AE86 Corolla GTS, it was my all time favorite car when i was teenager, in fact i still love this car!!! It equipped with a 4AGE 1.6L engine, rear wheel drive, with the TVIS Toyota variable intake system, the air intake will increase at 4350rpm, engine sound will be more fierce after the 4350rpm mark. Acceleration is kind of slow, brake is ok, and handling was outstanding due to good balance of the car, i love to keep full throttle entering the corner (due to it is underpower), and the car can drift a little bit out of the corner which you will never got this experience from a FWD Civic. The build quality is good, i used my AE86 as a part time courier car, it had done over 180000miles on it without any major problem. The styling is good, it looks like it never got old. Gas mileage is great. Its just so fun to drive this little car! I owned three AE86 during my teenager period, I really missed it!!!!

Great learner car for the great art of Drifting. Suspension is the only true weakness but that can be upgraded. The 4age engine is invincible and with disk brakes on front and rear it has excellent braking. All in all, a very fun little RWD car

I just love everything about it 200,000 miles and still going. Paint still looks good and everything works sunroof, pop up lights. Great performance. Have put about 1000.00 into it. Gas mileage couldn't be better. Interior seats didn't hold up as good as I would have liked.
