1991 Toyota Corolla Sedan review from North America
"Great car, I would definitly own another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I received the car with:
Broken hood prop.
Worn front bearings.
Faulty brakes, one front caliper seized.
Front exhaust pipe leak.
Belts worn out.
It did have new tires, new turn up, new exhaust from cat. converter back.
Radio static really bad when the signal is not strong, speakers are partially blown.
LIGHTS - front signal side lights, heater console light, dome light, backup lights DO NOT WORK. I need to fix these!!!
Trunk leaks as noted by other owners... it appears to be a seam by the wheel well that can be fixed with sealant or bondo.
General comments?
Easy to work on.
Reliable, even with all the faults it had I put new front brakes on and drove it for 3k miles with no issues.
Parts are readily available, and not to expensive.
Struts work exceptional, tight steering, with 170k miles.
