Hey, these are great cars. I've been a Toyota tech since '87, and have worked on, driven and owned corolla Alltracs, previa Alltracs, camry Alltracs, and of course, our Celicas. The last Corolla Alltrac I owned was an automatic. Not great on horsepower, at least the 5 speed models pulled better off the line, but extremely reliable, and they go anywhere without needing chains. I sold mine to a person 600 miles away for more than I paid for it, and she was ecstatic. Only drawback I felt was the shoulder belts that latched on the doors. Nearly hung myself a couple of times, but not all years had those 2 piece lap and shoulder belt systems. I was also considering putting a 4AGE motor in it, but didn't keep it long enough. Great car though! Good luck :wink:
