1978 Toyota Corolla CS review from Australia and New Zealand

Starter motor failed at 260,000km.

Electrics are a bit fragile - gauges read inaccurately most of the time.

Noisy at over 80km/h. Partly due to broken

muffler.

This car is extremely reliable.

I'm tired of the 4-speed gearbox. It makes the engine rev too high. I travel 40km to work every morning, mostly at 100km/h and

although it only costs me $40/week in petrol, this could improve further if it wasn't revving at 4000 rpm at 100km/h.

I need help in finding a 5-speed manual gearbox to suit this car.

I want to keep this car for a while, so I'd like to make it less noisy/thirsty.

It drives me dotty!
