1985 Toyota Corona GX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Reliable and cheap to run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One window fell out as the bracket was rusted.
Slight oil leak.
Boot leaks.
Interior fan stopped working.
General comments?
Incredibly reliable and cheap to run, but quite slow due to being a heavy car with a small engine.
It has lasted me four years and it has not broken down, and only once has it been to a garage to get work done (window).
