1998 Toyota Corolla LE review from North America
"Fast, Reliable, Cheap, economy car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just the common wear and tear.
Clutch going soon, getting new one soon. Little pricey 631$ for a Stage 1 performance clutch.
General comments?
This car is a very good car. I have raced many car's and very few beat me. My greatest wins are a 350 97 Cammaro, and 2005 v6 Mustang.
The handling is OK for your common driver, I drive on the wild side and it keeps up with me for the most part.
The front seats are very comfortable, and you can fit five people in the car with out squishing them. I have had seven people in my car the only problem was it was a little low to the ground.
I have Intake, exhaust on the car, it sounds beastly sounds almost like putting a Flow Master on a truck. It dosnt sound riced and crackle at high RPMs.
This is a very good economy car. I highly recommend this car.
