1987 Toyota Corolla Hatchback review from Iceland
"An incredibly reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car never failed to start and run in the twenty years my family had it.
As maintenance the exhaust system, battery, brakes, water tank, suspension and other things were replaced. This was all easy to do at home, the car has never been to a garage. Since corollas are a popular cars, cheap spare parts are easy to find.
General comments?
Being a 1988 model, and lacking power steering, power brakes etc it's handling can't be compared with modern car.
