1991 Toyota Corolla review from North America
"I love it, and miss it dearly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The right wheel started to make a strange noise a few hundred miles ago. Problem was traced to a CV joint that never got fixed because the car got wrecked.
AC compressor went out around 130,000 miles, and was fixed for 500 dollars.
Glove box handle broke, but was easy to replace.
A stick shift with no tachometer still amazes me.
General comments?
The car fits me like a glove.
Relatively long throws on transmission, good feel of where you are and what you're doing in the car. I'm 19 and still managed to get almost 30 mpg out of the car, with it fully loaded with people. Held up extremely well through the almost 30 thousand miles I put on it.
I plan on restoring it when I get the money, because this car has a lot of life left in it.
