not one thing I don't have to fix anything the brakes and ac is good. the car did need a motor after 270,000 mile because I was using a quart of oil every 600 miles. I bought a engine off E-bay with 78,000 miles and had it installed at a butcher shop off Shields Blvd called GT motors and car sales. they destroyed my transfer case by cross threading the bolts I ended up replacing the transmission they did not pay to have it replaced.Apr 17, 2015

I have owned this car for about 3 years now. When I bought it I just needed a car to get around and did not have the finances to afford anything more expensive but the amount of money that I have sunk into it must be 3 times the cost of the car. I am so happy to get rid of it in a month when I graduate college and can afford a newer car.Apr 15, 2015

I bought this car new in 2001 and have been driving it for 8 of those years with no payments. Quality is generally good. I have had to make a few repairs but nothing major or more than $1,000. Good gas mileage for its age.Feb 20, 2013

the acceleration braking and handeling were all very good for a JDM car. the car was a very sturdy car when it lasted. it was very cheap to maintain. this car is very fun to drive with its touchy gas pedal and quick exceleration.Dec 26, 2011

One of light weighted car, and maintenance cost is low. I think, it's a long lasting car, the look is good, it's bit old now as so many cars are in market but it was competitive during it's time. fine car Nov 01, 2011

Best little car I have ever driven. Gets great highway mileage (35mpg+). Good looking, white, one owner. New tires, new brakes, no major body blemishes. Good for in-town or highway driving. Even on long trips it is comfortable enough. No major squeeks or rattles.Jun 28, 2011

Performance - handles great, sharp acceleration and handling. AC is very cold. Solid, dependable car. Consumer Reports rates it excellent and a top-rated older car to purchase.
Build Quality - no leaks, squeaks, or rattles. Uses a little bit of oil, catalytic converter should be replaced if passing emissions test is required.
Cost of ownership - gets great gas mileage. Will need regular maintenance.
Fun Factor - Yes. It is cute and sporty and has a sunroof that works.

Bonnes performances étant donné la légèreté du chassis. Avec des bons pneus et des bons freins les résultats sur la piste sont impressionnants. Super fiable et très peu coûteux à entretenir. Sans doute le plus beau modèle de Corolla, mais la qualité d'assemblage et le confort laissent à désirer. Plusieurs bruits de craquements et infiltration d'eau. Les sièges sont plutôt inconfortables dans les longs trajets.Jun 11, 2010

trim is 'terra', european market. its look isn't breathtaking but the build quality is very good, and being a toyota it is also very very reliable. try searching 'corolla ad trap' on youtube and you will get the picture... 1.4l, 97bhp, that i've got is no racer but it will cover good distance with not so much fuel... around 7l/100km, and you convert it to MPG... the acceleration isn't bad but you need to keep it in very high revs to make the most of it, and the handling is not very sporty either, it feels very numb and doesn't give any feedback. comfort is quite ok.Dec 09, 2009

I've had tremendous problems with my corolla. I have always
gotten the oil changed, maintained it, and taken great care of
it but it was completely fallen apart on me. It's been through
3 power window motors on the passenger side, 3 door
handles on the driver side, 2 air condition recharges, and
now, my engine is converting oil into soot and burning
through oil like crazy. This car is not everything that it is
cracked up do be. Overall, the build quality is OK. I have
found a of features, like the arm rest/storage console in the
front to be VERY cheap- mine completely broke somehow,
and the front cup holders are cheap. The seats are decent,
although the back is cramped. It's so boring to drive it
almost puts me to sleep. Overall not a horrible car, but
definitely wouldn't get another one if given the choice. Sep 10, 2009

Is a nice, fun and easy drive. Hasnt needed any repairs since i got it, interior is easy maintenance, fuel mileage is great - with the amount of riving i do a full tank can last me about 3 weeks, full tank = approx 65-70$$. Aug 02, 2009

