1984 Toyota Corolla CS review from Australia and New Zealand
"The most reliable car you could buy for under $10 000"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew at 260 000km. So whilst repairing this I also replaced the rings.
General comments?
I bought this car for $500 two and half years ago in that time I have traveled over 60 000 km in my little old corolla. It may not be the prettiest car on the road, but in my opinion it is the finest, as when I have needed the corolla it has never let me down.
