1986 Toyota Corona st141 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Ever so reliable!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Left electric mirror broken.
Electric antenna sleeve has come undone.
Window washer pump broken and replaced ($5)
General comments?
This is a fantastic first car
Nothing mechanically has gone wrong.
The air con is freezing and works great on warmer days. This car is cheap to repair and can really take a good thrashing. The St141 2s engines are bulletproof.
I'm 6'2 and there's plenty of room, Avante seats hug you when cornering.
I'd recommend this car to any 1st car buyer.
