Rust on the body panels, exhaust, and oil pan. Frame has held up well with some kind of rustproofing.
Clutch has needed replacement since ~160,000.
Rear struts at 150,000.
Lower passenger side ball joint at ~175,000.
Consumes ~1-2 quarts of oil every 5000 miles.
Radiator replaced at 200,000.
This car has been an excellent daily driver. Considering the miles that it has traveled, it has been very reliable.
Handling of this Toyota is not as tight as Hondas that I have had in the past, but the ride is smoother.
The 1.6L has adequate power for a small car.
I tend to get 30-37 miles per gallon fuel efficiency.
Addendum to my original post:
Additional repairs:
Distributor cap failed at ~185,000, replaced along with wires and plugs.
Brake rotors replaced at 217,000.
Thermostat replaced at same time as radiator, ~200,000 miles.
Great car!
