1994 Toyota Corolla Seca Ultima Liftback review from Australia and New Zealand
"Excellent car that is too good to part with"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch worn and rear brake discs needed replacement when purchased, which I did straight away.
Paint on the roof is starting to fade.
General comments?
Built 02/1994 and has full electrics as is the Ultima model. Bought the car after someone rear ended my Mazda. This car has been serviced and cared for by the previous owner and now by me. It is totally reliable and has never missed a beat during the 55,000 odd kilometers I have driven in it. It is very fuel efficient and cruises effortlessly, the air conditioner works great too. This is the 2nd Corolla I've owned and would own another without question. I was thinking of buying a new car again but this car is too good to let go.
