"Reliable as a HAMMER.. if you can forgive the small things"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Let's see, burned out instrument panel light.

AC condensor developed a hole.

Gas tank lid lost its spring thing that pops it open.

General comments?

I got a great deal on this CE model. It has a 3 speed automatic, which was just OK, but really cried for a larger engine.

The 1.6L just doesn't cut it in USA, especially with an automatic trans & 4 doors! That is the only reason I sold the car..

This car is a reliable as a HAMMER! Always started, never died out. Change oil & fluids and filters and these cars will go 200K miles easily. I upgraded to a 1998 1.8L Corolla because it has more power and actually gets BETTER MPG than the 1997! Even with the bigger engine!

Hammers have no moving parts.

To the person who added "hammers have no moving parts":

Hence the reference, reliable as a HAMMER. *ROLLS EYES*
