1995 Toyota Corolla DX review from North America
"Mark another 1 up for Toyota"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS Sensor for front passenger tire malfunctioned.
One engine mount.
Regular maint. otherwise...
General comments?
This is the first car I was able to buy when I was a senior in High School not the typical kid pampered by there parents. As a commuter student I can safely say that this car gets the job done and I have the confidence to drive 30 miles back and fourth to college each day. It's ALMOST like Toyota made this model knowing that it was going to last way after it's prime and did a beautiful job constructing this vehicle. It's not going to win any races off the line and the automatic does a good job shifting comfortably except when going up hills. That's probably the worst thing about this vehicle is the fact that when going on overpasses and up hills I basically need to FULL THROTTLE the acceleration to sap up enough energy to make it up (it honestly feels like the cars heart is beating through the HOOD). If your looking for a first car that isn't going to break the bank, this has to be it.
