Nothing has gone wrong with it. That includes when my grand father had it from new.

General Comments:

I really thought I would be slating this thing as I do not like Japanese cars as a rule. I find they are very overrated and fall short of European cars in many ways.

This Corolla is in many ways just like the rest. For a start it is probably the ugliest car ever made. It is so ugly you need to crouch down when you pass people you know in the street! This one is particularly bad because it is purple.

However, I have now been driving it for two weeks and have found I quite like it. This is mostly down to it being an automatic, the first I have driven.

The car itself is pretty slow, however I can get 70-80 without too much difficulty. Unlike most slow cars I have driven it isn't frustrating. It is very relaxing and easy to drive. For such a simple car is really does offer an effortless driving experience. It would be an excellent commuting car if the fuel economy wasn't so bad (it is only a 3 speed).

My final view is that it is fine, but there are probably better cars of this type out there.

I just had to put this on the Internet!

I borrowed this of my grandfather last week and was in hysterics for all of the 5 miles I drove it. I cannot believe that a car this bad was made as recently as the 1990's!

It is completely incapable of exceeding 40mph on a normal road. Obviously on a motorway it would, but that's because there are hundreds of miles of motorway for it to build up speed.

It is also unforgivably ugly. I mean the Japanese make some awful cars, but this is something else.

The only redeeming features are that it is 100% reliable and it is good on fuel. The fact is though that a Honda Civic does those things too and at least has some character.

If you ever find yourself in a position where you are going to buy one of these things, take a step back and have a hard think about what you are doing.
