2000 Toyota Corolla Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2000 Toyota Corolla find it to be a dependable and fuel-efficient car, with many praising its reliability and low maintenance costs. Many drivers appreciated its good gas mileage and long lifespan, often sharing experiences of reaching high mileage without major issues. On the downside, drivers noted that it's not the fastest vehicle out there, and some had concerns about limited legroom and performance in various conditions."
Likes: Economy (40+ highway / 30+ city mpg), handling, minimal maintenance, low TCO, power/weight ratio, low turning radius, super-reliable, comfortable, decent moderate looks Dislikes: Bad weather handling, big people may suffer, limited cargo space, may feel light during high winds, non-luxury Overall, high build-quality. Fuel economy is a massive plus. I have driven Priuses - but believe me, if you are driving on highways, you would rather drive the Corolla than the Prius. I have driven this car on really long drives - upto 10-12 hours at one go (with only gas fill up in between) and nothing seems to bother the car. This car has been so reliable for me that I would hate losing this car to a newer (probably better) car even if I can afford the latter. I have had to spend little maintaining the car - changed a battery, AC fluid and belt once each - thats about it and then the oil changes every 5k miles. I feel that any new consumer who is looking for a car has a great choice in the biggest selling car in history.
July 12, 2011This is a really great car. It gets great gas mileage and is really good in the snow. It's also nice and small so it's easy to parallel park it. The only thing I don't like is that it's 4 cylinders so it takes a lot to get up the mountain that I happen to live on.

November 17, 2007Got this car from dealer after it's been in a crash (they did very good job, not a trace outside), it had 141,000 miles. Right after that I drove it from Chicago to Connecticut and back without a single issue (though dealer recommended to change rear brakes, and front tires were bald - I took care of it later). I already have it for a year, no issues provided regular oil change. I drive about 20,000 per year; I tend to believe those who say you can put 400,000 miles on Corolla (if you drive that long:), unlike in American cars. Yes, it is a bit slow on acceleration, but then I leave everybody behind. Stylish look in teal color, put nice chrome looking wheel covers from Walmart, looks great.
August 11, 2010The estate model is exceptionally spacious. Its 1.8 liter 4 cylinders are enough to put you in good speed, both straight line and cruising. The braking is reliable and works well in wet conditions (after a bit of pumping action).
June 25, 2010Japanese engineering! It is one of Toyota's best products. 4 adults feel comfortable inside. Extremely reliable - never breaks. I get 33-35 MPG in town and 35-40 Highway MPG! Although it is affordable, it's price isn't going down, so you won't lose lots of money when you decide to sell it.
April 7, 2008It's a reliable car that is finally starting to fall apart. It has served us well. Never left me stranded, 28mpg, always starts right up. No flash, bland styling, cloth seats are hard to clean. Overall the car is good.
June 1, 2013For a 9 yr old car it runs pretty damn good. fuel consumption is very ok for the age of the car considering its A/T. It's all stock inside and out except for the rims which i got from a corolla altis. ride and handling is ok. it only has 61000++ kms mileage on it. rides like new. maintenance wise parts are available and price is very ok. downside? leg room could use a little bit more tho the boot is very spacious.
July 9, 2009Toyota Corolla 1.6 SR VVT-i I've owned this since Jan'04. When I bought it, it was totally standard. Engine performance is good, assisted with Veriable Valve Timing and a 6 speed transmission (put it this way it surprises a lot of people off the lights!) The handling left a lot to be desired, so the suspension has been upgraded which has just transformed it. I love driving the car now, its very satisfying after a long days work too drive home in. A few body mods have also been done. 17'' Team Dynamics GTO alloy wheels, TTE side skirts and front spoiler complete the styling. This is the longest I've ever owned a car, I just can't bring myself to sell it. Maybe its because its as rare as rocking horse whats name, and I know I'll regret it one day. If I do then it'll be for something equally as rare or iconic.
January 5, 2008What the?! Another Toyota?! Well my office moved and my commute increased, so I had to downsize to save gas. Still no complaints. Never any maintenance issues, comfortable for a small family, reliable, safe, and affordable to own. Two more words.
