I being a new driver didn't look after it properly at first. I had had it 6 months and it finally ran out of water and oil and it blew up. Due to my own fault. It cost me a bit to repair, but that was the only thing ever to go wrong with it.
No other brake downs although it did overheat quite badly. From the day I bought it, to the day I sold it. It would reach the orange section.
Other than having an over heating problem and the one blow up I used to drive 8 to 10 hours a day 7 days a week. Fuel consumption is extremely good I could get 400, 450 km's to a tank. Air conditioning worked fine as long as the car was not over heating and although it had sluggish days it generally was very good to drive.
The interior was comfortable and you could comfortably fit 4 large adults or 2 adults and three children in the car.
I purchased a '87 Toyota Corolla 3 weeks ago for just $300.
I really am pleased with it. It has a great body and interior. I had a few problems at first.
The alternator went out. Then it seemed to have trouble "flooding out."I put a bottle of carburetor cleaner in with a full tank of gas, drove it 80 miles and it is doing much better.
It does not to seem to be overheating. I keep a close eye on the coolant level. The temp gauge is half between c and h.
This is my first Toyota. I have always had GM products.
