Toyota Starlet 1.3 Kudos 3d (1994/M) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
It's a very simple car, missing basic things like a cigarette lighter which, although I don't smoke, would have been useful for 1 or 2 things.
Costs
I have found insurance to be high, even though I've got my full no claims etc.

On the road
Driving
I don't feel safe driving above 65 miles. It doesn't feel like it grips the road.
Performance
Occasionally I have had trouble starting her, but when it's cold or I've been on holiday and she's not been driven for a week. Mind you, it's still the original battery although I've had it checked.

Living with it
Reliability
It really is reliable. It never has let me down. It just keeps on going.
Image
Image doesn't bother me, but it's poor in this section.
Comfort
I don't recommend it for long journeys. I tend to get backache.
