1986 Toyota Corolla hatch review from Australia and New Zealand
"The coolest car I will ever own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I needed a new alternator around 2 weeks after I got it for my 16th birthday.
General comments?
I love this car. It runs well, and despite its age, it still goes like a little rocket. I am learning to drive on it, and I couldn't have been given a better car. The handling is a little bit dodgy in the rain.
