1977 Toyota Corona CS review from Australia and New Zealand
"If God could drive, he would be behind the wheel of a Corona"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not too much, except one of my mates accidently wrapped it around a tree. My love for the car was strong though, and it's body was built over again, with some mechanical repairs as well.
General comments?
The car handles exceptionally well on dirt.
It has no problem getting to 140 on a dirt road.
Like a rocket on wheels.
