General Comments:
This is 1,332cc car only, engine is 4E-FE 16V EFI DOHC (same with Starlet Turbo Engine)! Not for fast and speed, but for comfort and stable ride. High speed, the engine will rev 3K rpm when reach 100KM/H, a bit noisy. Cheap to maintain, parts are almost compatible with previous corolla. Excellent fuel economic and good power for such 1.3 to support heavy chassis. No regret!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I own a 96 Corolla and just replaced the motor at 264,000 miles. Other than that, only routine maintenance was needed to be done. If you find one of these, do not hesitate to buy it!
