1983 Toyota Corolla LX review from North America
"Awesome little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much wrong.
The body could use some work, but mostly because the car was neglected when I bought it.
Plastic dashboard is sort of easy to destroy if you're temper isn't in check.
Clutch handle falls off with relative easy; pretty easy to fix, though.
General comments?
Not a very fast car, but the handling is smooth and doesn't let you down on the road.
The cabin is actually pretty nice and roomier than you'd have expected.
