- MarkusWandel 4y agoNo kidding. I used to drive Toyota Tercels of the same vintage. Like a lot of Japanese cars then (and even now) they were totally reliable except for one detail. Only car I've ever had to change the igniter (the electronic part of the ignition system) by the roadside! I had a spare along, just in case, and needed it. Even so, modern cars are really a different show. Current one is 11 years old, driven in a road salt environment, and has 207,000km on it and basically drives almost like new and has no noticeable rust. And has never even had the spark plugs out or the valves touched.
