1985 Toyota Corolla GT-S review from North America
"Dependable, fast, cheap on gas"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Muffler fell off, replaced now.
Carburetor is now going out.
Needs a paint job.
Door windows are messed up.
Heater hasn't worked since I got it.
Interior could use some work.
Wouldn't pass emissions because of Carburetor needing to be replaced.
General comments?
Very fast little car.
Gets great gas mileage.
I put a stereo system in the car and it still will take off fast.
Other than the above problems the car has been great to me. She's started every morning and handles the icy and/or wet pavement like nothing else I've ever driven.
I'm thinking of selling her because of the cost to fix her. My girlfriend and I are expecting another child and I need the money to pay for doctor bills, not to fix the car. If anyone would like to look at her e-mail me at my girlfriend's e-mail at MomTo2Babies@hotmail.com
