Economy
Value
Beginning to appreciate in value, as they are now rare and have a strong cult following.
Costs
Parts are very hard to come by now, and very expensive if you go through Toyota.

On the road
Driving
(Note, my car's the 1.6 GT Twincam). Great engine (7600rpm redline). Chassis design shows its age.
Performance
0-60 in 7.7secs and about 120mph from a 1.6!! Will rev forever.

It's a Toyota!
Image
Most people either don't know what it is, or write it off as a crap old Corolla.
Comfort
Not bad, but again, shows its age with no creature comforts.

Security
There is none!

Service is good, but you just can't take the prices seriously.
