1978 Toyota Corona review from North America
"Good car for it's age"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes went out twice.
Oil pump went out.
Fuel pump went out.
General comments?
This was overall a great car, it was my first vehicle and for being a 1978 purchased in 1996, it had low mileage and was very reliable. The stuff that was a problem on it come to be expected for a car, that at the time was a year older than me. It generally started right up, even in the winter, had good pick up and traveled all over for long distances with no problem.
