1988 Toyota Corolla GL review from UK and Ireland
"A good, reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust, rust and more rust. The rear wheelarches were a real problem.
The starter motor squealed from the day I bought it. It never packed up though!
General comments?
A great car and not expensive to run. Japanese care are supposed to be expensive for parts, but parts were always cheap for the Corolla.
