1997 Toyota Corolla DX review from North America
"Japanese engineering at its finest"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rotors and calipers replaced at 250'000km.
Car requires new shocks front and rear. Driving on dirt roads take its toll I guess.
General comments?
Amazing vehicle.
It is not a race car, however if you are like me, and don't feel like laying underneath cars doing repairs on weekends, look no further. I will buy Toyota again and again.
