1989 Toyota Corolla GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great Little Petrol Burner Very CHEAP"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rip in seats RUST is the worst in all little corollas of these years 1989 - 1992.
General comments?
This car is Great and reliable can run up to 400,000 before dies maybe even more if well looked after Handles great with a wheel alignment even tho it doesn't have power steering my Toyota is roughly 17 years old and the paint is now degrading with the age. We pulled the engine out and totally rebuilt it now it could take even more thrashing and I would reakon it could last another 4 - 500,000 and sell for quite a bit if I get it painted like I have planned.
