1994 Toyota Corolla GL review from South Africa
"Reliable, responding when needed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The handbrake gave me a few problems on some occasions, but not something I couldn't fix.
General comments?
If you give the car the proper service at the right time than I can honestly say nothing will go wrong. I have this car for a number of years now and will never let it go. I'm at a time where I'm looking for a new car. but I'll hold on to this Corolla because it has given me such great service. It really never lets me down.
My seats needed some upholstery, but that came with the time. We use this car everyday and it works like a charm.
My wife said we'll teach our kids how to drive using this car. It handles well and the gears change over very easily. I'm very impress with this car.
It must be in the all time list of cars being build over the last hundred years.
