Toyota Carina Cars
The Toyota Carina is a reliable family car that was manufactured by the Japanese automaker between 1970 and 2001. The model was designed for everyday driving, commuting, and long-distance travel. It became popular in the UK because of its impressive reliability record, durability, fuel efficiency and affordable maintenance costs.
One of the best things about the Carina is that it comes with a range of engines options suitable for UK roads. Petrol options include a 1.6L unit that develops 115bhp or a 2.0L option producing 136bhp. Diesel versions offer either a 2.0L or an inline-four engine delivering up to an impressive combined mpg on UK motorways and urban streets.
The Carina's exterior design was conservative but practical with aerodynamic elements to reduce drag when travelling at higher speeds, making it well suited to long distance journeys. Its interior is spacious with comfortable seating that can accommodate four adults in relative comfort.
Another notable feature is its high level of standard safety equipment which included ABS brakes with brake-force distribution (EBD), driver airbags (later models had dual front airbags), side impact bars and immobiliser.
When it comes to driving performance on British roads, the Toyota Carina doesn't disappoint. Its suspension provides excellent ride comfort thanks to McPherson struts up front, along with multi-link coil springs at the rear leading to smooth handling even when tackling winding country lanes or bumpy surfaces in town centres.
Overall, if you're looking for an affordable, reliable family car capable of providing efficient daily transportation or weekend getaways within the UK without compromising on comfort and performance levels – then consider purchasing a Toyota Carina which continues to remain one of Toyota's most sought after cars for buyers in the United Kingdom today due to its exceptional longevity.
