsepower six cylinder, and it came standard with an automatic transmission. A five-speed manual was available as an option. The Cressida was known for coming with many standard features not typically found in cars of that era, like a cassette player and air conditioning.

Drivers love the 1982 Toyota Cressida, with some saying it was the best car they ever drove. They say the interior is extremely well equipped, the engine is amazingly quiet, the rear wheel drive makes it fun to drive, and if taken care of they last forever. Some more adventurous drivers also appreciate the all-rubber bumpers. Some have had rust problems, and many wish for a larger engine.

Most reliable, solid, quiet car we've ever owned (28 yrs now!) w/167,000 mi. No troubles, some rust these days, best sound system of any car we ever had as well. When you put power, it responds immediately with a little zip. Good for another 100K mi. Leather seats crumbling from sun roof left open in rain, will recover soon.Aug 21, 2010

For a 1982 model car it is very ahead of its time with AC, electric windows/sunroof and powersteering. it is very well built when i locked my keys in it, RACQ had trouble breaking into it, the 2.8 6 cylinder isnt too bad, just very thirsty. it is a fun car to drive in the wet. Aug 11, 2009

It may not be the best looking car, the fastest car or even the most comfortable. But when it cost 60 dollars YES SIXTY DOLLARS had 325,000kms and still started first time every time then you know you have a winner! Even the electric sunroof still worked.May 28, 2008
