Minty-Licious!

My grandpa drives a Toyota Corolla.
He loves mint. Seriously. He is obsessed with the minty colour/smell.
His car is white, but the interior is all things mint:

Green seat covers with this ridiculous black mint leave pattern,
a green front loader,
a green steering wheel cover,
white and green seatbelt covers,
minty green carpets
etc.

He even has a mint leave hanging from his rear view mirror
and a mint-flavoured air freshener that he sprays in his car every morning.  

When I was younger

Just down the road from my parents lives a Toyota dealer; Paul.
He often comes home with one of the company cars and every evening my sister and I would walk down the street, just to see which car he brought home this time. Sometimes he would have a new car and he'll take us for a quick spin in it. 

One evening, about 15 years ago, there was a Corolla in their driveway. I can't remember the model or anything, but I know that the car was still new and that it was a Corolla. a Metallic green one. 

taken in 1992, my profile picture is the current car

My journey with Toyota started in the year i was born (1990). My father bought this Corolla in 1990, The Picture attached was taken in 1992. It is a 1.3L 4speed with now about +-160000km on the clock. My father bought himself another car for his daily driving and gave the Corolla to my mother to transport me and my sister to school and back. I admired the young guys and older gentlemen with their "box shapes”, wanted one so badly when I turned 18, but they are a very rare find, I started looking for a car, watched the classifieds daily for the one that will catch my eye!

Toyota Corolla: The Legacy

Toyota Corolla 1983

It was so much more than a catchy jingle between episodes of McGyver and Beyond 2000. It was also an assurance; constant and soothing. “Everything keeps going right, Toyota.”

And it still is.

32 million Toyota Corollas have been sold worldwide since the first generation Corolla was launched in 1966.
South Africans will be familiar with the 3rd generation Corolla, the first of this line to ever hit its shores and the beginning of this cars enduring legacy in our country. Since 1975, Toyota Corolla has been building its reputation on reliability and affordability.

Back in February I took a look at Toyota's new Optimal Drive engine. Toyota have released their new Corolla 1.3 Optimal Drive and it's time to see if this really is the fuel efficiency breakthrough we've been waiting for.

If the measure of a legend is universal and timeless appeal then there’s a powerful argument for imortalising the Toyota Corolla for all time in the automotive hall of fame. Superb driving dynamics, sleek youthful styling and a solid reputation for reliability and durability are all virtues that have made the Corolla South Africa’s, and the world’s, most popular car.
