I love the shape of these cars....hence my notchback. How do these cars handle with basic suspension upgrades? I own a 95 tercel and it is one of the easiest cars to work on. Are the older Toyotas the same? Lately I've had a growing interest in these cars and datsun 510 wagons. They seem like the perfect cars to drive across the county, get good gas mileage, and enjoy some twisty roads.
