1996 Toyota Corolla review from North America
"Reliable and "humble""
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have owned my Corolla for a little over 8 years (140000kms) and have never had any significant problems with it.
The paint peeled a bit at the back after 3 years of owning the vehicle.
General comments?
This is the most reliable vehicle I have owned.
I just followed regular maintenance and never had anything break on me.
Great gas mileage.
Vehicle doesn't feel safe... i.e. thin doors, small, sitting very low.
Great city car, but lacks power on highway (I am glad I have the standard version as automatic version must be sluggish on acceleration.)
