The fifth generation of the Toyota Corolla, also known as the Corolla E80, came out in 1983. The fifth Corolla is considered to be the most popular within all the model’s generations. In fact, when Toyota stopped the production of the E80 series, around 3.3 million copies of the Corolla had been built.
