The suspension changes are joined by an increase in tyre width of 10mm versus the outgoing model. The suspension, too, has been completely revised, with changes to the torsion beam at the rear, new coil springs all-round, and recalibrated dampening in conjunction with an additional 20mm of suspension travel – to provide substantially improved ride quality without compromising on handling.

Despite the increase in performance, the fuel index remains low, ranging between 5.4 and 5.7 litres/100km, while CO2 emissions check in at 127 to 133g/km. Performance figures clock in at 11.2s for the 0-100km/h sprint, with the top speed registering 175km/h. The 1.5-litre engine employs a traditional 16-valve layout and VVT-i to offer a great balance of torque, willingness to rev and fuel efficiency. This enhances performance by 9kW (for a total power output of 77kW), while the torque receives an 8Nm amplification to take it to a max of 138Nm. The newcomer also gets a boost in performance with the adoption of a larger 1.5-litre K15B engine (as employed in the Urban Cruiser), replacing the outgoing 1.4-litre mill.

The sporty, three-spoke steering wheel includes matching grey metallic inserts and a flat-bottom edge, large Toyota insignia and conveniently placed steering switches – to provide the perfect driver interface. A 60/40 split seatback provides the option to expand the 314-litre boot space and create even more utility. Spaciousness and comfort remain a hallmark of the new Starlet. The Carfax is light on facts prior to 1991, but shows no issues except the odometer rollover in 2001 which backs up the mileage claim.The rear seats feature enhancements, too, with improved thigh and shoulder support.

The original window sticker from Toyota Midtown in New York City lists the original purchase price with optional equipment. Purchased new in New York, it had dealer added weather proofing to the undercarriage and engine bay areas but the seller has removed the coating under the hood for a cleaner appearance. In 2012 the head gasket, rear main seal, water pump, and master cylinder were all replaced. Recent work performed includes an oil change with a new battery and alternator.
