Toyota Corolla is very reliable, same with the Camry.
Get an early 90s model, they look like *** but they're built to last.

I was told to stay away from there DOHC motors because the drink oil like gas.

95 SL1 is a good car. I guess I need to get that book that tells if cars are lemons.

Buy a Peugeot 205, with a 1.1 or 1.4, cheap and reliable. But i doubt you will be able to find one over there :P
