1988 Toyota Corolla CS review from Australia and New Zealand
"I treat it like family, it is well looked after."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blew the motor up racing another corolla, needed a new clutch at 315,600km, and the radiator just went so its being fixed. other than that nothing has gone wrong with the car.
General comments?
Excellent on fuel a tank will last me 3 weeks and that's driving every day. It has got the power behind it, I noticed this when I had the sports exhaust put on it. It sounds great, and with this amount of kilometres on the clock the air conditioner really works brilliantly. This car really blew my mind when I took ownership of it. It's my baby.
