1982 Toyota Corolla GL review from Pakistan
"Stylish, cheap, reliable and a classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Side windows of my car are loose. I hate the noise when the window is rolled down and I close the door.
It is a common old liftback problem, I hope I get someone to fix it for me.
Dashboard cracks, I met a person who reconditions the dashboards and he will make it brand-new.
Driving seat was broken from the foundation, I got it fixed.
General comments?
This model has been my childhood fantasy car.
Its looks are great even if I park it with a brand new Corolla I still find it more attractive.
The only problem I see in this car is with its side windows, these windows are pillar less and therefore with the passage of time their alignments become faulty. Otherwise it's an all rounder, and time has not really done any serious harm to it.
These cars were built to last, I know this and I therefore only buy old cars, they never let me down.
