1993 Toyota Corolla LX review from North America
"This car is awesome and if you have the chance to buy one that has been taken care of, do it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace rear strut mounts.
Exhaust manifold cracked at 175,000 miles.
Dash lights are very touchy.
Had to put new power steering belt on at an unbelievable 200,500 miles.
General comments?
This car has not had any major problems since it was made.
I have been very mean and hard on this vehicle and with 222,000 miles it still gets up and goes.
It starts every morning and averages about twenty five to thirty miles to the gallon.
The interior has held together very well.
With scheduled maintenance these cars will run forever.
Great beginner car.
Has survived three years of high school and one semester of college, so far.
Paint has slightly faded, but still looks decent.
