Give me reasons to buy and not to buy a Corolla GTS
Corolla GTS
Brandon Green
Robert Morris
lets talk realistic
its a 40 year old peppy hatchback that revs really high. There's gonna be a lot of things that can go wrong with them
now lets talk idealistic
I have driven one, its really fun, and it looks really fun. Drives like a go cart.

dumping whatever 86 photos I have on my hard drive
Aiden Barnes

Evan Russell

Do you own another car? will this be your daily?

Yup, give it a moment and mr cummy will be all over this thread like a rash.
Bentley Davis
Haven't started looking yet. I also don't have another car because i walk to work. But i would like to have a car to drive places.

Tofu tax on a 40 year old economy car

>1986 was 40years ago
Really makes you think

I'll give you two
A60 Supra
'84 Celica
Both of these are superior choices to the 86, sure they may be heavier but you'll find them in better condition, and they'll be cheaper, plus JZ swaps are doable in either

It's entirely possible to daily one. The 4A-GE is a fantastic little engine and it's pretty reliable. Minor components may go on you, but if you can work a wrench, it's not hard to fix most things. Hell, I've learned how to fix my car just by buying an AE86. Perfect for entry level mechanics.
Major thing to look for when buying is rust. And if you live in a fucking winter hellhole like me that salts the roads, definitely take it off the road for the season. I'd drive mine year round if I could.

post more pics, i love these cars

if you want the gt86 is a modern version of the ae86.
Cameron Wright
It's a 30 year old Toyota shitbox
William Young
If you have to ask, don't buy one.
If this is exactly the kind of car that fits your taste, probably.
This.
Yes. A fucking enjoyable and fun one.
Gabriel Gonzalez
Pros
Its cool, it sounds nice, pop up headlights are cool
Cons
WAY overpriced for what it is, Rust issues, possible issues with previous owners possibly going full dagumi and possibly damaging the car, pop up headlights can break
If you find one for a reasonable price and you got the money, go for it
Just make sure you don't get suckered into buying a crappy SR5 like that one copypasta spammed every week on Veeky Forums.
David Lee
get this instead for 10-15k
Asher Barnes
this, s2000's are pretty fun, and relatively cheap
Samuel Martin
FYI, we never got true AE85s here, ours fall somewhat in between (4ac instead of 3ac, hydraulic clutch instead of mechanical, and a t50 instead of a K50). As a result, it's much easier to convert one from an SR5 - GTS.
Jason Adams
Most of this is bull shit. Or not applicable to the US market
Connor Miller
dont get a corolla, if you want a good rwd get an rx8 or a mk3 supra. anything but that. only weebs drive those old corollas
Leo Perez
>has never driven a corolla
Thomas Moore
>good rwd get an rx8 or a mk3 supra
