1984 Toyota Corolla Reviews - Page 3 of 5

The seats were ripped when I first got it. The windshield started leaking a few weeks ago and just abit of rust, no bigger than half a five cent piece near the petrol cap and a bit shocking on cold start ups (it has a manual choke) apart from that nothing else has gone wrong.

It's a good little car picked it up for $1000 and it was in mint condition because an elderly lady owned it and looked after it. It's fairly cheap to run, only $40 to fill the tank from empty, and lasts around 400-500kms depends on how you drive it. It handles quite good, not much body roll through corners, its not the fastest car, but its not bad for a 1.3 carb.

The head gasket failed at 275,000.

The Starter has failed twice (every 100,000 basically)

The Alternator has failed twice (again every 100,000)

The diff has failed once at 160,000.

Requires wheel alignments all too often.

The Dash Plastics have become unusually brittle.

The car takes a hell of a lot of stick, you can flog it harder and harder and it just keeps on going.

It doesn't go fast by any stretch of the imagination, but holds a nice line through corners and is easy to drive and easy on fuel.

The clutch had to be replaced, but I was a young driver just learning how to drive a straight.

After the car was wrecked, it was permanently out of line and went through tons of tires.

Neither of these can be blamed on Toyota.

Had a leaky master cylinder.

My biggest complaint is that I haven't been able to find another one.

Great little car!

Lots of miles on it and was still going strong when it was wrecked, and after :)

It was a nice looking car even though it was so old.

When I first brought the car the big end bearing went.

I had the engine rebuilt with the super charged parts for more strength.

Three years later I was racing a Subaru and I blew the crank shaft again.

I have now put a blue top 4-age engine in it with a super charged gear box.

There very very light in the in back so they get into drifts easy and don't like to come out straight away.

They do there big end bearing easily.

The shocks don't last long when your getting air born all the time.

The coil failed when I first bought it.

Recent thermostat problems have caused overheating.

This is without a doubt the worst car I've owned. That's why it's so much, as I don't care about hurting it.

It has not had any major problems since I got it. And uses hardly a drop of fuel.

I love drifting around corners and rear wheel drive corollas seem to be made for that.

The car's had three accidents without requiring repair, every panel is bent and it looks kinda cool.
