1991 Toyota Corolla Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This car runs great, 21yrs old and it's still going... just had it checked and all it needed was a tierod and the battery was shot. Its a real beater, but keeps going strong.... Love it! I got it with just over 159k on it. I've already put over 1k miles on it in about a months time. Back and forth 70miles 3 days a week for school, trips to friends all over and to NY too... Sweet!Jan 30, 2012

well i own a 1991 toyota corolla station wagon it was a hand me down from my parents, and i thought it was the worst thing ever at first sight then i began to drive it and i loved it. well its a 19 year old car and its got a bit of rust lots of dents and its at almost at 650 000kms and everything is still good on it except the body it got dented up pretty bad because of the farm, but me and my 3 sisters beat the hell out of that car it stood up to everything hitting houses, garages, even a bmw hit it at 50kms and only got a crack in the bumper(bmw was writen off), but it has proved that you cant kill it even if you redline it everyday, ramp it, hit it with a truck, or even stuff the air box full of random things. its not fast getting up to speed but once it gets up to 180kms it keeps going til it redlines found that out on the highway going from the farm to the city(turned a 30min drive into an 8min drive) but i drive it nice now its never see a shop expect for new tires i only do oilchanges,belts, and air filters and thats it, its also good for offroading. as for looks well its sexy(lol im jk) how i met my current girl, and for high school that car served me well(in other words i love the wagon because you can fold down the back seats and you got a bed for you and 2 lucky ladies lmao)Jan 04, 2011

This little Corolla had a 1.6L 4 cyl single cam. 5 speed manual was well suited for this car. After having driven a few autos in the same model, I definitely think the manual was better suited to this car, and definitely made it more fun. Manual allowed some nice little burnouts. Bought this car from my parents for $1000, and it lasted me a good few years after that. This was a typical cheap P-plater car. My "helpful" additions: chrome wheels (i sprayed the steel wheels with chrome spray paint) more audio power than engine power (2 x 3 way 6x9" speakers in rear parcel shelf, 2 x 6" splits in front doors, 2 x 4" 2 way speakers in rear doors, 1 x 15" sub and 1 x 12" sub in a custom made sub box enclosure which took up the entire boot) TRD stickers which made the stock corolla go SOOOO much faster Some great memories in this car.Mar 17, 2010

Perfect family sedan that deserves respect. We used this car as a family, and when I say family, I mean everyone in the family used it for several years taking turns. The only problem we had in 11 years was a snapped carburetor belt in a long distance drive. And then of course there was me, the last family member to drive it. It was totaled in an accident I had and needless to say losing this car really did hurt back then.Sep 29, 2009

Performance, though not great it is decent and easily keeps up with highway traffic. With the addition of a K+N air filter, synthetic oil and good spark plugs I upped the gas milage by 5 MPG to 48 HWY. 1.6 liter engine and 5 speed. If I kept my speed down I am sure I could hit 50. Handling is great as this was an upgrade from an old Tercel. Build quality is excellent and parts are easy to locate used and new. Appearance its a nice little wagon nothing spectacular that stands out, its an average looking car that nobody take much notice of. Cost of ownership has been low I did the usual things maintenance wise and it has not let me down. Most of my expense has gone into Oil changes and gas. Fun Factor, as a wagon its been very versatile. I've managed to sleep in it when I went camping and the rain was too much.Jun 30, 2009

There are many things a man looks forward to in his life, and they are always special. This being my first car, it was no exception. As a performer, it's nothing special. this being a regular Corolla, it was powered by a pitiful 1.6 105 HP 4A-FE mated to a 3-speed auto gearbox. Even with all those years under it's belt the Corolla was able to get out of it's own way, but passing required a little forethought. Carrying more than 2 people, or any heavy load, pushed the little 4-banger to it's little limit as well. build quality was what you'd expect of an older car. some things didn't work, and some things worked some of the time. The seats were faded and worn, and everything was loose. Overall cost... well, here's where things get hairy. The car was originally $1100, but shortly after it needed a new engine due to the PO's neglect. Over the 2 years I owned it, things would die in 3 month spurts. first year it was engine, muffler, bodywork. Second year was starter, alternator, CV joint, and Transmission. It wasn't really all that good on gas as you would expect from a small car, averaging a silly ~28 mpg combined. It still had some good points though, as cheap beater, it was fun to drive in the twisties. Decent handling and a little pep helped, and the overall feel that a tiny car with no safety features brings did as well. It was old, tired, weak, didn't have much room, and was an money pit, but I loved her all the same. Feb 21, 2009

Performance - About 70kw at the front wheels Build Quality - old car needs new bearings maybe new radiator. Appearance - Very clean interior for its age exterior needs a few dents removed otherwise not bad maybe new paint job. Cost - $50 for a full tank good for bout 500km reliable Fun Factor- lacks power does good burnouts and 180's handling aint great either maybe due to bald tires :P corolla's are reliable hi revving engines good for a thrash.Oct 22, 2008
