    One day he asked me, why my car always hot in traffic jams and ok on long distance. (I was driving a nissan sonny 130y).
    So I checked his car. I found out the reason and asked him. How long has this happened?.
    He answered, nearly 4 months.
    I said to him you are lucky that your engine didn't not burn.
    I told him that, there is no water in the radiator.

    While it might have been incredibly plain in the styling department, they were good cars. Here in New Zealand it is second nature to see Corollas of this generation being used as daily drivers (same applied when I was in LA in '09).
    As for the advert, the South African (accents aside) giveaway is the reflectors at the front. And that soundtrack sounds like its done to the tune of The Cars - "Hello Again" (which also came out in 1984)

    You'll see it in a flash.
    ...And it gets you moving-
    with Corolla dash!
    When you go one better
    You go with much more space!
    Open new horizons-
    With its flair and pace!"

    Edit 1: I'm not sure if the last line is "selling pace" or something else, but I've slowed it down and try to see what it is and this is the best line I got out of it that makes the most sense, I've heard "smelling" at first and that's probably not it with "mailing" as a close second, but yeah, 1980s ads quality.

    80's car commercials: Our cars aren't the fastest, but they're sure fun to drive!
    Car commercials now: We're the safest car. That's all that matters is safety, right? We hope so, because our cars are pretty boring and uninspired without it... Uh, look! We have automatic lane assist so you can "safely" check your phone and do other stupid and dangerous driving habits!

    The first Corolla with front wheel drive. GM and Toyota had a partnership and sold this car as a Chevy Nova. Doesn't seem possible this was almost 40years ago.

      Problem is that the Nova was assembled in the United States

    It's squared in style, the Toyota way. It's 80's after all.

    I wish my parents had bought Toyotas back then. They would still be in the driveway today like my current 20-year old Toyotas. Big advantage is none of my vehicles have payments, unlike my neighbors with modern vehicles.
