Looking for a hatchback? This 1988 Toyota Starlet could be the answer for your daily commute. It's a compact New Zealand built with a 1.0-litre petrol engine and manual gearbox.

These little Starlets have earned a solid reputation for being reliable, fuel-efficient runabouts. With its light weight and nimble handling, it's ideal for city driving and tight parking spaces. As a three-owner import, it's been used but now needs some work to fix it up.
