ConsBegan to burn or lose oil around 110000 miles - now 125000 although no oil drips on ground.

Get It If You Just Want A Really Economic Car — 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. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Prosfun to drive car Conswas out of alignment after being rear ended. I wouldn't call it safe; although all small cars aren't that safe.

96 Tercel — 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. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Its Great For Pizza Deliveries — 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. |
