Toyota kept the old E80/E90 Corolla hatch alive as the Tazz from 1996 to 2006, selling it in enormous numbers as basic, honest transport. Parts are everywhere and any mechanic can fix one, which is why so many are still on the road. Twenty-year-old examples still change hands briskly as first cars.
