REALLY WELL BUILT.... I mean it lasted that long with just some clutches, tires, oil, brakes, and of course gasoline. It did get dismal fuel economy in its old age, like 16-17 city. This is bad considering its size and engine displacement, but hey it was old. It was really fun to ride around in as a kid: loud, unique, my dad let us move the shifter for him, etc.

The Toyota Corolla has the highest reliability of any car i've ever driven. This model in particular has run for 30 Years and is still going!!! For a young driver it is safe and shall get you from A to B without a hassle but, it wont get you there and 100mph. However the Fuel Economy, Maintenance, Registration and Insurance costs are very good for a first car buyer and i strongly recommend this carr for first time drivers and/or young drivers

Originally came with a 1.3 litre engine, 4 speed manual 165/80/13 tyres. After all was said I done, I modified it with a DOHC 1.6 L Engine 5 speed manual with Modified Camshafts, Mikuni 40s Side Draft Carburetors, Hi-Flow Headers and Exhaust System, Suspension Modifications and 215/50/13 tyres. Very cool performance for its time. My first "sleeper". :)

I LOVED THIS CAR!!! it was the first car I ever owned and it was awesome, the best car you could have. However, I was involved in a car accident and lost my little love car. I miss it so much, but I guess everyone misses there first car. Nothing will ever replace that car, it was the greatest. Toyotas are good cars!

performance = must change to 4AGE , than got nice acceleration , use AE86 front nunckle with disc brake , nice brake , suspension gonna change new one , maybe tein is a good choose .. build quality = good apperance = all hav to DIY FR = nice driving machine
