1997 Toyota Corolla DX review from North America
"Toyota = Reliability!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
This car is incredible, its reliability is amazing.
Pro's for this vehicle:
As long as you keep it maintained (oil changes, transmission fluids, other fluids), the car will run without any problems. On average I get 34/38 mpg which is awesome.
Cons:
I have found this vehicle to be a bit conservative on space.
Another negative thing, which scares me to death, is merging on to highways; it has no pickup speed. After a while I get used to the fear of death when enter a highway entrance ramp. I will drive my baby till she dies :' (
