Faults:

Preventative maintenance timing belt and basic tune-up.

With only 77,000 miles on this car, it is practically new.

General Comments:

Whiteline struts, springs, and sway-bars are unreal.

Out-handles $100,000 dollar cars in curves and corners.

Slips through the tiniest spaces in traffic. Micro-Car.

Low power, 38 MPG reliability all day long.

Faults:

The heater core needed to be replaced (leaky).

The rear struts were replaced (one failed so I replaced both)

I am currently trying to solve an issue with the vacuum advance.

This is the best car I have ever owned. It has always gotten me were I needed to go. It has been driven as far south as Las Vegas (twice) and as far north as Dawson Creak, BC (I am from Vancouver, BC). It has great handling and a smooth ride. The gas mileage is very good.

It averages 32 mpg and gets about 38 mpg on the highway.

It cruises nicely at 100-120 km/h but can do 160 km/h (100 miles an hour) if you want it to. As long as the snow is not higher than the bumper, it will get you were your going. The car is light so it is easy on breaks and tires.

Faults:

The only thing that went wrong with the car was a hole in the radiator hose.

General Comments:

What the car the lacked in looks, handling and performance, it sure as hell made up in reliability. Corollas are by far the most reliable cars you can buy. It was a excellent car and was incredibly tough, as it had high tolerance for burnouts and driving it flat out. Not one thing went wrong with it at all.

Unfortunately my parents had to move and couldn't take the car with us. So the car ended up with my uncle who hardly drives it and won't give it back. At the time I had another a car, an XT Falcon ute, which I thought would be a good reliable daily driver; how wrong I was. Unfortunately that car was nothing but trouble, and cost me 2000 the first day I got it registered.

I definitely think the next car is going to be a Toyota Corolla. Fords and Holdens are by far the biggest pieces of rubbish.

Faults:

Nothing so far has gone wrong with the car. When I gat it, it was pretty beat up. Minor rust spots, body damage, busted dash, and an old interior. I had to replace the tires, power steering pump and some exterior light covers. Otherwise, the car is in great running condition. I bout the car for intentions of becoming a professional drifter, but money problems have stopped me... So far...

General Comments:

Hahaha! I can't find pictures of this car online ANYWHERE!!!

Faults:

Tires wore out at 220k.

I did have to replace the strut mount on the front passenger's side.

It got stolen and everything that wasn't bolted down was taken out of it.

Severe rust on the front fenders and along the back wheel wells (it came from Missouri)

I got in an accident with it and smashed up the front drivers' side fender over the hood, but it came out with a simple pry bar.

Engine threw a rod at 243080 (*NEVER* lend out your car to a teenager)

General Comments:

This car was ridiculously reliable. I don't take care to do routine maintenance very often, but that car was ridiculously maintenance-free.

It had reasonable get-up-and-go, especially compared to my previous 1984 Mazda GLC, and the 5-speed was super.

The seats were fairly comfortable, but they don't ventilate very well, and on hot days it gets a tad bit uncomfortable.

I'd buy another, but probably not a DX. I'd probably go for a GT-S or an SR5.

For a car that cost me $650 used, and lasted almost 2 years and only quit because someone didn't know how to drive a standard and told me he did, this thing was a fantastic buy.
