1998 Toyota Corolla G6 review from UK and Ireland
"Pint sized, pocket rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rubber surrounds from around the headlights had come loose. Quickly sorted out with some double sided tape though.
I have had a strange clattering noise from the engine for a while, I had belts changed and a Toyota dealer looked at it, but nothing was resolved, it goes as the engine warms up and doesn't appear to affect the performance.
General comments?
This car has an excellent specification for a small family sized car, plenty toys to keep you happy in the majority of traffic jams.
I can't fault the handling or performance either, for a 1.3 engine it can certainly move when you need it to, it's made my journey to work seem much more enjoyable.
