"The best lightweight car ever made"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Muffler hangers broke.

Needs a new clutch.

General comments?

The GT-S Corolla is surely the most fun lightweight import ever made. It's RWD for those who didn't know, which makes the handling very neutral - turn-in response is very good and speed out of the corners is excellent.

The engine lacks torque but is a blast to wring out. Above 4500 the car is very quick.

These cars are tough as nails and parts are abundant - get one for those rainy days and enjoy!

Toyota Corolla GTS's are great cars. Very fun to drive in snowy/rainy weather. Very fast stock. Only problem is finding parts.

My wife and I still have the one she bought brand new with 400k plus miles on the body I still have the original moter in it and it is still a blast like you said... rainy days!!! woo hoo little stab of the throttle and drop a gear around a corner and we are having fun!!!

Who says the sport of drifting is new??? we been doing it for years lol

I recently purchased another another body from the local salvage yard, but it is a hatchback where as my wife's has a trunk, it is a turbo car(japan release only) that was brought over here by the last owner when they were in the service!!!

I can't wait to get this baby going!!!
