Used Toyota Corolla for Sale near Texas

It was not very powerful as a car, it had an 1.3 liter engine, but it had a 4 gear transmission with lots of response. The main advantage was that it was rear drive so as a teenager I used to drive sideways. My God it was good fun. I finally wrecked it a few years ago in a car accident that nearly cost me my legs.

Great little car. Peppy even with an automatic and the rear wheel drive is great fun! Kind of sucks to drive on the freeway as it'll do about 80 with your foot in the floor. However, if the speed limit is in the 65 or less range unlike here, this car is perfect. It rides smooth as glass clear up to 70, just a bit noisy.

This was a base model liftback. Had it for 15 years, and put 105,000 miles on it. Not a particularly memorable car. It was good enough at just about everything, really good at nothing. The handling was typical for a Japanese compact of the time, seat comfort was pretty lousy, storage space was very good. It was light in the back, which made going up a hill in wet weather a dicey proposition. One thing I liked, and missed, was the boxy shape of cars of that era: I knew exactly where the front and rear were, and could confidently parallel park it in very tight spaces. It was, overall, a reliable car. I compromised it late in its life by using aftermarket parts, but it still kept going. I finally got rid of it because I was in my forties and tired of driving an entry-level car.

best car i've ever had...good on gas and so far greatly reliable.. long as i keep up maintainence she runs great

This was my favorite car EVER!!! I would shove 10 of my closest friends in the back and drive for miles on $5 worth of gas! of course, gas was less than a buck ;-) I learned how to change oil, tune up the spark plugs and fix a flat. I also learned how to do burnouts and fishtails!
