Summary:
Not fast or flash, but damn reliable
Faults:
Radiator needed to be replaced at 150,000 K's.
Head gasket leak killed it at 283,000 K's, which killed it at the end.
General Comments:
Possibly the best car I've owned.
Had owned it for 18 years, and was driven every day and everywhere, and tackled all challenges like a champ.
Found it able to go 550-600 K's on a full tank of petrol. Which is pretty economical.
Body was hard and didn't pick up scratches / dings / dents easily.
Parts were cheaper to come by later on, as people sent them off to the scrap heap.
Easy car to learn how to do basic maintenance on - oil, spark plugs etc.
Wish they still built this car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I agree with everything said in the previous review. I have had my 1994 2.0 GL Toyota Corona for about 7 years now, and it has been great. It's done over 205,000 kms now, always starts first pop, tows well, and has a good paint finish that still looks good. I would definitely recommend this car.
