1988 Toyota Corolla SR5 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cheap 4wd power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing much has gone wrong with the car, just keep is serviced and it will live for ever!
General comments?
This car is pretty good for the price I paid which was $3300AUD with Road worthy condition and reg. The engine is also very strong and can keep up with most new cars in it class.
Has some room, but not as big as most wagons then again it is the same size as a corolla sedan or lancer sedan.
As a added bonus it is a 4wd which makes it a bit more safe. In addition the 4afe engine can be swapped over for a 4age 20v.
