Definitely reliable & cheap parts
310,000 miles.. had to replace the alternator & radiator myself but other than that she’s still running lol just make sure to check the oil regularly since it consumes it.Jul 22, 2024

My sister handed down her car when she went off to college and, besides the basic
maintenance every car needs, this car hasn't needed a thing. A slight leak in the hydraulic power steering line is the only problem this 14 year old car has had. It
has run through many 'a tire but it's one of the funnest cars I've ever driven.May 14, 2012

Great catch. Nothing kills these cars... Low maitenance. Great on gas and on overhead ... save on parts because you will not need them... Most components are new or newer, Breaks rotors tires battary ... Handling is responsive. No noises or sqweeksDec 08, 2010

Performance: Reasonably nippy for a 1.6, brakes good, handles good on lowered suspension and 17" alloys.
Build Quality: Very Good, even air con worked well.
Appearence: Sits well on big wheels and low suspension with subtle TRD bodykit.
Cost of Ownership: Cheap to run.
Fun Factor: Lots of fun with very loud exhaust setting car alarms off.Oct 04, 2010

It handled well but had a bit of body roll, the acceleration was brisk, 0-60 in under 10 secs. Nothing went wrong in my 3-4 years I had it. Solid reliable transport with a bit of Zip if you pushed it! Feb 19, 2010

Acceleration nice breaks make a very fun sound when applied. Solid body but colour wears out quickly. Interiors,exteriors are terrible, alot of dust due to off road driving. Gas consumption excellent and maintenace costs low. Manual, i love it.Dec 30, 2008

It runs great and has never given my any major problems, however it is not well put together as all the door handles except one are broken on the inside. It gets about 25 to 30mpg city and 35 to 40 highway. Doesn't have much get up and go. I would recommend this car to someone who doesn't like to spend a whole lot on gasOct 06, 2008

Owned this car for 10 years and nothing has broken. Performs well for a 10 yr old car. I plan to drive it another 5 to 10 years with basic maintenance. Very reliable car. I have heard from other reviewers that the paint is not that great. I would say not so much, my paint is still in very good condition. Jul 10, 2008

Toyota is a really great car actually, especially if you are going to buy a used one! They tend to have noisy heaters though, especially the older they get. And if your car is before 98 you will have a timing belt which needs to be changed around 150,000 km. 98 and up its a timing chain so those last forever.Jun 26, 2008

I kept it for 99,000 miles. It needed major repair, and I traded it in
because my needs had changed and it wasn't worth paying for the work.Jun 15, 2008

Lucy, Corolla, is a previously owned vehicle with a rebuilt transmission. She has been reliable, safe, and gets me where I need to go. Apr 14, 2008

Crap all round... drum brakes at the back, drum brakes!!! Those were used in my mum's first
car.... No power at all, loaded with 5 people and you really have to rev that engine... which
didn't liked being revved...
But i know every detail of it and loved it... Was sad to sell it. But admit it was crap.Jan 15, 2008

upkeep costs. Oct 09, 2007
