1987 Toyota Corolla GT Coupe (AE86) review from Belgium
"Extremely underrated sports machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much at all, normal things: exhaust, service, re-sprayed certain panels. The panels are thin for lightness so I had some rust problems also.
General comments?
This machine was excellent fun with its rear wheel drive and multivalve engine. Very fast and agile, can be addictive. It is possible to forgive it many things for the fun it returns!
