This was the first film made on the topic and starred Bradley Whitford. It pretty much hews to the facts of the case, as far as the couple's story goes.
No Wiki article, but http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119363/
The bad guy specializes in stealing '80s J-tin and using them as escape cars before abandoning them - this was factual.
Anyway, his last getaway car which leads to his apprehension appears here:

Great way to look for movie Tercel 4wds is to see ones at IMCDB with search criteria AL25:

There are at least 5 pages of movie AL25:s. Keep your eyes open for interesting Tercel 4wd's. This one is especially interesting for me although year of manufacture is not correct:

it seems it has been a while since anyone reported a movie sighting, but I saw one last night:

Sunshine Cleaning: with Amy Adams and Emily Blunt. 2009 with some big name talent. story is about two down on their luck sisters in Am that have a lot of childhood family trauma to overcome and start a cleaning business. the main character played by Amy Adams drives a dull grey DLX, but appears to have SR5 seats (1985), but has the 4wd badge on the grill. It is kind of a difficult moving to watch (it is more of a downer chic flick, my wife and visiting daughter wanted to see it on Amazon prime). but it has a decent ending. the Tercel4wd is on screen a lot, though it plays only a supporting role. odd I could not find any pictures of it in any online pictures of the film. I found it fun to watch only because of the Tercel in it.
'87 Tercel 4wd SR5 (current engine swap project)
'84 Tercel 4wd (daily driver, with on going mods)
'92 Mazda MPV 4wd (wife's daily driver)
'85 Tercel 4wd DLX auto(daughter's daily driver)
'01 Honda Civic (other daughter's daily driver)

that is it!

it appears to be a 4wd, but has the DLX trim, AND SR5 seats. not much other details could be determined despite it being prominently shown through out the movie.
