1: 1988 Toyota Corolla Junker
The 1980s Corolla models were some of the best-selling vehicles for Toyota. Putting the brand on the map as a quality automaker. Reddit user Toyosport81 told a story about his friend. “One of my friends had a POS – 1988 Toyota Corolla sedan – and one day we packed that thing full of 5 people. The suspension wasn’t very good so when he would go over railroad tracks all of us in the back would jump off the seat and come back down hard – making the back of his car slam into the tracks. He hated it. We loved it because he got so mad haha.
This story just goes to show you how Corolla has managed to cultivate a reputation. Most first-time drivers have owned a Corolla at one point or another. The car offers a stellar amount of quality for the price, although many of this generation Corolla have entered the junkyards.
