"It's like the car is trying to give you blue balls, but forgets that it actually has to get you hard first" That's just fucking genius.

I had an 88 FX that I picked from a dealership for $5. No joke. I still have the dealer invoice. Red Rocket was a great car.

"it's like the car is trying to give you blueballs, but forgets that it actually has to get you hard first"

The Corolla IS the Definition of Regular Car

CAN YOU GUYS DO A REGULAR HORSE REVIEW PLEASE , it would be really funny

The AE82 and 86 came out in the same year... and both were optioned with 4age..

This has to be the most regular car i've ever seen.

"I have no idea how this carburetor works!" Said every person ever about any carburetor.

Me: can i get an ae86? Mom: we have an ae86 at home Ae86 at home:

If you still have the old Cressida, please review it. 80's Toyotas are my A E S T H E T I C.

i love these super regular car reviews! classic stuff!

*Subpar EuroBeat*

I had one of these with the 4age motor when it first came out. It was called the FX16, and was a blast to drive. It was as fast as a Civic Si or Rabbit GTi from the same time period.

My friend's first car was an '87 Camry. He got it for free from a family friend, it had around 420,000kms at the time he got it. The car was absolutely falling apart. It had been sitting for a few years, and the first day he got it running we went camping in it about 2 hours out of town. The car ran so well. The only issue was the wheel bearings were dead so it ate through tires quicker than a professional pie eater. But man, was that car ever fun. Because it didn't matter, it was crap, we could do whatever.

my first car was a 1987 Toyota Corolla FX16 GTS. great first car. loved it.

I do remember working on that 4-AC when I was young. Changed the oil/filter/air filter, recharged the A/C, replaced the spark plugs, replaced the factory tape deck with an aftermarket one. Man were those good times.

I owned this exact car, except it was blue with blue interior and it looked cooler...wheels had black centers. Mine was a 5 speed with A/C and a cassette deck. The hatch held a full size mattress and box spring with the seat down, super handy. My friends could all pile in for trips. Got great mileage and was very comfortable, easiest stick shift i ever drove. Used up break pads often and the muffler rusted out 3 times... but besides a bit of carb adjustment it was extremely reliable. They weren't selling well so i got it new at the end of the year for $7500 new i believe. Great car, miss it.

Good song at the end!

im gonna listen to all your new vids while at work thats a good idea

Underrated car. Functional, gas sipper, strong motor (GTFX model) & soon to be a classic car. I need one of these in my life. Finally glad you got to review one of these.

my uncle gave me a 2002 hyundai accent 5spd 1.5l and this car is pretty much the last of the simple cheap cars. everything is manual and it has about 90hp. I love this damn car, it's everything you want in a daily driver. cheap, slow, good mpg, 4 seats, quiet on the road, and no modding capabilities

I bought a used '88 Corolla FX (8-valve) back in 1996. It was sliver with a blue interior with the 5-speed and a sunroof. The AC was ice cold and it sipped fuel. It was one of the most reliable used cars I've ever owned. That thing ran forever.

This is the BEST car show in the world! Each video a jewel!

My uncle had one of these in the 90s. I hadn't seen one up close since then... until now. Thanks for doing this!

I can safely say the corolla has never been in my life. I don't think I've even been a passenger in one.

I had one of these! it was really fun to drive. There was something really mechanical feeling about the gear lever that I loved, which was odd cos it was cable operated

Very nice music as usual Roman. Badass intro and lovely outro.

You, sirs, always put a smile on my face.

Loved the commentary about fall. so true.

Solid review, but also top notch Roman!

Wow, that analogy with the fall anxiety..... that was spot on. I came here for a car review and laughs, and I am now sitting here, having a flashback to childhood memories. Great.

Simply the best video series in existence.

