1986 Toyota Corona CS review from Australia and New Zealand
"Bloody good value for money. Reliable transport. It grows on you"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing Belt Broke at 158000, did well to get that far I reckon, obviously wasn't replaced near 100k. Put a new one in and away she went. Have had a recurrent problem with radiator clogging despite using 'green stuff' all the way through. Probably due to long periods remaining dormant.
General comments?
Best car I've ever owned. very reliable and has served me well. With a regular maintenance schedule I reckon this car will last for at least another 20 years (if we still have petrol then).
