1996 Toyota Corolla Base model review from North America
"Best car ever produced"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, just maintenance.
- Front brakes pads @ 50K.
- Rear brakes drums @ 80K.
- Brake line @ 133K, this is the Northeast, salt eats away the metal, this is normal up here.
- Radiator, @ 90K, my fault, never changed the coolant.
- Rotor and brake pad @ 100K.
- Timing belt @ 88K.
All these are just regular maintenance.
Best car ever produced.
General comments?
Best car ever produced. No wonder they are the number 1 car manufacturer in the world.
They make a good car.
Reliable, you can count it on all the time.
