I'm sick of it's unreliability, do you know how gay it is to be on night shift, do overtime until 3 am, then when you are driving home, for it to break down on you? It's done this to me twice, so it's in the fire.

I'm going to buy a corolla wagon insted.

It's a 1982 4G32 Carburetted turbo AA cordia I'm getting rid of.

What broke on your Cordia? If it needs more work than you can afford then maybe it's time to get rid of it.
But a Corolla? I dare you to post on nzmmc that you're selling the Mitsi, and the people there will steer you in the right direction. ;p
Whatever you do, don't get a diesel automatic Corolla wagon. We have one at work with 170,000kms on the clock. Handles ten times worse than my old GSL and acts like it's gonna die any minute. All of the staff hope it does die, but because it's a Toyota, it just keeps smoking away sounding like death and refusing to force us to replace it!
Corolla wagons are the devil. :P

Who's the one buying the Toyota wagon, man? :P
The other company car at my work is a Toyota Camry wagon, with a four speed automatic that only has 2nd and 3rd gears. You go from 0 to 100kph in second gear and it takes all day!

my AC GSL used to piss me off, the ass of a thing would surge like shit always, it just got to the point whete it pissed me off so much i got rid of it,

I find that climate control just erractly operates and it serves no real purpose....

It's your own personal preference though...
