1998 Toyota Tercel CE Startup Engine & In Depth Tour 

My dad has one. His is called a Corsa, and has electric windows and mirrors. Great cars, he's had it for probably 20 years.Service it once a year it will probably go on forever. No rust, paint not peeling, helped by having a white colour. They are a short bodied, narrower version of the Corolla. As such they are very cramped inside and really only suitable for 2 adults and two children, or two small adults. The back seat is very cramped, I'm 6ft and always banging my head when I get inside. I refuse to go on a long distance trip in the back seat. They are a great commuter car, good on gas, cheap to service.1500cc engine, but quite nippy. The brakes, I find way too soft and weak.The steering is light and very responsive, the suspension is soft and comfortable and puts bigger cars to shame. Easy to park, runs on 91 unleaded gas. He's had a few minor repairs done to it, but nothing too major. I knew someone who travelled around the world working, he always said the first thing he did when he arrived in a new country was hunt one of these down as they are so cheap to run.

wow! the engine sounds great! my tercel is a 99' and has 308k on it. it sounds very weak and nothing like the one in the video, im jealous

I am 6'4", 210lbs and had one of these Tercels for a little while. 1998 green - automatic. I had enough room and the car was amazing on gas. Sold it and got a 2nd gen Lexus GS300, great car. But I do miss the gas efficiency and simplicity of the Tercel.

I daily drive a '97 White Hawk Tercel and it goes hard ngl. 129,000mi on the clock, still going strong and getting 25mpg currently (could be better, but it needs a bit of a tune)

Holy hell this is a throwback. One of my all time fav cars i ever owned. Have never had anything more reliable.

Tercels have to be my favourite Toyotas. Had a 83 and a 92. Great little cars.

The only car you'll ever need.

I love tercels. I have 2 of them now. One is a '97 2-door and the other is a '96 4-door.

This man have the tercel very preserved

básic basic basic and basic. tercel ftw

It NEVER attract my attention.. not only recently in may 2020!!.. saw one guy driving one the other day parked it ..it may sound funy but the car was awesome!! Really modfide (body wise) but the interiour is stock to the bone with only a fold screen i didn't know what it was till i walked to him and had a word..good looking and he said it never broke down not even once!! i am striving one right now..

I have a '99 5 speed, love it.

It´s a good car, that´s I was hear about it, , thanks for sharing Sr.

My dad has that car..!

My tercel was a 1.3L 4cyl petrol engine it was a 5-speed manual gearbox and it lasted 18 years The best car my dad ever had. Sadly, its not longer with us :(

Nice video, thank you for sharing. I remember seeing these on the road all the time, back in the day. I have always been drawn to '" Plain Jane" cars. Simply less stuff to fix down the road. I figure I just may not have that $400.00 one day to fix a power window. And anyway what's so hard about twisting a knob 5 times? You have a pleasing persona and good style, Thank you.

RELIABLE CAR

سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم

tercel is a nice car and gas saver

اللهم صل وسلم على سيدنا محمد

How do you know that the car's odometer is calibrated in kilometers-if that is miles it would be almost 2 times as much. 103k KM =64k Miles. I assume you are in Canada. Are all cars there calibrated in metric?If that is equivalent to 64k miles on an 18 year old car,that is sweet.

nice car

You can't find these at a normal price any longer, they are asking as much as when they were new.

The only Tercel I saw in person my was grandpa 1994 Tercel

Был такой автомобиль. Простой, надëжный, 1997 года, двигатель 1,3 литра, 75 лошадиных сил, карбюраторный. Только хорошие воспоминания. Кстати, он до сих пор на ходу...

best car ever made

If a corolla had a little brother, this tercel would be it

gas saver car

Es maravilloso , yo tengo uno del mismo año y es totalmente confiable , saludos desde CHILE

My dad has a 1995 Toyota tercel

I love manual windows 👍

CHECK Engine light on!?

Does that car not even have a passengers side airbag?? In the US, all cars starting in 1995 had to have dual airbags by law. I've seen some as early as 1990 that had them.

This car is also available in our country bangladesh which we call it toyota corsa

´CE 4 door ? are you in Canada

Check engine light on u should let us know why, sometimes all u need is to reset it, by the way we don’t care it u don’t like manual windows

My aunt had a Tercel

Basically Toyota Soluna at Indonesian market

what did you do with the car? Did you sell it? Really curious my employee needs a car like this.

Was it the precursor to the echo ?

Love love lovee my 98.. I have this exact one.. same color too! Shes a beast on the highway!

in my country every new driver buy this cuz its cheep

No AC??

nice car. I have a request can you do a 2015 honda pilot touring

How much it would cost to replace a new ac compressor & condenser?

What's the fuel efficiency of this car

What is a tilt steering wheel?

Next time you should perhaps turn off radio in the car while making video