This is one of my all time favorite cars. Especially in the 3 door hatch. I'm NZ we were lucky enough to get AE82 GT/FX-GT with a 4A-GE in 3 door hatch, sedan, and 5 door liftback, they're pretty common to the point where people often use the engines from these cars to make AE86 clones out of AE85s.

outro song from black mirror? my nigga roman

Truly, I don't give a steaming dog pile about the cars. I'm here for the content, delivery, and music. RGR and Roman, this was a good one.

Nice video boys. Especially roman with the intro and outro

I live in Canada, none of the Hondas or Toyotas of the 80's even lasted through the 90's here. Sure they were reliable cars mechanically, but with the winters here and salt on the roads, those cars with their inferior gauge and quality of steel in the body panels literally dissolved here.

had an ae82. the twincam 4age version was the one to have

This review reminds me of the older ones toward the beginning, I loved those.

These 'Rollas are pretty sick, they remind me of kp62 starlets which I absolutely love 👍 awesome review guys!

hahaha! your "blue-ball" closing statement killed me! (^^;)

Awesome Starboy remix Roman.

I love rewatching all of these. You have such a grasp on nostalgia. Commented to say that gravity falls captures that feeling painfully well.

Okay, I need a full version of the intro song. Favorite cover yet.

Liking that 15 million merits at the end there

The only FWD corolla I like that was available in the states is an AE-92 GTS. "almost as good as the tofu car, 1/4th the price... no drifting."

This was the first car I had after getting my driver's license! It was my mom's old car... It used to shake so much on the highway when I got it close to 70 that I thought it would fall apart!

Best RCR closing song ever! The harmonies got me exited.

How about a Mazda 323 BG hatchback. With the 1.6 engine.

The truth about these old small cars being fun has been spoken!

holy crap I learnt to drive in an '88 corolla. That interior shot at 6:10 brought back so many memories!

My first car was a sedan version of the AE82. Loved that car. It still survives to this day.

I would love to see the high performance model of this car. I use to see them around all the time. Now I do not see them as much on the road. I would love to own a Starlet that was rear wheel drive. This Corolla kinda of reminds me of my first car a 1988 Sentra with four speed. I hope Mr. Regular gets to review one of those one day. If not that generation then the next generation SE-R.

ae82 gti corolla's do have the 4age stock though

I used to have the sedan AE83. This episode gives me the feels. And I replaced it with a 90 Cressida. That's why I love this series. They know me.❤️

99-05 mk4 Jetta, golf and gti please review one of these!!! I enjoy the videos. Informative and hilarious!!!!!!

Corollas aren't that common in Spain, I feel either the SEAT Ibiza or the French compacts (Renault Megane, Peugeot 306/307/308 or Citroen Xsara/C4) are the cars we've seen a million times BTW, I love throwing around my dad's 65hp SEAT Inca (courier van based after the SEAT Ibiza). The rigidity of the back is fairly good and it's lots of fun to make it skid around and all that. Cheap old "slow" cars are the most fun to push to the limit, both accessible and fun and most seem to be able to take the beating. You will not overheat an Inca in 15 minutes like I've seen pro drivers do with a Lamborghini Gallardo or a Honda S2000. Weird, right?

Wait...was that Ol' Heller at 3:03?

First car was an '88 Corolla FX with the 3-speed automatic...though I wished it was standard and though it was riddled with issues due to previous owner's apathy for maintenance, I loved this thing so damn much. This car gave birth to my love of cars and taught me so much about them...They only had this body style for 1987 and 1988. If I ever saw one of these again, particularly the FX16 w/ 5 speed, I'd take every effort to ensure that it stands in my driveway.

i got sad when this review ended because i just love these car reviews.

Couldn't you get the ae82 with a 4age from factory? Because people use the twin cams as donors all the time to swap into the ae71/ke70.

I think the "electronically controlled" carb just might mean it has a throttle position sensor in it. My DRZ has one on the carb, but you can disconnect it from the computer and it does absolutely nothing. It just satisfies some emissions regulation somewhere.

