1986 Toyota Corolla User Reviews

Toyota's Hot Hatch - Ahead Of Its Time. — Ever since being taken for a test drive in a Twin Cam AE82 Corolla when on work experience at a Toyota dealership, I have wanted to own one. A few years ago, prices for them had come down far enough for me to be able to buy it. Ok, the body is rusty, it feels a bit tinny and flimsy when closing the doors, and it's been in a couple of minor accidents (before I bought it, mind you), every time i drive it those issues seem like minor quirks. The performance, in its day, was class leading, and it was ahead of its time in having fuel injection and twin cam multi-valve technology, a fact proudly displayed rather garishly down each side. Even 20 years later, with tired suspension, substandard brake pads and over 250,000km on the chassis, its performance and handling is still enough to bring a smile to my face.

Love It ! — Obtained vehicle from ebay last June 2007. Odometer at beginning 108k. Have driven 20k; have only replaced tires and muffler. Looks good inside/out and runs great ! After 3k miles oil level remains 'full'.

Owner for 1 years, 0 months

Miles Driven per Year:20,000

Looks Bad Now But After Im Done Its Going To Be A Beauty — Damage only on one side but other then that its in really good condition, runs perfect, handles great

Fun Fun Fun — If you never owned a rear wheel drive car, you should buy one of these. It is as much fun as a Porsche, except for the power.
