I have a 94 corolla as my DD and its not required anything ever. I have done completely simple maintenance and its never failed me. I have 120k on it now and its still going strong. Its the 1.8ltr with auto transmission. I wouldn't buy honda. I dont care what anyone says about how dependable they are. When those 4 bangers get high miles they blow head gaskets and the interiors feel extremely cheap. Thats my oppinion.
