1988 Toyota Corolla hatch review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the old fuel pump. Put on new tyres, minor work.
General comments?
The car is better then I expected. I wasn't very happy when my parents got it for me as I was only 18. Won a few races against other cars. Raced a friends Ford XD 81, left him behind by a car length. First car I smoked up using the park brake, very happy. Kept up with a newer corolla that had less kilometers then mine, runs beautifully. 2nd fastest car at my school, out of th eold and small cars.
