1988 Toyota Corolla Station Wagon - FWD review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Normal wear and tear.
Over 11 years/250000 km:
I have put a number of exhaust systems in. That is biggest fault with the Corolla.
Over the past 2 years:
I have put in a new alternator.
I have put in a new clutch.
I have put in a new radiator.
I have put in a new gas tank.
I have put in a new timing belt.
I have put in a new water pump.
General comments?
I can't believe that I have only had to put in one clutch in over 250,000 km.
Now that I have put in some serious bucks in the last year or so, I expect to at least another couple of years out of the vehicle.
This is one car that will go forever!
