Guys,
I have owned/modded/driven many different Corona's and in my experience, the XT130 (sedan) has the best handling (well when you upgrade the springs anyway, which there are so many choices on the market for performance springs to choose from....)
Because it actually has struts which the previous models didn't have, it makes the front much more controlable, and as previously stated, it uses coils instead of a leaf setup at the rear, making corners much more enjoyable 
With stock springs and shocks, these cars are not to great to drive, but upgrading the springs/shocks makes it seem like you are driving a different car.
BEWARE WHEN DRIVING IN THE WET  
I find it strange why the best handling corona model (pre 86), came out with the slowest engine (Holden Shitfire)???????????
Anyway, thats my two cents.....
