I read that in Pakistan and Afghanistan the Japanese imported Corollas (whihc are a large percentage of the car market) were prized over the ones imported from the USA and Europe. Are they regarded as better built? Did the Corolla 4wd wagon ever make it over there?

What is interesting though that here in Australia the prices of the 200 series have gone up higher than the 300 in some cases because last of the V8s!

Yes, includes tax.

Yes.

Someone got ripped off buying the Tercel for $7250 Could have had Paul Rudd sell you one for $7198

I want to post the original clip of this sketch for those amongst us that have never enjoyed it.

I’m not crying it’s just rust flakes in my eyes.

Why are there no boxy 4wd Hi boi wagons anymore?

Toyota - I challange you to give the TJ Cruiser concept some extra Tercelness.

Neither are Toyota robust though. Got a 4afe…

Also the Diesel

Still they are rock solid when maintained comparted ot out of warranty German mechanicals

Wait till they review VW TSI engines... Makes Subaru look like a Toyota 22r

You think Subarus are bad. Try a TSi VW engine out of warranty.

So after 10 years of slowly teased and increasingly more average concept images from VW we get a small wheelbase VW Transporter in retro Cosplay...

But don’t car enthusiasts do that anyway?
2010 I went back to grad school and needed a reliable runabout. Bought a Corolla All-trac 500miles away because of its exact spec and price (SR5, Red, AC, Electric windows/ mirrors/sunroof. Manual with Difflock. Got it checked by a local garage. Bought it on the spot. Got the…
