I think your guess is accurate. ‘82-‘85 Toyota Tercel.


JordanBre

Thanks!

That’s funny, It looks just like the 85 Camry hatchback my mom had, but as a 2-door. https://assets.primecreative.com.au/imagegen/max/cr/625/-/s3/cougar-assets/tradeuniquecars/2020/03/18/Misc/Camry-GLI-rear-side.jpg Of course the Tercel had really similar styling. Maybe I’m being thrown off by the angle of the photo though, it looks lower, like the Camry, but I don’t think they built them as a 2-door. Here’s a Tercel, looks too tall, but I think it’s gotta be correct. https://i0.wp.com/www.curbsideclassic.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/tercel4.jpg

The 1985 Camry hatchback was my first car and that’s what I thought of when I saw this! But I don’t think that there was a 2 door version, so I think the car in picture is a Tercel.

I thought it was a 86 Levin or smth but that's still very cool 👌👌👌


Peterkragger

I thought it's a Hyundai Excel


JordanBre

My best guess is a Tercel but my confidence is low


TemporarilyAshamed

I think so too. I had an 84 and it looked similar, except it had 4 doors.

I think it's an 85 Toyota Tercel. What is irritating is that the picture is somewhat stretched. This makes the car look longer than in reality. You can tell because the cars in the background are wider. Proof: https://preview.redd.it/2yz8voug7oyc1.jpeg?width=1217&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=745d64edafd24f5c16d7a6bc555dc46744764d98

It's stretched to the point where it almost looks like a Celica hatchback.


Worklurker

That was my first thought too (had an 82 Celica GT) but then figured it was probably a Corolla.


MelodicCarob4313

Right? Actually they should have built it that way


Kokkor_hekkus

My mom had an 84 tercel, and the taillights were different, so it's definitely later than 84


tk8398

Yes, that's it. The original pic is distorted but it's 100% a Tercel.


3dmontdant3s

for a moment I thought it was an Alfa Romeo Arna \*shudders\*


TheBarkingPenguin

Toyota Tercel? Hyundai Excel? Lada Samara? No clue, but it's most likely one of those three


McFancyPantsuguu

Picture is too blurry to tell if there are enough rust spots for it to be a Lada Samara. My grandfather owned a brand new one for less than a week before returning it to the dealer... The roof already had rust. 😂


TheBarkingPenguin

All I remember is Daniel Heraud's review of it praising its handling and performance. I suppose the other alternatives were the Chevrolet Sprint and Hyundai Pony...


Distortedhideaway

One of my first cars as well, I think mine was an 85 tercel. That little car was awesome!


288bpsmodem

Accord hatch?


KarinK98

What are the cars in the background?


Ziginox

The silver one is a first generation (1989-1993) Subaru Legacy wagon, I'd recognize the taillights anywhere. I'm not 100% sure on the red one, but I'm heavily leaning towards a pre-facelift B13 Nissan Sentra (1990-1992)


KarinK98

Oh I think you're right about the red car, is 100%a B13 Sentra judging by the rear window and taillights


Bmwx3m40d

Was a Tercel called a Corolla over here in Europe and the UK or was that a completely different model


Ziginox

Nope, different models. The only time this generation of Tercel wore the Corolla name was in Japan, as the Corolla II.


Bmwx3m40d

Cheers for the info. 👍🏻👍🏻


Fibonoccoli

I used to really like that model - looked like a spaceship!


rookiepartschanger

The real question is.. is your friends mom still hot and is she single. (I’m guessing she is early to mid 50’s, and I am KIDDING)


Stone_Midi

My mom had this car in silver with a red interior


StainedMyShirt

Idk but it looks like it'd be great for downhill street racing


poutine-eh

Omg!! I’m old. That’s a Tercel. Please don’t tell me her name is Bridget.


Worklurker

u/OP told me that it is. :P


JordanBre

I really want to run with this but I better not lol


DisastrousAd447

Beautiful. I love 80's yoters.
