Are you looking for a cheap Toyota car? Meet the Toyota Fielder, which has stood out among the pre-owned cars in the Brazilian automotive market in recent years.
Station wagons have disappeared from the Brazilian automotive market and, currently, the only options are limited to the nababesques Audi RS6 Avant and Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo. Among the models that disappeared is the Toyota Fielder. This is a cheap Toyota car that stopped being manufactured about 16 years ago and the vast majority of which have hundreds of thousands of kilometers on the clock.
Why buy a used Toyota Fielder in 2024?
It is worth mentioning that the Toyota's cheap car shares with the Corolla the reputation for robustness and reliability, supported by an authorized network known for the quality of customer service and services provided, even after the warranty.
The large supply of parts, whether original or aftermarket, and the relative mechanical simplicity in the automotive market, contribute to it being highly rated by independent workshops.

It is therefore very common to find a Toyota Fielder in excellent condition, even after several years of good service. Measuring 8 cm less than the sedan, this cheap car from Traz has the same interior space, capable of accommodating three adults in the comfortable reclining rear seat. The 26 liters less in the 411-liter trunk are compensated by the practicality of the large rear lid.
Between the 2005 and 2007 lines, the Toyota Fielder only had one version and one optional, the four-speed automatic transmission, which paired well with the 1.8 engine with variable valve timing and 136 horsepower.
The model offered air conditioning, front airbags, ABS, alloy wheels, CD player and electric windows, but lacked an on-board computer and cruise control. In 2006, fog lights became standard.
What to look for when buying a Toyota Fielder?
Although it is a cheap Toyota car in the Brazilian automotive market, it is necessary to pay attention to some points in the Toyota Fielder.
O 1ZZFE engine does not use hydraulic tappets and, therefore, valve clearance must be checked every 20 km, with mandatory adjustment at 60 km. Smoke from the exhaust indicates failure in the valve seals. Wear on the tripoid joints generates vibration in the front wheels even after balancing.
One of its strong points is the suspension and, as such, it is almost always neglected. Leaking shock absorbers and boots are not a good sign and abnormal noises can be caused by worn bushings and stops. Most have lost their original interior finish, made of fragile plastic, which breaks quite easily.
Its presence is a sign of the owner's care, as it prevents the accumulation of debris and noise at high speeds. The automatic transmission fluid should be replaced every 40 km, in addition to changing the filter and cleaning the magnets that retain the filings.
Which is the best cheap Toyota car unit to buy?
Those who are planning to buy a Toyota Fielder can buy it without fear, regardless of the version or type of transmission, as long as it has an automatic and electrical system up to date. Beautiful, robust and comfortable, Toyota's cheap car costs around R$30.
With all the qualities mentioned above, it is normal to find units with more than 200 thousand km in full condition.
The first rule if you are going to opt for the automatic transmission version is to check if the transmission fluid has been changed on time. Maintenance, which consists of cleaning the magnets that retain the filings, in addition to changing the filter and the fluid, should be done every 40 km.
