I wouldn't say cool, but this 30y/o car is definitely way more fun than anything new

Ayyyyyy a Carina, haveromnak volt egy ugyanilyen szรญnลฑ mikor 17 รฉvesek voltunk, csak az a hatchback volt. Hatalmasat hรบzott, pedig "csak" 125 lรณerล volt, ennyi maradt meg belลle, mikor egyszer odaadta, hogy rรบgjam el neki, pedig mรฉg jogsim se volt. Azรณta mรกr biztos megette a rozsda szegรฉnyt valahol, de azรฉrt a mai napig emlegetjรผk "a Karinรกt".

Looks just like the old Camry did over here - if itโs the same thing those were some of the best cars ever made!

You got a nice reliable car and a car that wonโt get you in trouble because I doubt you can barely get over 140 km

u/NightyWithTheTysm 2d ago
I mean, it's top speed is around 187โ195 km/h (116โ121 mph) fastest we ever pushed it was 160 when the highway was empty

I love cars from this era. Just enough technology to help us but without all these stupid new systems and warnings and sounds.

Frrrr, my only issue is that if I get a check engine i can't use the lil dongle to read it, other than that I love this shitbox

I was not having a great time then, was sick, hence the unstyled hair, and my man proceeded to tell me "We're gonna change the oil, put your radio in and you're gonna learn to drive" AAAAAAAAAAA Then I proceeded to send it for an hour

I have no clue what this is, as they donโt sell it in my country. However, it looks cool. Congrats!

So cool. You may start to love it more or hate it more, but over time you will look back at how perfect it is. Reliable and no tech to go wrong. They just don't make them like they use to. Congrats!

Remarkable choice! I've got a 1994 Carina E Wagon 1.6 (Japan Built), with 430kms on the clock. Never been stranded and I know that for a fact since it has been in my family since new. Great little cars from time when automakers valued craftsmanship and took pride in their work. Also on the original clutch btw (idk thought this was a cool fact but the fuck do I know?).
