1990 Toyota Corolla SR5 review from North America
"Sporty, reliable car, for a fraction of the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the axles, because they were old, or vibrated when driving.
Tire rods started making noise under the car, and I had to get those replaced.
My main oil seal valve had to be replaced last year, after it started leaking.
The terminal that connects to my battery had to be replaced.
General comments?
This car is great. The reason why the car was brought to the shop many times, is because I drive many miles. Driving this many miles eventually leads to wear and tear. My car is already 12 years old, but after all the repairs, it runs as if it was brand new. Not many cars on the road like it these days, so you'll definetly stand out amongst the crowd. Great car for your teenagers. Although there aren't many performance parts for this car, you can go to www.erubunicorp.com for performance upgrades. Although the exterior upgrades don't make that much difference.
