AE86 Corolla GTS, it was my all time favorite car when i was teenager, in fact i still love this car!!! It equipped with a 4AGE 1.6L engine, rear wheel drive, with the TVIS Toyota variable intake system, the air intake will increase at 4350rpm, engine sound will be more fierce after the 4350rpm mark. Acceleration is kind of slow, brake is ok, and handling was outstanding due to good balance of the car, i love to keep full throttle entering the corner (due to it is underpower), and the car can drift a little bit out of the corner which you will never got this experience from a FWD Civic. The build quality is good, i used my AE86 as a part time courier car, it had done over 180000miles on it without any major problem. The styling is good, it looks like it never got old. Gas mileage is great. Its just so fun to drive this little car! I owned three AE86 during my teenager period, I really missed it!!!!

I've had many cars, but never one that was so reliable and fun to drive.

This machine is the car of my dreams, and has been for many years. Its dated styling and simple RWD solid axle platform just add to its already strong old-school charm. Many may recognize this car from the late 90s japanese animation Initial D, as well as from Polyphony Digitals Gran Turismo series for the Sony Playstation (1,2,3). Its 1.6 liter DOHC 16 valve (the 4AG-E) Yamaha-developped engine with a lofty 7300rpm redline putting out a mere 126hp in GTS trim may be laughable by todays standards, but back in 1983, it was the most volumetrically efficient motor ever released on a production car and its 2100 lbs curb weight made it a perfect first race car for anyone wanting to learn the ropes. My car has been through 3 newer engines already, and updated 1994 high compression 20 valve Silvertop 4AG with inidividual throttle bodies ( 8000rpm) and a revised 20 valve, known as the Blacktop 4AG with lighter internals and even higher compression and redline were put to use. The car now sits gutted open, stitch and seam welded with a custom transmisison cage and firewall to house a very special and extremely rare 2004 toyota Altezza RS200z engine and 6 -speed transmission. This engine, known as the 4th generation of the 2.0 liter 16 valve DOHC Yamaha developped 3SGE ( aka BEAMS) puts out 215 hp and revs to a stratospheric 8500 rpm, all while making a song that could make Metallica green with envy.

Great learner car for the great art of Drifting. Suspension is the only true weakness but that can be upgraded. The 4age engine is invincible and with disk brakes on front and rear it has excellent braking. All in all, a very fun little RWD car
