As for me... Being my first and only car, i love the TOYOTA Corolla AE92 1600GL 16 valve 5 speed manual...

I know its not as exciting as the AE86 or the Celicas and Supras, but it does have some kind of sentimental value to me.

How about yoiu... what's your favorite Toyota?

I've only owned a few Toyotas (2 Camrys and 1 Corolla). I had a 5spd wagon version of the AE92. I really did like that car. I particularlly loved the way the shifter was angled towards the driver rather than being vertical like so many other cars. It was a wonderful beater car and I wish I still had it.

I don't see my self getting another Toyota any time soon. The current cars are just so blah and they seem to lack the honest solid feel of quality this generation of Corolla seemed to have. Oddly enough the next generation of Corolla was the first where Toyota adopted many of the cost cutting ideas they learned from Chrysler's Neon. We the consumer ended up with a next generation Corolla that was still a good car but somehow seemed less good than the last one.

PS: The goodness does not extend to the rust-o-matic exhaust system.
