1988 Toyota Corolla Twin Cam 16 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Little beast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much really, the starter motor has played up a few times. There are a couple of spots of rust, in the door sills and rear quarter (above rear wheel). Apart from that nothing major.
General comments?
This is one of the better handling cars I've ever driven, feels as though its glued to the road in comparison to some other cars I have driven. Goes extremely well for a 1.6L, has beater the likes of AU Falcon's, Mirage's, Celica's and V6 Camry's.
