I currently own the Haynes manual for this car (a '91 Corolla). It covers a very broad range of models...from '84 - 92. So one would think that a "model specific" manual that covers only the 90-93 years would be much more precise and informative. WRONG! This manual is not much more than the owners manual you have in your glovebox (ok, that's an exaggeration). But it is pretty worthless. If I could have browsed this book before I bought it, I wouldn't have bought it. The Haynes manual is still the best you can do....unfortunately...

Regarding the Chilton's 90-93 Corolla manual, I'd give it two-and-a-half stars if I could. It's better than no manual at all. I acquired a super low-mileage '91; I don't know much about Corollas, but I know these maintenance schedules and other bits of information pertain to older models than my car, and probably older than a '90 as well. If I hadn't used the glovebox manual as a guide, my car would have gotten a lot of unnecessary maintenance, and witnessed a lot of headscratching.

I bought my book some time ago. This one has a different cover and might have addressed the above problems, but I wouldn't bet on it.
