1978 Toyota Corolla DX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust.
Clutch @150K miles.
Alternator @200K miles.
Seat belts are wearing out.
Replaced radiator every 10 years.
General comments?
4 speed geared too low for modern 85mph driving. A/C still works great. Paint was all used up years ago, so I just repainted it. Has never failed to run.
