1982 Toyota Corolla CS KE70 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good, Reliable First Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only minor problems like fuel pump needing to be replaced and ballast resistor but no other real problems.
General comments?
Very reliable car.
Not too much in way of features with only a AM/FM radio and no air conditioning, but gets the job done.
Performance is not too bad considering the 1.3l engine, but don't expect to get up to 100km/h (60mph) too quickly.
Quite fun to drive especially as it is quite light.
