1988 Toyota Corolla DX review from North America
"See above"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Trans at 82K. Got newer 90 trans and made all the difference in the world, in acceleration, at stops and higher speeds.
Apparently had a new rebuilt motor, but could have been owner fault like no oil because I can't see this car going bad even if you didn't change the oil regularly. I live in Hawaii on the Big Island, so we don't have very many lights and travel pretty far for every thing. I get a little over 20 mpg average and that's fine considering I only paid 1200.00 for it and 300.00 for the trans.
GLC Great Little Car, it is a wagon too, and has racks for surfboards which I use for just about every thing. It can carry lots plywood sheets, and my 3 boys have grown into men in the back seat of this car, and it is no worse for wear.
Thank You Toyota, this has to be as good of a car as your trucks have been.
Sandi McKinlay.
