Toyota Carina E Hatchback 2.0 Executive 5d (1992/J) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Good second-hand buy, especially with the predecessor.
Costs
Parts/servicing higher than a lot of cars, but this car rarely needs parts and doesn't go wrong like others.

On the road
Driving
Very fast (8.8s to 60mph), but handling is poor (but why should you need it).
Performance
Very fast indeed. Can go 130mph very quickly.

Living with it
Reliability
Nothing's gone wrong, just service costs. Oil change required every 2,500 miles for longer life.
Image
Not very good. But then, I don't stare at the car!
Comfort
Very comfortable.

Security and Service
Security
Great, but unlikely candidate for boy racers.
Service
Excellent.
