1985 Toyota Corolla GTS review from North America
"A drifty little unreliable thingy ;)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch died.
Ignitor died.
Heater died.
Rear springs/whatever stopped working right so the car would wheel-hop if you were to try and give it a little go.
General comments?
This car was pretty fun. It was light and would go around a curve sideways or straight glued to the ground.
It was darned expensive getting the ignitor fixed, since a similar part was not in the US or Canada, at all.
Pretty crazy.
It's a nice little car, not very practical, not the best fuel mileage either, and it definently wasn't worth the money for me.
I am going to go get something manly and V8ish now :)
