1996 Toyota Corolla DX review from North America
"Best vehicle investment I've ever made!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not one thing has failed on this car. It is still in excellent condition.
General comments?
Has been one of the best cars I've ever owned, period.
Excellent gas mileage, 28-34 mpg.
Just changed the oil every 5000 miles, and put one set of new tires on it.
It still has original brake pads on it, at 94,000 miles.
Expect to get 250,000 miles before it dies, Toyota build quality cars!
