1986 Toyota Corolla CSX review from Australia and New Zealand
"So far it cannot be destroyed. I have tried!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In nearly 4 years the only thing that had gone wrong with the car (other than tyres and rego) is one front of the suspension broke. I was not even aware till I had it in the shop getting new tyres put on, and when they took the wheel off, the strut just fell out!! It still drove fine!!
General comments?
Engine / gearbox / clutch has never been touched. I have had 4 turbo cars since I have owned this car (I use it for daily run about to work).
And I have given this car HELL sometimes trying to thrash it to the point that it will blow up, but it does not.
I only paid $475 for it, and it has been the best car I have ever owned... other than it looks terrible and the colour is bad, and it is scratched... but it just runs so well, and has never given me one problem.
