1987 Toyota Corolla review from North America
"Pretty much an OK car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car stutters and stalls. This usually only happens in the afternoons.
Luckily I have only had to stop on the side of the interstate once because the car was about to stall.
This is my first car to own (I am sixteen) and I am constantly wary on whether or not I will have trouble going home from school or church. I am afraid that it will shut off in the night when I'm out on the road and no one will know where I am.
General comments?
On the most part the car is very comfortable and safe. After owning my license only for about four months, I accidentally drove the car into a ditch (the stuttering and stalling and started to occur long before, even the first night of when I had my license). I only suffered a minor injury, a pulling of the muscles in my left wrist, which has yet to heal completely even a month later.
Even after the "crash" into the ditch all that was damaged was the front bumper and the engine (it got thrown onto it's side). It was safe to drive home as well.
All in all the Toyota Corolla is a good car. I just wish that I had gotten a newer version to learn how to drive on.
