1985 Toyota Corolla CS review from Australia and New Zealand
"A very reliable small car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed a new clutch at about 300,000km's.
Front drive shaft boots need replacing every now and then.
The boot springs died.
General comments?
Easy to drive and maintain.
The car handles beautifully with 14in Alloy wheels (comes standard with 13in).
Parts are cheap and easy to come by.
A very reliable small car with low running costs.
