You talking new from TTTL or roro? TTTL can get you the sedan with the 1zz 1.8 on special order. They only brought in the station wagons with the 1zz 1.8. I hear they stopped bringing in the wagons tho.
You can get the wagon, sedan and hatchback with the 1zz 1.8 and the wagon and hatchback with the 2zz-ge 1.8 (190hp) roro.
Never heard of any such problem as the power steering brain giving problem......as the 1zz model had hydraulic power steering and not electric like the 1nz 1.5. Also never heard of evap or compressor problems either and have none of these on my 1.8.

ye,s i never heard of these problems either. I only heard a guy in the bamboo talking how they dont bring them because of the high prices for the evaporator and compressor, maybe we both heard it from the same guy. Everyone i know with a f-used or a corolla from TTTL sing praises about the vehicle. Of course there are a few with complaints but that is expected

The 1.8 engine come with a hydraulic power steering.THhe 1.5 engines are the one s that come with a brainbox for the steering to allow for less load on the enggine and for the speed sensitive features.

1zz-fe engined corollas area at 132-138 bhp. 2zz-ge engined corollas are at 190 bhp. Yes the 2zz-ge corollas are rare.

That price actually seems good. Cause NZEs going for closer to $90K now...
w.r.t. the original question: No, no and no. Never had any issues with the 1ZZ engine. 4 years plus and never had to touch anything except oil and filters, and changed plugs.
