1983 Toyota Corolla Preview summaryImage

The biggest change for the 1983 Toyota Corolla was a new engine. The 1.6 liter four cylinder was more powerful than its 1.8 liter predecessor. The Corolla was due for a redesign the following year, and therefore little else changed on the car.

The 1983 Toyota Corolla came in many body styles with several trim levels. The two- and four-door sedan came as a standard, DX or E5. The hardtop coupe came as a standard or SR5, and the sports coupe came as a SR5. The wagon came as a standard or DX. The liftback came as a standard and SR5. The 1983 Toyota Corolla had a 75-horsepower, 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine.

Some drivers complain that rust can be a problem and that the cars are very slow to accelerate, meaning that drivers should use extra caution when on a freeway entrance ramp.

Actually my second same kind of corolla over the times. Had one black as my first car (model year 1981) in 1993. Old spark hit again and I had to restore and enjoy another one. Bought this silver one and restoredto its old glory. Upgraded the engine from terrible 1.1L (not original) to 1.5L from Liteace van and accompanied it with 5-spd gearbox. Looks of the car made even american car enthusiasts raise their thumbs :) This car was sold early 2008 and is enjoyed in eastern Finland nowadays.Sep 04, 2008
