kind of hard to miss a read diff or a drive shaft going to the back or even the 3rd output from the tranny!... If it's a fwd corolla and has a rear diff... well then it's probably awd. Shouldn't need to put it on jack stands lol

yep and the ae95 came in wagon and sedan form.

The awd wagon look different than the fwd one, but the sedans look the same.

I think the only All-trac Corollas sold in the US were wagons. They ae easily identified by the side window of the cargo area having a higher bottom edge and the front grill and side lights are different to other AE92s.

See the pictures in the link.
