1988 Toyota Corolla LX review from North America
"The world's greatest economy car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the clutch at 100K miles.
Replaced the radiator at 130K miles.
Otherwise, just regular wear and tear.
General comments?
This is the ultimate grad-student-mobile. Cheap, reliable, efficient. You can park it anywhere, and it takes lots of abuse without complaint.
I'm at 150K and still love this car.
