1984 Toyota Corolla DX review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The seats were ripped when I first got it. The windshield started leaking a few weeks ago and just abit of rust, no bigger than half a five cent piece near the petrol cap and a bit shocking on cold start ups (it has a manual choke) apart from that nothing else has gone wrong.
General comments?
It's a good little car picked it up for $1000 and it was in mint condition because an elderly lady owned it and looked after it. It's fairly cheap to run, only $40 to fill the tank from empty, and lasts around 400-500kms depends on how you drive it. It handles quite good, not much body roll through corners, its not the fastest car, but its not bad for a 1.3 carb.
