It was late in the year and the dealer advised me that the new model would be out soon and the selection would be better. As my present car, a '72 Celica, was running just fine I descided to wait. I was disappointed with the '82 model. I don't like the lines but then I judge a car from the inside and under the hood. The inside looked cheap when compared to the '81 interior. I was in to have the timing chain replaced and the dealer drove me to the train. I was thinking that, 'The Corolla interior wasn't too bad but nothing like a Celica' when the dealer asked me how I liked the new Celica. Well to conclude, my '72 is running just fine at 122,000 miles and the timing chain is the only major engine repair the car has had. Some other parts are giving way like the radiator but after 10 years of salt and snow it can be expected. As far as I am concerned Toyota makes the best cars on the market, in the under $20K range. If my car does give out I would have no objections to buying an '82 but I'll hold out for an '83 in hopes that the design is better. Bob Lawson (U of Toronto Computing Services)
