The 1989 model year marked the final generation for the Toyota Cressida. The impending success of the Lexus made it superfluous for Toyota to have a luxury sedan in its lineup. The 1989 Cressida got a larger, more powerful engine; a bigger, more rounded body; and more standard features, like ABS brakes.
The 1989 Cressida had a 3.0-liter, 190-horsepower, six-cylinder engine. It came standard with an automatic transmission featuring "park lock," which made it impossible to shift out of park unless the gas pedal was depressed. Fuel economy was about 19/24.
Cressida enthusiasts say the '89 is an extremely comfortable car that due to the rear-wheel-drive is fun to drive and with regular maintenance will last for hundreds of thousands of miles. Drivers do caution that in the event your Cressida needs repair, parts can cost a lot.
What owners say
I had a 91 honda accord ex, and I thought that car was nice, well I now own a 89 cressida and it is nicer and more advanced than the honda was. I got the car for $350.00 and it rides quiet and smooth, its a nice little car with get-up-and go power! Really impressed me, my car is nicer than my husbands 94 mazda 929, and I paid less for mine, which really burns his insides! Hah!!
March 31, 2008I had this car for 4 yrs and this car was a tank for built quality. 3.0L Straight 6 cylinder inline engine with 24 valves, 197 bhp rear wheel drive, 0-100 km/h in 9 seconds with 4 people sitting in the car, was last recorded in March 2007. Really comfortable and quiet for crusing on the highway. had power brakes with ABS.
