Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Economical, Reliable, Fun to Drive
Cons: Somewhat Buzzy
The Bottom Line: I would recommend a Corolla to anyone in the market for a compact car. When compared to the American compact cars of the time, there is no comparison.
My wife and I have owned our Corolla DX for around 6 months now. We bought it with 170,000 miles on it, and have added 6,000 of our own. So far, it has only impressed us. This car gets better mileage in the city than many cars get on the highway. On ... read more

Around my 17th birthday, my parents decided that they would shell out $5500 to get me a car they thought would be dependable. Our car of choice was a 1990 Toyota Corolla, only 7 years old at this point and sporting about 85,000, we figured it would be a ... read more

I know, I know, most people wouldn't call a Toyota Corolla a tank. It's not big, it's not heavy, but it's solid. My one is a 1979 model I picked up nearly two years ago for $300. Since then, I've had more than 30,000 miles out of it, and spent nothing on ... read more

I traded in a black 2-door Nissan Sentra on this Toyota 6 1/2 years ago because we needed a four-door car for kids, and I had always heard about how legendary Toyotas were for reliability. Talk about reliable! I am now approaching the 200,000-mile ... read more

Pros: Reliability, economical, handles very nicely.

My 1990 Corolla belonged to a friend from around 1992 or so. I know that they have not cared well for the car, but they did have basic maintenance done. I recently bought it from them, and have been amazed at how well it has held up. It has 204,000 miles
