Agreed! I had a 1981 Toyota Cressida 4dr sedan with a 2.8L inline 6-cylinder. The engine was as smooth as silk. Even when it blowed a head gasket and was running on 5-cylinders, it was still smooth.

What a car it was. Too bad the head gasket went. I gave it to grandpa- he knew a guy that was going to repair for him at a low rate, but the guy never did it. Grandpa did not need the car, so he sold it to his neighbor for $200 who was going to repair it for his granddaughter. She got into some mischief and he sold it from under her.

I have no idea where the car is now.
