THE EPITOME OF TOYOTA'S RELIABILITY STAMP!!! THE COROLLA AE90: CARNVERSATIONS Redriven series

[@kipchumbakangogo900]

This is lovely. Am a fan of old is gold. Haven't bought a car yet but am inspired to go for this as a first time owner.

[@Harmuthkuthanapalithi]

You will not be disappointed I have a 1998 model still driving as good as new. To keep it going you need to service every 5 months religiously wheel alignment and wheel balancing every 6 months and good fuel not cheap. Replace spark plugs every 2 years.

Absolutely mindblowing stuff. Other than accessories, no modern car can beat the build quality of the vehicles from those years. And Erick now that you have reviewed the AE90, you can do the AE110, which I think is the one that birthed Premio Nyoka.

I can't agree less

I inherited an AE91 from my dad with a 5A-FE engine. It never broke down unless I broke it intentionally😅 What I really loved about it was the Economy mode for the A/C...that was one special feature on that car.

My dad had one straight from Japan in 1994. Huyo kitu ungeingia na mguu chafu ni vita 🤣🤣. Guy used to wash the engine na mkono every weekend and do service and maintenance mwenyewe.

This EE90 likely came with the carburated 1295cc 2E engine and the current owner upgraded it to the 1331cc 4E engine. Personally, I'd swap in the distributor-less, coil-over-plug 5E engine.

Hey Erick so a bit of clarification. They came with a 4A-GE red top only not GTE or GZE. The 4AGE black and silvertop came after 1993 especially with 100/110s the AE90/91 performance engines were 4AGE and 5AFHE. If you want the high end of this car (which I own) is SE Limited G version. Has power windows, performance long gauge dash, central locking, bit bigger throttle, relevant engine sensors and dual exhaust. And on affordability, mechanical parts are dirt cheap because of shared platform up to 2004 Toyotas and some Hondas but the aesthetic external parts eg genuine lights are kinda expensive.

A masterpiece of true Toyota engineering reliability. Corolla AE 91 has truly passed the test of time maintaining top notch reliability and practicability. This is a vehicle one can choose among many any time any day. There is also the AE 91 G grade that came with stabilizer bars and links both front and rear. It has very good handling. (Independent suspension front and rear) Thank you Erick Wokabi. We appreciate technology but this is one of the best content you have done. For such a car with that score at this time is excellent. I wonder how many newer versions would score the same at that age?

[@CARNVERSATIONS]

Ooow nice to know that there is a variant with both front and rear stabilizer links and thank you for watching and your support too

[@i_mwanagenzi]

At 20:02, the door handle breaking away, couldn't help but burst out in laughter. By the way, Nissan had generation that competed with the corollas from the 90s, Sunny B11-B14, then B15 and B16 in 2000s. Is it possible to review any of the first three B11-B13, they would really give a great comparison to this Corolla generation? i.e from E80, AE90 to E100. Keep up the amazing content wasee. Looking forward to more episodes in this series.

[@edwardingida7470]

These cars were bullet proof.... especially those 5A engines and also the 4A! I have seen these engines swapped in several different cars like the Peugeot Partner. I used to own one and so did my brothers .... mine was the AE92 and theirs the AE91 SE Limited and as such I would like to make a few corrections. The AE91 came with a 5A engine and as you mentioned, swapping these engines, especially the "A" series engines was a piece of cake. The AE91 was not performance oriented but if I recall, they came with a stabilizer bar but in the front only unlike the AE90. The AE92 was performance oriented and came with the 4AGE series of engines. These had both front and rare stabilizer bars and a stabilizer bar that comes fitted on top of the shocks so when you open the bonnet, you see the bar on top of the engine going from one shock to the other. The AE92 was also the chasis code for the performance Truenos/Levins (which I still own to this day but mine is the AE101 variant). Non performance Levins/Truenos came with a 5A engine and were AE91s. Also, AE92s came with disc brakes all round and were excellent at stopping especially if you use semi-ceramic brake pads. Another aspect was the manual came with sport ratio gearbox in the 92. You can sport the performance ones since the had printed on the back door GT Twin Cam 16. Also on the boot and the front grill. But am sure these days, most of these labels have been painted over since these cars are old. Another correction was that there was no 4A-GTE though some people have turboed their cars and given it that designation.... it wasnt there from the factory. All these 4A engines were 1600cc or there abouts. The lowest 4A grade was the 4A-FE. Next was the 4A-GE (thats where the real fun starts though the FE wasnt bad). Next was the supercharged 4A-GZE Great video guys. I look forward to each episaode.

[@jmioze]

Gari ni 504 SR , the ae91 se limited was good but dwn side to this vehicle is unless u upgrade to disc brakes n Monroe or robs magic shocks. Plus springs n push in a 4a-ge with I.T.B'z n genuine Japan muffler not hizo Chinese kelele mufflers
