1990 Toyota Corolla LX review from Costa Rica
"Best car I had ever!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to change the suspension system of the car. Spare parts for Toyotas in Costa Rica are easy to find, and the replacement of these parts was no problem at all.
I also did a tune up on this car a couple of months ago, and now the car is running very good.
General comments?
Excellent performance.
Fuel economy is around 11 L per 100 km, which is in the range of Toyota's technical info.
Engine has more power than expected for a 1.3 L carb.
However a problem is the installation of seat belts in the back seat. They were not installed in 1990, so two point seat belts are the only chance I have so far.
I'm planning to keep this car as long as I can. Excellent car!!!
