This was my first car, and it served its time as the college mobile. I wish to keep it for two more years because it's such a reliable car. I also love 35-46 mpg which is nice with today's crazy gas prices.
These cars rule. They just give you a wonderful car ownership experience.
Now up to 125,000 kms.
You're in Canada right? I am, and I get around 35 MPG out of my 1989 Corolla DX Wagon too, and I think I got 42 MPG on the highway & 80km of dirt roads stop & go.
BUT, in Canada, our Miles Per Gallon (MPG) uses U.S.A. Miles, but IMPERIAL Gallons, NOT U.S.A. Gallons? A US Gallon is I think 3.78 Liters, and an Imperial Gallon is 4.5 Liters. So, Canadian MPG's are always around 20% higher than U.S.A. MPG's.
(I don't know why they don't use kilometers per liter (km/L) as a fuel economy measurement. When I get gas at the pump, if I get 15 liters I know I can go at least 150km. But with Liters per 100 km's, it's not clear at all how far you'll drive when you fill up with 23 liters, L/100km just doesn't make things simple at all.)
