Nice high interior, fit this tall person nicely. I sold it at 280,000 miles (still on original engine) with no 4th gear (5sp manual trans) and it has continued to run that way for 4 years (including three road trips to Texas and four to Lake Tahoe). Inelegant, but dependable. Also quite discontinued.
Damned straight! My tercel gets van. to smith in 1.5 tanks of gas. Mind you, once you hit 140kms it feels a bit like a windsurfer! Best $$ I ever spent! Toyota didn't seem to care about planned obsolescence with that one!
