1985 Toyota Corolla User Reviews

Ae86 — this is my new AE86, this one is a GTS version, my last one was a SR5, what makes it a GTS is that it has the fuel injected DOHC engine, LSD, and rear disc brakes. I plan on turning this into a track car. I havn't decided what to do with the engine yet, either pull it out, and put a 20v engine in it, or maybe build a 1jz for it, or I could just rebuild that 4AGE with high compression pistons, and individual throttle bodies, I havn't decided.

I Love My Car — it aint one of the pritties cars,its acceleration is very good,handling wise,not to bad it has its bad now and then,the car is fun to drive because people don't really thing that you would whip a ford Fiesta's ass with it!!!!

Primary Use: Commuting to work

If You Love Cars You Dont See Everyday Totaly For You — Small fun to drive car with a cult following and rear wheel drive, Low on power but easy to swap in a better 4ag platform. compfy interior with tons of aftermarket upgrades and amazing 1980's styling and two differant trims for the car (levin and trueno)

Had The Damn Thing For Over 6-7 Years And It's Gonna Be A Keeper For Me, Ha!~~~~ — It's an old car, lots of miles on it--but it's fun to drive since it's got the LSD, 4ag twin cam motor thingy in there, plus it's rear wheel drive, as opposed to my 88 gts. Back then Toyota found the right formula to have a fun, sporty rear wheel drive car without breaking the piggy bank- that was the 1985/87 Corolla GTS. With it's not so pretty looking styles and lines, one can grow onto it. Then these Initial D/ touge kids with their wannabe drifting on the mountain deals are destroying these cars and think they can find another one on the recylcer or something. It's sad to say that this car is a dying breed only because of the owners' own neglegiance. If you do it, do it on the TRACK!!! Hahaha I'm gonna get flamed for this!!! ^_~;

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Enjoyable Reliable Junker — Its sloooow but I still enjoy it. I bought it cause it was cheap and convenient. It was probably bound for the wreckers and justly so, but I've kept it alive and keep making it better all the time. Its light and fun to throw around the twisties, though you do sit with your foot down waiting for it to go faster. Its problematic at times because its getting older now at almost 330,000kms. But its never left me stranded by the curb unless I drove up it ;)
