Toyota Starlet Submodels
The Toyota Starlet began in 1973 as a simple subcompact, but it's the later generations that attract enthusiasts. The rear-wheel-drive KP61 (1978-1984) is a legend in grassroots motorsports for its light weight and tossable handling. Later, the front-wheel-drive, turbocharged EP82 GT Turbo and EP91 Glanza V became icons of 90s JDM hot hatch culture, offering impressive performance in a small package.
Collectors seek out the Starlet for its simplicity and tuning potential. A RWD KP61 is a blank canvas for a race car or drift project, while a GT Turbo or Glanza V provides a classic, high-revving turbo experience. They represent an accessible entry point into JDM ownership, offering a direct and unfiltered driving feel that's rare in modern cars.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust thoroughly, especially in the sills, floor pans, wheel arches, and around the tailgate.
- On turbo models (EP82/EP91), inspect for signs of excessive boost, oil leaks from the turbo, and poor quality modifications.
- For RWD KP61 models, listen for whining from the differential or crunching from the gearbox, which can indicate a hard life.
- Interior plastics and fabrics are often brittle and worn. Finding replacement trim can be difficult, so prioritize cars with complete interiors.
