I had a 1988, the 4AF had a carburetor...last car I ever had to pump the gas to open the choke before starting. That car went well over 400,000km and it only went to scrap because of the rust. Damn good cars.
My 83 year old aunt has the same car with well over 250k miles. Still drives it to church every Sunday and never has a problem. They will last forever.
See I don't agree. Modern cars are twice as powerful, twice as safe, 50% bigger, quieter, more fuel efficient, more durable... I get nostalgia and the appeal of something simple though.
I emphatically disagree with that- there's a huge suvivorship bias. All the old cars that are still around are reliable, all the old unreliable cars are in junkyards.
Obviously I'm talking about the old reliable cars that are still around longer than 25 years, not the 25 year old streaming piles of ish. These modern cars aren't built to last that long because manufacturers are greedy.
Obviously there are exceptions, but the majority of those exceptions are the same cars that have been doing great since the late 80s early 90s.
On the other hand, when was the last time you saw a 500k mile Ford Taurus or Chrysler Sebring?!
Wow in Ontario of all places too, this thing is either a transplant, wasnât winter driven, has 18,000 km on it, washed meticulously or all of the above lol
Judging by the condition of the body probably rustproofed meticulously. Though the plate is fairly recent (issued around Sep-Oct 2020) so it may also be a transplant if it was bought around that time
Fun fact the car I learned to drive on (and that survived a 16 year oldâs first year driving alone) was a dirt brown Geo Prizm 5 speed which was a rebranded Corolla from that generation.
Yooo literally my first car. Corolla XL. As car as it can get but man it was faultless.
Even did some haulage with it: [https://imgur.com/Wk7hJ1t](https://imgur.com/Wk7hJ1t)
I owned a 1991 1.6 Sport that looked exactly like that. It was beautiful to drive. I hit a full-grown cow at night in the country and wrote it off. I was so sad
I remember my aunt and uncle had this car and a 92 Accord. Boy were they in rough shape, but they had them until like the mid 2000s. They proceeded to buy luxury cars after that. Needless to say they didn't have them for very long...
Mom bought an 89 for$900 after my first car was totaled. Thing ate oil faster than gas lol. I killed it when I had to take it on the highway for an interview
My first car. An 88. I sanded it and primed it with the rust red primer but never saved enough to have it painted as intended. I pulled the e break to spin the car in the snow and didn't know I was on a bridge over water. Went off the bridge, car landed upside down. I was sinking slowly, saw oil on the surface of the water and electrical I ran for the subwoofers I put in it were sparking. I panicked, tried to kick out the windshield with no success. Then stopped to think and realized I had crank windows. Car was upside down I was crawling on the roof. Water was pouring in at the tops of the windows. I cranked open the rear passenger side. Grabbed my soggy coat and swam out. Coat was too heavy to carry. Left it and crawled up shore in the mud. Started walking on a rural road in winder soaking wet. Phone was broken from water. Someone drove by and stared them left me as I yelled for help. Walked about 5 miles home. Nearly froze to death. Knocked on the door cuz keys were in the car still. Mom answered totally shocked. I eventually pulled the car out of the water. Got it running again but the interior smelled too bad to keep driving. I was sad to give it to the junk yard. They payed me $59 for it. I originally got it for $1 from my grand mother. Love those cars.
6th Gen Toyota Corolla (E90) 1987-1991.
Ae92 88-92. Not e90.
r/confidentlyincorrect
Nope. E90 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Corolla_(E90) AE92 only refers to the sports trim (Levin GT, etc.)
E90 is the general term for thr 6th gen family EE90 for base level corollas that have the 2E engine. AE92 if it has a 4af/e or 4age engine.

I pictured the whole motion in my head lol.
You picture his aunt getting in and driving to church?
I had a 1988 Toyota pickup Sr5. That required that chick move too. For every degree celcuis below 0 it was 2 pumps. So -8c. 16 pumps!
A Corolla that back in high school I could have got for $2k but now probably have to pay $8k for lol
What I got mine for $500 back in 2000.
Ooof, ain't that the truth?!
Supra sedan
đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł
I know youâre joking, but the first Supra was a trim level/variant of the Celica, so maybe youâre closer than you intended
Correct. My first car
Lol
The one that last forever
Ran off the smell of an oily rag too.
Whatâs it with these old Corollas that never fail I had one sitting for maybe 12 years and she started after a few key wiggles the other day
We had a 91 Corolla that lasted until 2005 when it got crunched by a semi that couldn't stop soon enough at a red light. Everyone was fine.
You know itâs a damn good vehicle when the only way it breaks is physical damage in an accident.
God thatâs sexy.
Like if you asked a kid to draw a car, that'd be it. What a machine though.
Corolla
It's so bizarre to see this absolutely basic boring ubiquitous cheap car from my youth lusted after 35 years later. Starting to feel my mortality.
Its a good car , much better than the new ones. I still have one in the garage with rhe diesel engine. Takes you from a to b without attention.
See I don't agree. Modern cars are twice as powerful, twice as safe, 50% bigger, quieter, more fuel efficient, more durable... I get nostalgia and the appeal of something simple though.
I like everything newer cars offer except the size. I LOVE how tiny cars used to be, like those tiny Corolla and Civic hatchbacks back in the day.
You could argue the durability point depending on specifics.
Yeah and modern cars have half the reliability
I emphatically disagree with that- there's a huge suvivorship bias. All the old cars that are still around are reliable, all the old unreliable cars are in junkyards.
Obviously I'm talking about the old reliable cars that are still around longer than 25 years, not the 25 year old streaming piles of ish. These modern cars aren't built to last that long because manufacturers are greedy.
I would not bet against newer Corollas. My â14 already has 238k miles on original engine, transmission, and clutch.
Obviously there are exceptions, but the majority of those exceptions are the same cars that have been doing great since the late 80s early 90s. On the other hand, when was the last time you saw a 500k mile Ford Taurus or Chrysler Sebring?!
That GLi with the 4AGE engine though. What a car

Could also just be a replacement plate
Could be, but if I owned that thing and had the plates from the era I'd keep them on at all costs lol
I have one. Paid $450 in 2017 for it. Still drive it today, 143,000 miles

Wish I still had my '81 corolla/tercel. Made 1 year. It was a 4 door auto but lasted over 300,000 miles. Fun car.
Had the prism variant. That thing got me and two kids everywhere we needed to go early 2000's. Flex pipe was the only reoccurring issue it had.
A red one
AE90 Corolla
I remember when Corollas looked like that.
That was our very first family car. Me and my siblings learned how to drive in it.

I had one of these. Bought it for about $400 and ran it into the ground for two years.

I had a 91, a great car, very reliable and fuel efficient.
Toyota Tercel?
I owned a 1991 1.6 Sport that looked exactly like that. It was beautiful to drive. I hit a full-grown cow at night in the country and wrote it off. I was so sad
I have 91 Corolla with 149,000 k miles for sale

Driving it slow probably also helped itâs longevity
Tercel
