  • Corolla Improves With Age

    Sep 19 '03
    Pros: Power, Handling, Gas Mileage
    Cons: Cabin Noise

    Summary: We’re on a mission to find a good replacement for my fiancé’s 㥪 Saturn SC2. While it’s been a decent car over the years, it’s starting to show signs of aging and he’s very tired of owning a 2 door car. So, at this point, we ... read more

    Pros: toyota reliablility and refinement. smooth, luxurious ride. decent engine

    Dec 07 '05

  • Quality and Reliability, meet Blandness and Expensiveness

    Oct 03 '05
    Pros: Reliable, good quality, great mileage
    Cons: Expensive for its class, lacks personality, lackluster power and handling

    Summary: What do you want in a car? This is a question you must ask yourself before considering a vehicle such as the Toyota Corolla. If you want a car with a decent reliablity record to get you back and forth from work every day, and don't mind paying a little ... read more

  • The Perfect Balance of Performance, Comfort and Safety at a budget's affordable

    Apr 30 '05
    Pros: Comfortable, Quiet, and Luxurious at an affordable price, fuel mileage
    Cons: Engine becomes boomy past the 4,000rpm mark, slight tire noise(but barely noticeable though).

    Summary: (Updated- Performance- many things missing) Exterior: 8.5/10 Its simpler, better looking, more dazzling, and sporty. The taillamps look good at night and that LED thing may last long(Maybe the entire life of the car). The Headlamps are the same, but ... read more

  • Great Car for the Price.

    Jan 10 '05
    Pros: Cost Affordable, Highly Dependable, Very rarely breaks down.
    Cons: Not as roomy as I thought it would be.

    Summary: Toyota Corolla My wife and I just bought a Toyota Corolla to replace our Ford Escort. The Toyota has much better acceleration than the Ford Escort, which is greatly needed when you are trying to merge on to I-95. I believe there are drivers that ... read more

  • Not the quality I'd hoped for

    Dec 16 '04
    Pros: Fuel mileage, roomy interior and trunk, resale value
    Cons: RATTLES, RATTLES, RATTLES!!! Some ergonomics. Side airbags extra. Hate to say it, but kinda homely-looking...

    Summary: I bought a 2004 Toyota Corolla LE automatic about 9 months ago, and it has not lived up to the hype; nowhere near. The car has enough dash rattles to infuriate even the most tolerant people. The doors and glovebox occasionally rattle too. I've had it ... read more

  • Utilitarian Transportation at a Premium Price

    Nov 12 '04
    Pros: Fuel Economy, Reputation for Reliability, Fit and Finish
    Cons: Overly Sensitive Brakes, Abysmal Acceleration, UNCOMFORTABLE Seating

    Summary: I just don’t like this car. It’s not bad or unreliable, but it is uncomfortable. Very Uncomfortable. It makes the drive to the store seem longer. I know the Corolla is the most popular car in the world, but that is the reason the competitors ... read more

  • Toyota Sets The Standard

    Oct 13 '04
    Pros: Gas mileage, sporty styling, interior comfort, standard CD player, reliability.
    Cons: A small blind spot.

    Summary: The last review I wrote was on my 1995 Toyota Corolla. Right now the car has 194,000 miles, and continues to run like the day we bought it. Our family loved '95 Corolla, so we decided to check out the new 2004 Corolla when car shopping. We weren't ... read more

  • Toyota delivers yet another reliable car

  • 2004 Corolla CE auto silver

    Sep 28 '04
    Pros: A great value: economy, power, room, and reliability
    Cons: Would be nice to have standard ABS, power doors/windows, side-curtain airbags

    Summary: I bought this car for my wife a few months ago and we've put about 5000 miles on it. I've always recognized the Corolla for reliability and economy, but out first hands-on introduction to the Corolla was in 1997 as a rental car. We were quite surprised ... read more

  • This vehicle is a HUGE let down, maybe it's just me...

    Aug 17 '04
    Pros: Gas mileage, relatively cheap, TOYOTA quality*
    Cons: *vibrating/noisy engine that ticks and does not seem to run "smooth"

    Summary: I bought this probably for the exact same reasons as you, I don't have to make a statement when I drive. I just want a car that will get me to point A, then B and back for millions of miles and then some... This car sounds like the PERFECT pick... Boy ... read more

    Jun 28 '04
    Pros: Handling, ride, economy, price, A/C, sound system
    Cons: Still looking for one. I know there has to be something I won't like.

    Summary: My final update! No problems whatsoever, continued about 42-43 mpg, sold in private sale for $12,850. Yes, we will buy another, but we will add cruise control to the 5 speed. Another short update (10/29/06) With 30,000 miles still no complaints. ... read more

    Pros: LE available in leather, great fuel economy, comfortable ride, CD/tape deck, 2 A/C plugs
    Cons: Plastic wheel covers, limited backseat legroom, no center armrest or pockets for back seats.

    Summary: My first Corolla was a 1987 which I bought (used) in 1997 with about 43,000 miles on it. It was a GREAT little car and I took good care of it. But when it hit 148,000 miles, it was tired and several minor (easily fixable) things started happening to it. ... read more

    Pros: Realiable, Economical, New styling(compared to old models).Accelaring from off the line.
    Cons: Car looks skinny and other drivers may pass you thinking your car is wimpy.

    Summary: I bought a new 2004 toyota corolla from car's direct dot com. See my review on that if you need to. Why did I pick the corolla? I needed a car that I could use on the expressway and could drive me home safely after my night shift. I needed something ... read more
