1989 Toyota Corolla XL review from Sweden
"Reliable and low costs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It is very rusty, and it is difficult to repair.
The fan to the air-condition only works at the two top speeds. This makes it very noisy.
The rear suspension gave up after 170000km.
General comments?
This is a very reliable car. It is not very comfortable, but it takes me from A to B without any problems.
It does not need any maintenance, apart from new oil and oilfilter once a year.
It does not drink a lot of fuel. 7,3 liter / 100km.
