Overview of the car "Toyota Sprinter Marino"

Recently, foreign cars have fallen in price so much that they are able to compete even with second-hand models from AvtoVAZ. One such is the Toyota Sprinter Marino. This machine was serially produced from 1992 to 1998. Especially it is popular beyond the Urals. Now "Toyota Sprinter Marino" is sold at a price of 90 to 170 thousand rubles. The machine has not lost its shape yet and is able to compete with modern state employees. What is the Toyota Sprinter Marino? The photo and the review of the car - further in our article.

Design

From the usual "Sprinter" this model differs in other design of the front part. Mostly, the changes were made by optics. The "Marino" is equipped with wide headlights with white turn signals. What is noteworthy: there are no followers on the wing (and on the mirrors as well). But there are rectangular fog lights, neatly placed in the lower part of the bumper.

The machine has very thin body racks. And the very shape of the roof is very round and "licked". A distinctive feature of the car "Toyota Sprinter Marino" - the possibility of installing an optional spoiler. He looks very harmoniously against the backdrop of the machine and makes it look finished and exported. By the way, in the back part there are very wide lanterns. This is a whole strip that stretches through the entire body of the car.

"Marino" is made in the body of a hardtop. In view of this, it is very similar to the Toyota Mark-2. It is both a business sedan and a sports car. The Japanese managed to combine two completely different beliefs. And they did it. The machine attracts looks even now, after more than 20 years.

Salon

Inside is the classic JDMa. The machine was produced only in the right-hand drive. Also there is a soft velor and comfortable seats. The lateral support in them is expanded as if it's a car for ring races. But no, the "Marino" is a normal civil car that comfortably delivers you from one point to another.

The car dashboard has dials. Optionally, it was not possible to put an electronic shield, as it was on "Crown" and other Toyota. The central console is quite modest - the control unit of the stove, cassette radio and a pair of air ducts. Despite all this, the car has excellent noise insulation. Plastic does not rattle on bumps and pleasant to the touch.

Note that the "Toyota Sprinter Marino" was produced in several trim levels:

  • F (the most budgetary, on 13-inch "stamping").
  • X (mean).
  • G-type (luxury).

But even in the base already there were electric windows of all doors, air conditioning, glass heating and velor seat upholstery. Regardless of the modification, the machine was notable for its high build quality. As for versions X and G-type, they differed in the leather trim of the steering wheel and gearshift lever. The steering wheel and chair were adjusted on the electric drive. There was also an armrest between the front passenger and driver's seat. He was very spacious - they say reviews. The Toyota Sprinter Marino is a very comfortable car. On it without fatigue it is possible to overcome hundreds of kilometers.

Toyota Sprinter Marino: specifications

Three petrol engines were provided for the car. All of them had a linear arrangement of cylinders. So, the base is a one-and-a-half-liter unit for 105 horsepower. In the middle of the "X-tipe" type, a 1.6-liter power unit was already available. Its peak power was 115 horsepower. The motor has good dynamic characteristics for its volume.

So, the acceleration to a hundred took 11.9 seconds. Top versions were manned by a 165 horsepower motor. This "monster" dispelled "Marino" to hundreds in 9 seconds.

Transmission

The car was manned by different types of transmissions. Among them was a five- and six-speed mechanics, as well as a 4-band automatic. Strange as it may seem, but the most common was the machine. It is quite reliable, as the reviews say. However, in the city this car is very gluttonous. For a hundred, it will consume at least 12 liters in the most economical cycle. Another point is riding on the road.

Many express their dissatisfaction about the 4-stage torque converter, with which the motor on the road rests almost in the "cutoff". But here it is worth noting that the automaton on the "Toyota Marino" had a mode of "overdrive". This is imitation of the fifth gear. The corresponding indicator lights up on the panel. Due to this function, the machine could move in economy mode at a speed of 110-130 kilometers per hour. When you press the brake, the electronics automatically go to the fourth gear.

Chassis

As a basis, the Japanese took the "Toyota Corolla". Therefore, there are minimal differences along the running line. Front - the classic "McPherson", behind - the beam on the torsion bars. By the way, the suspension itself had a limited stroke.

The owners say that it is a pit machine that behaves very harshly. Therefore, the installation of low-profile rubber is not recommended. At the same time, the car is pleased with its manageability. The car is literally sharpened for the sporting character of the ride. And this is a big plus.

Conclusion

So, we found out what the given car is. The car is quite reliable, even after 20 years. The design is not yet crammed with all sorts of options and technical innovations. Here there is a simple atmospheric engine and an archaic torque converter. If the Toyota Sprinter Marino does not start, it means that the gasoline has run out in the tank, or its owner did not do any maintenance at all. With due care this car will please with kilometers of trouble-free operation.
