Faults:

The coil failed when I first bought it.

Recent thermostat problems have caused overheating.

General Comments:

This is without a doubt the worst car I've owned. That's why it's so much, as I don't care about hurting it.

It has not had any major problems since I got it. And uses hardly a drop of fuel.

I love drifting around corners and rear wheel drive corollas seem to be made for that.

The car's had three accidents without requiring repair, every panel is bent and it looks kinda cool.

Faults:

Absolutley nothing has ever gone wrong during the time I've had it.

General Comments:

This car is awesome. It is my daily driver as I have a Skyline as my weekend weapon.

OK I'll be honest, I thrash this car.

I've never known a 1.3 litre car to do 120km/h in second gear.. with 3 gears to go!!! I've owned 1 litre cars to 2litre cars, but honestly... I don't know how Toyota did it, it just rev's out!

Most cars if you drive them hard will use gas like there's no tomorrow, but this one doesn't, I once put 10 litres in it and drove it hard.. very hard, but still managed 90 k's before the needle reached the same position!!!

I paid $500 for it - and its been the best $500 I've ever spent!

Faults:

Cooked a clutch (I deserved it).

Faulty interior fabric leading to holes in the seats.

First signs of rust.

General Comments:

The car has been in my family since new and had years of trouble free motoring.

Although undeniably slow, with enough enthusiasm from the right foot at the right times it can still be entertaining.

Having an increasingly hard life, but the 4k is literally indestructible and I have no doubt it will take me past the 200000km mark.

Still on original shocks which are starting to struggle, but still wallows round in a predictable and safe manor.

Faults:

The motor seized at 196,000 kilometers.

The gear box also went at 196,000 kilometers.

Driver's seat broke at 160,000 kilometers.

General Comments:

My Corolla had a 1.3 litre 4KC motor, I had very little trouble with my car until the motor and gear box went.

I did find that my Corolla was sluggish on hills, and had very litte room in the back.

I have now put in a 1.5 litre 5KC motor, which has improved the performance of the car.
