1987 Toyota Corolla FX16 review from North America
"This is a great little zippy car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The shocks are gone.
Had to replace the timing belt and cam after 215,000 miles.
The screws have come loose on the ashtray and glove box.
But what can you expect for a car that is 17 years old and has 245,000 miles on it.
This car is still running strong.
General comments?
I love my little Corolla.
You can't beat this car for reliability and cost effectiveness.
