Toyota: Toyota Cynos 1996, toyota cynos, fe engine

Question
Hey there - I was thinking about checking out this vehicle, but don't really know anything about them. What are they like?

Its 1300cc manual and has done 90,000ks.

Is there anything I should look for when inspecting the car?

How reliable are they?

1300ccs isn't much but its a small car so I figured the power to wieght ratio might be ok?

looking forward to hearing from you.

Answer
Hi Rupert They are great little cars they have the non turbocharged starlet 4E-FE Engine in them the 1300 cc produces 85 horsepower they also come in a 1500 cc which is a little bit faster and that has 110 horsepower that engine is known as the 5E-FHE cynos's are ultra reliable and are great to drive and easy to park. You don't have to look for anything when inspecting the car apart from general things like brake pads and check if the cambelt has been changed so you don't get stranded also check oil and radiator water. If you need anymore questions answered please feel free to ask. Kind Regards Dean.
