1992 Toyota Corolla DX review from North America
"The corolla will not last"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've replaced 2 alternators.
Sometimes the car just wouldn't start.
Front struts were bad.
Front differentials frequently leaked.
Transmission began stalling at 145000.
Paint fell off on the bottom panels.
Power started fading very quickly after 100.000 miles.
General comments?
The corolla's pretty good economy car for the first 100.000. However, the car really falls apart after 100000 miles. The motor just burns out.
