1988 Toyota Corolla AE82 Twin Cam review from Australia and New Zealand
"A Classic sports car for a good price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing wrong with the car yet. Only things are that the dizzy is leaking, and there is a power steering pump leak (small).
Some rust on the A Pillar and in the door panels, but nothing major.
General comments?
This car is a really good car for the beginner (manual) and has heaps of get up and go. For its engine size and capacity, you can't go wrong and with a 7750 rpm red line, why not get one! they are reliable (if taken care of) and will keep on driving!
Really happy with the car. Can suprise other cars of similar engine size, and newer too.
