Pros: Extremely reliable. Excellent mileage. Low maintenance costs. Cons: No rear window defroster. Hard to install CD players. The Bottom Line: Traveling by Toyota has been trouble free for me!
I know it's 2004 and my no frills, dark blue Toyota Corolla is now seven years old, but I've gotta share my opinion with my fellow Epinionators... this has been one great little car to own! I bought this car used back in 1998, when it had a mere 15,000 ...

Pros: Practical, reliable, efficient and respectable looking. Cons: Your mechanic will make a lot less money off you. The Bottom Line: Buy this car, you'll never regret owning a Toyota.
What to say about a car that you buy and then forget about? When I bought my little Champagne beauty in 2002, she was 5 years old with pretty high mileage (153,000kms) but she was clean, well maintained and knowing the history of the car, the mileage ...

I bought my Toyota Corolla (CE) three years ago in June. I just renewed the licensee and intend to keep it many years more.
At the time I bought it, I just had a very bad experience with my old car Hyundai Excel (I wrote a review on it...

Pros: Iron-clad reliability Cons: Expensive to repair
Toyota dealerships are the pits The Bottom Line: Great little car whenever you need it.
I purchased my beloved Corolla Feb 2001 from the anti-christ of car dealerships, Neil Toyota of Lynbrook, NY. I was desperate for a vehicle to drive to work on my newly minted license. After signing my life away to Toyota Motor Finance, I drove my little ...

Pros: Reliable, Great Mileage, Toyota Name Cons: Expensive, Noisy, Small
I bought a 1997 Toyota Corolla CE brand new back in 1997. At the time, I was doing a lot of travel for my job, and needed something dependable and good on gas.

Pros: Looks good, drives good Cons: could use more leg room in back
For years I had heard about the benefits of owning a Toyota Corolla, a car that could last a lifetime if properly maintained. My daughters had owned them and couldn't say enough about how great they were. Never having owned a Toyota before I took their...

Pros: Painless, low-maintenance, cheap to own, pleasant & fuel-efficient Cons: Unthrilling, poor mirror placement, seat positions not great, mediocre pick-up The Bottom Line: Well built, affordable, liveable, personable, handling, reliability, fuel economy without feeling like a hunk of junk.
I love cool cars as much as the next person, don't get me wrong.
I've driven a Maserati bi-turbo, an early 4 speed Golf GTI, a Buick station wagon, a Passat wagon, and various cars in between. But I was extremely happy with my 1997 Toyota...

Pros: - Good city car
- Ample trunk space
- Backseat fit two adults comfortably Cons: - Acceleration sucks
- hill climbs in winter conditions
- Fogs up easily
- Noisy The Bottom Line: Great, reliable car for someone looking for good value!
This car was made for people who don't mind a less-than-flashy ride, but who want a car that will put in the miles without a hitch! I got mine about two years ago after I totaled my previous car. I was still in school, and money was not exactly flowing ...

Pros: Of course, reliable, good ride for a compact. Cons: Toyota Dealers, price or seldom needed repairs The Bottom Line: If you plan on using it for highway driving, either get the 5 speed or 4 speed Auto and the 1.8 Liter model.
I purchased a used 1997 Corolla CE ( it seems Toyota only offered 2 models in 1997, this one and the DX, which comes standard with the larger 1.8 liter engine ) because I was replacing a leased Maxima. I was actually looking for a Honda Civic, but they...

Pros: price, dependability, gas mileage, look & style Cons: leg room is slight, no sunroof on mine and option is high for that
I got my Corolla in July of '97 because my Buick century finally died. I was so tremendously heartbroken, that I didn' t even want to look at a car, at last I did, and boy am I glad! I really don't know where to start! I had a 2 year lease--they gave...

Pros: economical, very reliable, good reputation, good mileage Cons: my model is the basic, so it has few luxuries The Bottom Line: Great car, very modest and good deal for your money, run well, few/no problems, reliable
I bought this car because we desperately needed a new car that wouldn't break the bank. The Toyota Corolla was it. We bought it new in 1997. It was the basic basic basic no-frills model. Power-nothing and no radio system. It sounds sad but it's all we...
