1994 Toyota Corolla Standard review from North America
"Money saver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car had a leak in the CV boot at 87000 miles.
General comments?
The car has great milage. The EPA estimates 32 mpg on the highway, and I average 29 to 30 mpg.
The car is extremely reliable. For the 6 years I've had it, there were no mechanical or electrical problems beyond a blown fuse.
The styling is bland, but it's only an economy car.
The ride is a bit stiff, but it is compensated by the sharp handling.
The stock tires do not perform well in the rain. The car has slipped more than once at low speeds.
The braking is a bit slow.
The standard transmission cars need tachometers.
Though the car is small, it can fit 5 people comfortably.
