1988 Toyota Corolla GTi review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I had during my 18 months of ownership was water in the headlamp relay resulting in the lights not switching off. This was very easily sorted at little cost. I scored the running costs as cheap because although Toyota parts are expensive, it will rarely let you down.
General comments?
Blistering performance when revved hard. A real understated hot hatch. If you're thinking of buying a Golf/205/XR then go ahead. But be warned! One of these will blow you off the road.
