Competitively priced with a configuration for almost any buyer, the 1987 Toyota Corolla leads the compact class by example.
Though more than a decade has passed since the gasoline crisis, our desire for fuel-efficient compact cars is as strong as ever. Once viewed as necessary alternatives to the V8-powered behemoths Americans flocked to, models such as the Toyota Corolla now sit atop a growing number of buyers’ shopping lists. Interestingly, the Corolla had been sourced exclusively from Japan but is now built alongside the Chevrolet Nova at the New United Motor Manufacturing Incorporated (NUMMI) plant in California as part of a collaboration with General Motors.
For 1987, the Corolla is available as a boxy, front-wheel-drive (FWD) four-door sedan, a versatile five-door liftback (hatchback), a funky two-door labeled the Corolla FX16, or a decidedly stylish rear-wheel-drive (RWD) Corolla Sport Coupe model featuring pop-up halogen headlights and 14-inch alloy wheels. Trim levels vary by body style and include the Deluxe (DX), LE, SR5, and GT-S.
That Sport Coupe, also known as the AE86 Corolla by enthusiasts, marks the end of the road for the RWD Corolla, as Toyota has announced an all-new, FWD-only Corolla for 1988.

(49 reviews)I am still driving my FX16, awesome car. I bought it for $500 2nd owner of it, the lady i bought it off of used it through college, and then let it sit after she got a new car. The engine was locked up, got new new engine with 55k miles on it and dropped it in, had some problems with the fuel injection system but that was from sitting. The first couple months were rough though, had to carry tools and a case of ether around with me. LOL would be sitting on the side of the interstate cleaning out the fuel rail. But finally got all the junk run out of the gas tank and the engine, and it has run great. Had to replace shocks, radiator, a couple hoses, and a distributor. So it is def a win to me, awesome gas mileage, and cheap as heck to fill up even at 2.50 a gallon. I make other people cry. My AC even works still, and is colder than my wifes 2007 ford focus lol. Toyota makes the best cars.
reliable spare parts are not expensive and they are available you don't need to visit the mechanic only for normal stuff like brakes spark plugs maintenance , toyota engines are powerful even if they are not monster machines you can find them in law volume but high power mine is 1.6 cc with 165 HP they are fast and economical
I bought my FX-16 pre-rusted from the original owner in 1996 at 126500 miles, and it was a wonderfully powerful highway car and zippy rolling country road car. It has driven far longer than I imagined it would. Now (2010) at 194000 it's starting to get a little weak, but still zips along at higher RPMs. The car has been extremely reliable and drives wonderfully. I would like to invest more money in prolonging its life, but the body rust started in New England by the original owner is now quite bad in spots. It will be a very sad day when I have to retire the FX-16. The hatchback is very wide and useful, and can haul a lot. If they still made this exact car I would gladly buy 2 new ones tomorrow and never need to buy another car for the rest of my life.
Very good engine and gear box but spaer parts are very expensive.Easy for handling, brakes very good but under full loads and often use lose power.Engine don't like sports driving and temperature goes very high so I must slow down. My engine type 2E 1.3ccm iz very good after 212,000km but carburator iz in very bad condition and I cann't find new for normal price in my country
I have had the access to this vechile over five months now and am satisfied with its performance. My only concern from where am living is accessability to parts. They are not alot in my country and therefore their parts are scarce. But I certainly enjoy driving it.
