Used 1999 Toyota Corolla VE for Sale near Windsor, ON

Great little car. Maybe not the most attractive car on the lot. Performance is great if you're talking about longevity and maintenance requirements, however there's little power. Very fun car to poke around in. I wish it had ABS, better crash rating and cruise control.

1999 Corolla VE 1.8L, ~44,500 miles My trim was the lowest trim option available...has manual windows and locks and no ABS. The transmission is a 3-speed auto without overdrive. Performance: The engine seems to have pretty good acceleration for a 1.8L four, handling is pretty good. The brakes do stop the car very well but of course if you mash the brake pedal down the wheels will almost instantly lock due to lack of ABS. Gas mileage is around 20-24MPG all the time, even if you drive it hard. Build Quality: My car seems to have pretty good build quality, and has not needed any major repairs as of yet. Still on the OE brakes, and tire wear isn't bad at all. The engine seems to be in pretty good shape with no oil burning or extraneous gas consumption. However, the engine has been idling at higher RPMs than usual and doesn't seem to back down until a few minutes pass. Transmission is still in good shape, but shifts kind of hard if you are giving the engine a little too much gas. The interior is still in good shape too, but some vinyl door trim has shrank and peeled off from the heat, and the beige cloth driver's seat is turning black from use. Appearance: Pretty basic interior styling because it is a budget compact sedan, but it was expected. Ownership costs: Gas mileage is good at 20-24MPG, and routine maintenance is cheap unless you need a new fuel filter. I say this because the fuel filter and pump are inside the gas tank, so a mechanic will have to remove the tank and change the filter. Fun factor: Going the governor (112.5MPH) as your 1.8L screams at 6000 RPM on your 3 speed transmission (insane how 3rd gear goes from 45-112MPH). Conclusion: A great economical car for a first time driver or money conscious person.

Performance - Not good. Build Quality - Just needed routine maintenance for the 8 years I owned it. Appearance - It's a family sedan...what do you expect?! Cost of ownership - Good gas mileage, low maintenance costs. Fun Factor - It's just a nice sensible car. I didn't buy it for fun. I would recommend the newer model of Corolla. It's better looking, has better performance, does not cost more than the model I owned, is reliable, and still has good gas mileage.

Dark colors make cars be hotter inside, but the Toyota Corolla's A/C works well. Overall, the car is reliable. The motor is still new even though has been used for a little bit. I had no problem since I purchased the vehicle.

good commuter car. nothing special as far as performance or build quality goes. the hubcaps really make the car stand-out and gives it a sharp look. fun car to drive but not the greatest car to go joy riding in.
