1990 Toyota Corolla DX review from North America
"It just keeps on going and going"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I replaced the clutch at 190,000 miles.
The alternator went out at 239,000 miles.
General comments?
The car at 252,000 still runs great. I do all the maintenance on it with no problems.
I run the A/C with 105 degree outside driving 75 MPH and I am cold!!
This car has been just incredible. I plan to drive it to 500,000 Miles!!!
The only part that will need work soon is the radiator.
It's a great piece of engineering. I call it the Admiral, and it earned its name on the field many many times.
