The 1992 Tercel entered the model year virtually unchanged, since it had just been overhauled the year before.
The 1992 Toyota Tercel came in four trim levels. The coupe was offered as a base or DX (deluxe) model, and the sedan was available as a DX or LE. All shared the same 1.5-liter, 82 horsepower four cylinder engine. Not surprisingly, the 1992 Toyota Tercel got excellent gas mileage, at about 30 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. The base models only came with a four-speed manual transmission, while the DX and LE models also had the choice of a three-speed automatic.
Drivers love the 1992 Toyota Tercel for its reliability and economy. The Tercel is not a luxury car, but that is just fine with Tercel owners, who say they’d rather not have a big car payment every month. Some complain that the back seat and trunk are too small, and others say the car can be unsafe in an accident because of its size.

(16 reviews)I am writing about my 1992 Toyota Tercel. This was hands down the best car I ever owned. I bought her new and drove her to 130K in 3 years. She traveled the country with me. I never had a problem and she always started right up. I made the terrible error of trading her for a Geo Tracker. Yeah, I know big mistake. I had just moved to Florida and wanted a convertable. If you find one that is actually for sale, and you want a great cheap car, buy it!
My 1992 Tercel was my first car. I bought it when it was three years old with 60,000 miles on it. I Drove it for eight years until I unfortunately got into an accident totaling the car. The car had about 250,000 miles on when I had to say good bye to it. During the time that I owned my tercel It gave me literally no trouble. Just some brake work done, calipers froze up on me once. The Engine Started burning some oil at 200,000 miles, I was using about a quart every 600 miles or so at 230,000 miles. The Engine still ran great regardless. I had a 80 mile round trip commute to work for years in this car, mostly via interstate highway and I loved driving this car on the Highway. It would cruise along so smooth even at speeds in the 75 - 85 MPH rang sometimes even going 90 mph on the days I would be running late. The noise level in the cabin is a little high on the highway, but still quieter then most other cars of this class. I drove in a lot of bad snow storms in this car as well and for a car this size it handled pretty well on slippery roads. I never went off the road driving in Horrible snow storms on the interstate. It was a little tricky to change lanes on a snow covered highway. Overall this car was AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My folks bought me a new red 92 Toyota Tercel when I first moved on my own. I drove all over san francisco with this little red tercel. I named him Terry. We were close and i kept excellence maintenance and never had a single problem with him. Sold Terry to a friend who just recently had to part ways with him, 15 years later.
