1990 Toyota Corolla GTi-16 review from UK and Ireland
"Underrated hot hatch with lots of electrics, comfort and speed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust is the worst thing, the arches and sunroof get corroded badly.
Electric sunroof only pulls open on one side.
Otherwise very reliable.
General comments?
Parts are extremely expensive which would put me off buying another Toyota.
Goes very nicely, keep it over 4krpm and it flies. Rev counter goes to 9krpm!
Easily gets 45 to 50mpg motorway driving. Floor it too much and the fuel just disappears.
