1987 Toyota Corolla GTS review from North America
"This is the best little car I ever had"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the clutch at 30,000 miles - it had not been installed correctly according to the mechanic. No other major replacements until after 100,000 miles. Since then struts, air conditioning (all parts) alternator, brakes, distributor, fuel pump, drivers electric window controller have all been repaired or replaced as needed.
The material on the drivers seat is worn.
There are a few rust spots.
General comments?
This car has served me well.
It has been reliable and fuel effecient.
