1985 Toyota Corolla review from North America
"Reliable, great on gas, decent ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Other than wear and tear, nothing.
General comments?
This car refuses to stop, doesn't burn oil, and runs great. It sat for 2 years and I just brought it back to life again. One of the best cars for basic transportation and reliability I have ever saw, even my teenager couldn't kill it.
People complain the '85 is too plain looking, while I get people all the time thinking it is a lot newer than an '85.. And I just love the power sunroof, power brakes, power steering, air conditioning, all on a basic model...
