1985 Toyota Corolla DX 5-door review from North America
"BEST car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I put front brakes and rotors on it, front struts, ignition module, 4 tires, slave cylinder, plugs and wires, and all new filters. Extremely reliable car.
General comments?
I LOVED this car, have kicked myself in the rear since getting rid of it. I paid $400.00 for it when I bought it, drove it back and forth to work for several years and replaced only the listed items, then sold it for $400.00 because I no longer needed a third car. For the $400.00 I got out of it, I should have kept it. At one time I even had it completely loaded up with fire wood from front to back. Mile for mile, this was the best car I have ever owned, started right up on the coldest of mornings or hottest of afternoons. I would pay twice what I paid for mine for another one in a heartbeat.
