1986 Toyota Corona CS review from Australia and New Zealand
"A great comfortable and Reliable car,"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I Bought the car cheap with a blown motor, Replaced this with second hand motor. Purrs like a kitten!
Replaced water pump.
Replaced fuel pump.
General comments?
The corona was a very sturdy and reliable car.
Although no rocket ship, the performance was adequate. It was particularly bad on the highway {sometimes overheated}, but
this could be remedied by the instalation of a 5 speed manual in place of the 3 speed auto.
The handling had a lot of body roll,
but with lowered springs and anti roll bars, would be quite good.
My next car will certainly be a corona
But maybe next time a manual CSi or Avante.
