Machan we have a ke72 Which is also known as a DX Wagon … 15-8xxx. This car we had it from new and it is a high roof model too though its KE72. Difference I know between KE72 and KE74 is KKE72 has a 1300cc engine with NO rear wippers and heated glass. And the rim size 12 inch.
Ke 74 Comes with 1500cc engine with Rear wipper and heated glass. Also the rim size is 13 inch.
I may be wrong. But thats what the toyota hand book says. KE72 and KE 74 shares the same hand book. (We have all these hand books , manuals and every thing still , coz we are the first owner)
Im telling you guys ... this is a very good car. It has no much power on it. But she has served well for such a long time. This car was always used as a second or the third car. But this was bought for me and my brother to go to school (my first day schooling from grade 1 this was in use and never every had let down..
To my knowledge the body is very hard. We only have painted twice and that may be its always parked in a garage. Engine seems to be solid as well again as we have never touched it. The milage is some where 200,000 km now. Apart from wear and tear parts such as clutch, tyre-rods, suspension parts nothing has gone wrong so far.
In my view, Generaly this is a good car compared to other cars made at that time.
