1986 Toyota Corolla review from Bangladesh
"God gifted friend"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
As I never treat my car as a tool, I do not want to say anything about its problem.
General comments?
Yes, Corolla is my dream car, specially 1986 Se-Saloon (EE80) (Japanese Home Version). Unfortunately for financial reasons I had to sell my car. But if god helps me, I will buy that specific car again and I will keep it as long as I shall live. Actually when I sold it, I did not recognize that I will feel so bad for this car. But when it was gone, I can easily cry almost all the day, feeling that a part of my body is missing. Anyway I am only a student now, and I had to buy a computer with that money. When I will be in a position within a few years, I will definitely buy it again. This is how I feel for my Corolla.
But unfortunately today's Corolla is not up to the standard, especially in Asia. They are made from recyclable materials. I can easily feel that no care has been taken to make these newer models. I used to think of Corolla as a living creature (just like us). But when I see the newer models (although they are safer and faster), it just seems to me as a tool for transportation, nothing more than that. I hope Toyota will be careful again to make Corolla alive. Because it is the only car that truly deserves to be called "The World Car". And from the very beginning to now it is really a mystery, why Corolla feels so different from any other car in the world. I think it is the most loved car in the Universe.
Is there anyone who can send me a picture of American version of 1986 Corolla Sedan model?
