Toyota Carina E Saloon 2.0 GLi 4d (1993/L) Owner Review

Economy
Value
I bought my car from a dealer who was having a clearout. Best value for money of any car I have ever bought.
Costs
Not owned my car very long. Insurance a bit steep but set against the cost of the car you can't complain.

On the road
Driving
Pleasant to drive. Very comfortable. All the electric gadgets you need. Does feel the bumps a little but I prefer a sporty ride.
Performance
Seems fine although I havn't really put it through it's paces yet. Plenty of go from the 16v unit. Great for safe overtaking.

Living with it
Reliability
I've rated it Five Star. Only based on revews I have read about this car. Will (hopefully) update in about six months.
Image
My car is white and I think it looks as good and as modern as anything on the road. I have a private plate on mine so it could be only 7 years old.
Comfort
Quite a firm ride but seats are very supportive. Nice feel from power steering. Great stereo. Plenty of rear passenger legroom.

Security and Service
Security
Standard Alarm/Immobiliser seems adequate.
Service
Not required attention or servicing yet. Will update after first service or 5,000 miles.
