1988 Toyota Corolla Levin GTV review from Australia and New Zealand
"A fun, quick and reliable coupe"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch needed replacing at about 75000.
Breaks replaced once in the time owned.
Hand-brake cable will need replacing soon as it has stretched.
General comments?
For the engine size, the car is a good performer.
The 4age is a strong engine and will rev freely all day.
I have had next to no problems with this car since I bought it.
I still enjoy driving it today and do not plan to sell it in the near future.
I have no complaints about the (Toyota) Levin at all.
