1988 Toyota Corolla GTS review from North America
"Reliability and performance at a reasonable price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake pad replacement at 239000.
Exhaust replacement at 239000.
General comments?
All around a fun and very reliable car. With over 240000 miles on it, I commute everyday to work (200 miles round trip) and the car has performed excellently.
General upkeep makes this one of the best value cars on the road today.
Looks good and handles great on the highway and corners.