Love this car. Very economical. Comfortable, easy to drive and has performance when you need it. Fits car seat, stroller and dog no problem. Tidy appearance, like the interior in black. I just need to wash it more. Recommend to buy.Jun 25, 2009

* Performance – acceleration is fair seems to be as powerful as my 1999 Acura Integra, braking and handling are as expected for an entry-level car.
* Build Quality – it hasn't needed repairs since purchasing it, though it has over 170,000 Km. No squeaks, but the shocks are beginning to have rattles.
* Appearance – for an entry-level, base Toyota (not well known for their body styling, especially since the demise of the Supra and Celica) the styling insn't bad at all. Interior styling isn't anything to write home about.
* Cost of Ownership – gas mileage is well above average. I'm not the most conservative driver and I still get 40+ miles to the gallon. Maintenance has yet to become an issue. Everything works just fine, as expected.
* Fun Factor – is this car fun to drive? Definitely, yes! It is not a high-powered beast, but it goes right along and manages the corners quite well.Mar 11, 2009

The car has a 1.6 Liter or 97 CI engine and has a modest 80Kw or 111Bhp but accelerate and handles very well. It has 17 inch rims with 205/40/ZR17 Pirrelli P-Zero Nero tyres. It has a custom rear boot spoiler and a custom exhaust system.Feb 23, 2009

It's a nice car that's is very dependable. Also Toyota is
a very reliable company that will be around when the
others go under or get bough out. Take the American
car companies. This car is fun to drive. It's fully loaded
with a 6 cd changer and an upgraded stereo and
speaker system.Feb 14, 2009

Well, the car needs some new suspension, an alignment, & rotation.
Overall, the car is really (really) durable.
The way the car handles could be better, but I just need some adjustments in the power steering.
This car, I would def recommend, it lasts!
The overall quality of the car is great! Goes for 35-40 miles per gallon!!!!!!!!!!!!!! & the car isn't hard to maintain at all =DSep 20, 2008

Very reliable, low maintainence very good mileage for city driving and motorways even better.
Good shape and a good re-sale value.
Loaded with extra gadgets that one would expect from an expensive car these days. One of the best cars I have used and driven for a while. would recomend to others. very rialable...Sep 13, 2008

I could never be happier with another car. Simply put, this car is worth every penny that was paid for it. Never had to replace anything other than the stabilizer bar, due solely to the harshness of NH winters (frost heaves). The best part of this car is, driven accordingly, it gets 40 miles per gallon. I could not be happier.Sep 09, 2008

It's great on gas, and very low maintenance. It's also easy to drive, is sporty looking, and although it's only a 2002, I still Love my Toytoa!! The only downside is I paid too much for it - I was desperate for a car and they suckered me. Now I"m paying atrocious finance charges and I am 'upside down' as they say so am unable to get a newer car.Aug 04, 2008

Well I was so anxious to get a car when I found "Hoju" that I forgot to think about power windows and door locks. This car did not come with that, so in hindsight I probably should've waited a bit. All in all, the car is very peppy and gets great gas mileage even after 6 years on the road.Jul 28, 2008

I got this car in August of 2001, with 4 km's on it. I've racked up 360,000km's on it and have had VERY little trouble ever, and I can honestly say that I've never given a car more abuse than I have this one. This last august (2007) it came off of a beautiful trip to Vancouver island with no problems at all! Mar 28, 2008

It looks horrible sometimes, but when you get to know it, it really becomes a nice car. It's got reasonable performance(when considering it is a japanese medium range family saloon). It very luxurious in it's class, and amazingly comfortable. Great value for money and very economical (15km/l).Jan 22, 2008

This car is great. Gets around 35mpg on average, pretty good acceleration for a 4 cyl, brakes work great, handles really well, engine is quiet, stock sound system is perfect. Only thing that really bothers me about this car is that it can get whipped around in high wind because its so light.Dec 04, 2007
