Main reason I like mine is because old Toyota's are all I've ever known. My first car was a hand-me-down 1983 5-speed Corolla SR5 hatchback that I received when I was 15. My parents bought it when they married in 1984 and it had been in our family ever since. My dad gave me the car and the Toyota repair manual and said that if I can have it running in a year then I will have a car to drive when I got my license. I still have that car. I still love that car, but time came for me to have my own car that I could tinker with since the '83 was pretty much done. I decided I'd stick to what I know and went to the AE86 since it had more power, looked cooler, and it wasn't too expensive since I don't have wads of cash like a lot of people I see on here. Practical, easy to work on, and it's fun to drive (RWD FTW!!). But as I've seen on this forum many many times: to each his (her) own.
