1973 Toyota Corolla KE-20 review from Malaysia
"Good for beginners and those who are interested in Japanese classics"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Common to all cars that has been driven over these years and beaten by the weather, it rusts even after paint-job.
Radiator needs to be filled once a fortnight for less than 250ml.
All 4 steel rims have been badly dented, but still runs straight.
General comments?
A damn bloody good car for anyone who needs a car to drive after receiving his/her license.
However, don't expect to get attention driving this car to college or University.
Full tank lasts about 2 weeks for city driving.
One helluva reliable car that will NEVER breakdown.
