1985 Toyota Corolla DX 5-door Don't remember from North America
Summary:
BEST car I have ever owned
Faults:
I put front brakes and rotors on it, front struts, ignition module, 4 tires, slave cylinder, plugs and wires, and all new filters. Extremely reliable car.
General Comments:
I LOVED this car, have kicked myself in the rear since getting rid of it. I paid $400.00 for it when I bought it, drove it back and forth to work for several years and replaced only the listed items, then sold it for $400.00 because I no longer needed a third car. For the $400.00 I got out of it, I should have kept it. At one time I even had it completely loaded up with fire wood from front to back. Mile for mile, this was the best car I have ever owned, started right up on the coldest of mornings or hottest of afternoons. I would pay twice what I paid for mine for another one in a heartbeat.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Original reviewer here, I still regret seling that wagon. It is a testimony to th equality that Toyota produces. The Corolla was cheap and cheap to maintain. Presently, the current Corolla has grown to another class. The replacement to the compact class is the Yaris or Echo depend where in the world you live. This Yaris can never in my view recapture the quality and durability (and magic) that was evident in the rear drive Corollas of the 1980's.
