    Given the choice between one of these and a new Yaris three-door, would any one here rather have the Yaris?

    (I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I'm in an inquisitive mood.)

    I always wanted to swap in the 1.8 litre four from an E36 BMW 318i in one of these. Would be a nice machine, I think.

    Ahh, a Starlet - for those who wanted a new Toyota but couldn't quite stretch to a Tercel (!). A buddy wanted to buy a Starlet but a test drive convinced him that a Corolla coupe was a more livable choice. Notice there's no redline on the tach - maybe the gutless little engine could never rev into the danger zone?

    Fundamentally better car than the Aveo? Arguably so.

    This right here is the perfect candidate for resurrection as a daily driver.

    Nothing special, ergo, if it gets stolen/a tree falls on it, it spontaneously falls apart, no big deal.

    Great elemental cars. My mom had a Tercel, and a friend has another now. Too bad this one is headed directly back to the elements.

    I worked as a lot boy at a large Toyota dealer in the early 80's when these cars were new. They were crude and simple but a hoot to drive. The RWD Corolla's of the day were also fun to thrash.

    RWD Starlet, Corolla, Celica, Celica Supra, and Cressida. Not to mention the legendary 20R (maybe 22R) in their trucks. Anyone want to know where Toyota has gone wrong? Here is your answer.
