Toyota Publica Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1969–1978) — Second Generation
If you’re considering a second-generation Toyota Publica Coupe, think about how often you’ll drive it. Mechanical condition and access to someone familiar with older cars can make a substantial difference to the ownership experience.
Examples of Toyota Publica engine and transmission combinations include the gasoline 0.8 MT and 0.8 AT. The manual gives you direct control over gear selection, while the automatic reduces the work of driving in stop-start traffic. During a test drive, check for smooth engine response and consistent transmission operation.
