A little about the car. — Toyota Corona EXiV, 2.0 liter, 1995
At the time of purchase 28.08.07 165000r. mileage was 177,000 km, currently 215,000 km. Twisted or not, I do not know, but I hope for the best.
What I like about this car:
— Appearance.
- price-quality ratio for the offered cars in this class.
— maintainability and availability of auto parts
— weight ratio (1200kg) to power 140l.s.
— convenient control console, and so everything is at hand.
— Folding rear seats and a fairly spacious trunk.
- Due to the low landing, it is stable when cornering
- The automatic transmission works well, it does not "stupid" (they brought it up on a new Corolla, when switching it seems to be holding it by the tail)
- Door locks work well in winter.
- a very warm stove.
Among the shortcomings can be noted:
— Harsh.
- the inconvenience of disembarking the landing of passenger seats due to the low landing, this does not concern the driver.
- when landing even one person, Lego sags back, and sags down to ODA. level then at least the 5th plant, nothing changes. Maybe it's just that the springs are already weak.
— Good dynamics up to 120 km / h, then picking up not so willingly, maybe it already seems so to me …
— It seems to me that the consumption is too much for such an engine 13-14l. in summer and 16-18l in winter, although maybe I drive like that.
Although I remember I measured it for savings, if the ride was very calm in the summer, it turned out 10.5 liters less than nothing! In winter 14l. with minimal heating.
- interior cools down quickly in winter
warming up in winter eats up, and if you drive a little in the cold, then in general the car warms up more than it drives :) you have ice! don't hold back :)
At the expense of the rigidity of the car, you just have such racks. My front is soft, my back is hard, it doesn't shake my soul. Consumption 10l per 100 for 2l and automatic normul. 13-14 in the summer is certainly a bit much :(
Possibly the stands. She just provokes a nimble ride, and so, if slowly, then 11l turned out)
