The Toyota Corolla has the highest reliability of any car i've ever driven. This model in particular has run for 30 Years and is still going!!! For a young driver it is safe and shall get you from A to B without a hassle but, it wont get you there and 100mph. However the Fuel Economy, Maintenance, Registration and Insurance costs are very good for a first car buyer and i strongly recommend this carr for first time drivers and/or young drivers
October 30, 2011I LOVED THIS CAR!!! it was the first car I ever owned and it was awesome, the best car you could have. However, I was involved in a car accident and lost my little love car. I miss it so much, but I guess everyone misses there first car. Nothing will ever replace that car, it was the greatest. Toyotas are good cars!
March 16, 2007I don't like the American bumper they are too long,I prefer the Japanese type. The braking system is good when I upgraded it.yes its a fun car to drive especially when I am going side way. When going side way it really shows how well it handle.

May 5, 2010It has lasted 31 years, and I think it will last another decade. With routine maintenance, the car surprises all passengers with better-than-expected acceleration and the maneuverability through traffic. A fun weekend car, but not expected to cross the country. Don't count on a spacious back seat, overall you'd be amazed at the durability of this car.
September 2, 2008Not very fast, it's old, but I like how it looks, and I think as I improve some of the parts it should be quite enjoyable to drive. I've had to replace/fix some things that have worn out, but all in all, it's worked well for me.
October 17, 2009A great car in these times of high gas prices. The electric carb is a low point of the vehicle although it is flawless when woking properly.
December 21, 2007I like it and have owned it for ten years. But am having starter problems possibly in wiring. Everything works can jump it but won't restart if turned off.
May 31, 2008Bought the car for $1,200 used, put 80K miles on it and sold it for $600. The RWD worked well in snow, got good mileage, and was relatively easy to keep running despite the fact that it had a million miles of vacuum lines that leaked that made diagnostics a PITA. That being said, it was a great little car for its intended purpose.
February 11, 2008i love this car. it makes every thing real nice and smooth. I love driving this car. the steering wheel is hard thoug. other than that i love everything thing about the car. it needs a paint job. very nice
November 24, 2009What was initially a real nana-mobile has been transformed into a fire-breathing nana-mobile with an engine transplant (4AGZE) and a bunch of other suspension and performance modifications. Old-skool Corollas rock!
