Faults:

Clutch was replaced, but only because previous owner didn't use it well.

Muffler keeps rusting, causing holes that needs to be patched up, considering replacing the whole thing.

Carburetor spring broke, but only because my brother try-ed to fix it, not his fault, replaced it by a vice grip spring (do not try this at home, too tight, the choke didn't come on at all) causing it to never start in the winter without a little fuel in the carburetor. Was just changed today, we will know how it works.

Rear right suspension broken, not sure what's wrong with it, will find out later, still runs well enough for now.

Oil sensor finished, will be replacing it next Tuesday.

General Comments:

I really love this car, the problems listed happened in a 14 year span, so it's very good, considering the age. this is a very reliable car. I wouldn't sell it to anyone. This is my 1st car, and I plan on keeping it for a long time.

Faults:

When I bought the car, it didn't work. I replaced the battery and cleaned the fuel system to get it starting again.

The only real problem that I have had with the car is that now that it is almost 13 years old, the plastic pieces are starting to snap. I have replaced each interior door handle at least once, and most window cranks. I have invested about $20 in junk yard pieces.

The ignition wiring went at 108500 it cost me $2 o fix it.

I have had a couple of minor problems with the car though. The speakers were cheap and could not handle the power of my CD player, and the exhaust system has rotted away... twice.

The car is starting to rust and needs a paint job badly.

General Comments:

The Corolla is a little bit small and very ugly, but it is great with gas and speed. The speedometer only goes to 110 but mine has gone at least 120. The car needs very little maintenance, just change the oil and the filters and it should be all set.

Faults:

The seats have worn down badly.

Had to replace the O-ring underneath the distributer.

Cannot find any after-market performance parts anywhere, or any body-kits for that matter.

General Comments:

I fell in love with it the first time I had the chance to drive it.

This car is really fast for a little four banger, and handles like a dream.

I will never get rid of this car even after the engine blows. When this happens I plan to do an engine swap, perhaps even a MR2 Spider engine upgrade.