I learnt to drive in a ae82, instantly fell in love with old car.

YES YES YES!!! Finally an AE82 !!!!!

This is one of the cars United States got that Canada never got. I guess hatchbacks weren't on Canadians shortlist at the time.

They don't make hot hatchbacks anymore. Not like these. My grandma had a '89 4 door corolla till 2010 I think it had over 300k miles. Old Toyota's have a lot of life in them.

your words really hit home especially as an ae80 owner who modded his, you are right in saying how much money do you wanna dump into one of these cars

Dude, the closing line was legendary!

Anyone else notice the blue Echo around the 3 minute mark? Rip

It's 3:08 am and I should be doing math and I just snuck downstairs to lay down some BROWN in the toilet because I can't use mine because people are sleeping and this one is far away from everything....

I had an FX16 back in the day. Nice little pocket rocket with the 4AG, 4 wheel discs, front strut bars,all stock. Was even able to take a free tour of the NUMMI plant but that was way after the production of this car ended

Lol love the song parody at the end. Ever since I've watched Black Mirror that song and episode will always stick with me

I was really hoping it would be an FX16 (FWD 4A-GE Goodness) in the same pedestrian hatchback body

dont forget the ae82 chevy nova

Wow, dude, a AE82 sedan was one of my first cars and the first car I nodded. You hit the nail on the head with EVERYTHING you said. The 4AC is FUN and the carb is responsive, just never try to work on that carb because like you said its a clusterfuck. I SO want another...

My grandmas mother bought one brand new. My mother and several of her siblings and cousins learned to drive in it. Now it's mine and i love it! Even though I'm 2 meters tall and hit i my head on the roof and my knees on the steering wheel all the time

He's a muf*kin carboy

I always felt this looked too much like an AMC Gremlin.

That closing line, brilliant.

My mother had one of those when i was a kid ! A red 87 1.3 DX ! It was sloooow but endlessly reliable!

All this talk of motor swaps and no mention of the FX16, which came with a 4AGE?

Can a camry count as a corolla? One totaled my Mustang, and I don't really want to have another Toyota intersect somewhere in my life.

Should've done a review on the FX16, now those corollas are awesome! I have the gts model and that thing is fun as hell

The Roman's music just gets better and better.

Holy fuck did Toyota go wrong bringing this out after the amazing 86...

FX16 GTS......nuff said

hey Mr Regular! I have been a fan of your reviews for a long time. I have a Cadillac ATS 2.0 MANUAL(!) that I would love for you to review. It is such a seemingly regular car, but then you get in and BAM stick shift. Needless to say they don't sell a lot in this configuration. Please review it!!

Is there a chance we'll get 60fps video in the future?

Also OMG BLACK MIRROR REFERENCE.

you absolute waffle, its 2AM and now i have to watch you reveiw some obscure toyota.

My cousin bought a new FX16 hatch 5 speed.....let me drive...fun car and inspired me to purchase a 85 MR2.....now I'm proud Owner of a 85 and 86 MR2...

I just realized what your narration reminds me of, the narration in the wonder years lol.

this car killed off all the rear wheel drive corollas.

What a cockblocking car!

thanks for this video RCR. I grew up with one of these, it was the first western car my parents got after the fall of the Berlin Wall and it replaced their Trabant...btw you should review a Trabant some time

Tfw you're absolutely drop dead tired but you can't sleep no matter what you try. and then your phone buzzes and there's a new episode of RCR

That's my problem with slow cars, they give me blue balls. I just can't get off in them. No matter how much I want to like them.

Tic Tac down an *OPEN MANHOLE*.

Oh cool, there's a guy that lives down the road from me and has one of these! I love seeing it come down the road 😊

i bought the twin cam fx16 gts new and it was very slow around town because you dont get all the 16 valves working until 4200 rpm. most the time i had it floored struggling to keep up with traffic and that was with the electronic transmission in the performance mode. very reliable car for 23 years.
