The 1991 Toyota Corolla was virtually identical to the 1990 Corolla, when the model got a more powerful engine and a new entry-level version of the sedan.
The 1991 Toyota Corolla came in many body styles with several trim levels. The sedan came as a base, DX or LE. The wagon was available as a DX or SR5. The coupe came as a SR5 or GT-S. All Corollas came equipped with a DOHC, 16-valve inline four-cylinder engine. The sedans, wagons, and SR5 coupe had a 102-horsepower engine and the GT-S had a 130 horsepower. Fuel economy is about 22 to 33 mpg, depending on the engine.
Owners of the 1991 Corolla complain that the car is underpowered and performs even worse when the air conditioning is running. Still, they tend to praise the car for being reliable and long-lasting, and many have been driving them trouble-free since the car was new.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1991 Toyota Corolla find it to be an incredibly reliable and economical choice. Many drivers appreciate its low maintenance costs and decent fuel economy, with some reporting impressive mileage figures. However, some find its power and performance to be lacking, particularly when driving at higher speeds or up hills. Aesthetically, opinions are mixed, with some describing it as unattractive, while others still find it appealing. Despite its age, the Corolla is favored for its resilience and ability to be a dependable workhorse."
As a manual transmission, I get better accrleration. Braking & handling are ok, but the appearance seems to be back dated. Still I get better milage, low maintenance cost & lots of fun driving this car. So, I drive it very often.
December 8, 2010No major problems. Just regular maintenance. The upholstery is still perfect. The paint is still good. I noticed a hole forming in the rug under the gas pedal. Great little car and still running strong with 189,000 miles. Oh, and it gets 30 MPG! and is a very comfortable car to drive.
October 8, 2008Performance is decent, it goes 0-60 in probably 6 seconds. The Corolla's appearance is nothing special which I like. The build quality is also decent it only needed repairs on the exhaust. Its a fun car to drive since it can out run a Kia.

May 15, 2010The best car I've ever had. When we sold it at 228,000 miles, it still ran as if it were brand new. As long as you do normal maintainance, it ran great! I even drove it through a blizzard and it did great. As far as I know, it's still running.
September 9, 2009Performance, though not great it is decent and easily keeps up with highway traffic. With the addition of a K+N air filter, synthetic oil and good spark plugs I upped the gas milage by 5 MPG to 48 HWY. 1.6 liter engine and 5 speed. If I kept my speed down I am sure I could hit 50. Handling is great as this was an upgrade from an old Tercel. Build quality is excellent and parts are easy to locate used and new. Appearance its a nice little wagon nothing spectacular that stands out, its an average looking car that nobody take much notice of. Cost of ownership has been low I did the usual things maintenance wise and it has not let me down. Most of my expense has gone into Oil changes and gas. Fun Factor, as a wagon its been very versatile. I've managed to sleep in it when I went camping and the rain was too much.
June 30, 2009Looks and runs amazing, even by todays standards.
January 2, 2008Amazing sexiness!!! It may only be a 1.6L 4A-FE but damn this thing pulls at 3,000RPM! I used to be a true blue Mazda enthusiast but this car has made me question my loyalty o_O! I suppose you could say I have ventured to Toyota now. I never thought I would say this but I love my Toyota Wagon, its a beast!
June 3, 2010Nice car overall, but as it was old it had it's share of body issues. Engine wouldn't quit. Started instantly, even in -20°F weather. I was a little under powered so it wasn't the funnest thing to drive, but Corollas aren't supposed to be performance cars.
April 14, 2009Very reliable, not too uncomfortable to drive. Always starts and things did not break easily, except the rear axel when it hit a curb during a drift-session which went over the limits ;) Very economic, could run 20km/l or 5 liter pr. 100 km.
March 3, 2008An honest, everyday, family car that never "argued" under pressure and of course hasn't presented any problems
