894.0. "Toyota Carina OK?" by DOOZER::VTX (Chris Lever) Fri Dec 15 1989 15:32

    I am interested in a Toyota Carina as a family car and caravan tower.
    Anybody out there with any experience of this?  Views?  Opinions?
    
    Better (economical) alternatives?

	Oops - only just seen this. I have the mark 1 version of the Carina (D reg) and am very pleased with it. Comfortable for the driver, though I guess the velety-type upholstery isn't too practical with a clutch of sprogs in the back. Mine has a flat spot on the acceleration that tuning doesn't seem to cure. But the power steering is a dream for parking, and the usual small (Japanese) touches are good. Like a foot rest for the left foot, buzzer to warn of lights left on, an internally released petrol flap. Which? magazine rates it highly for reliability. Peter
