Toyota Corolla

"The handling is really great. Very easy to maneuver in all kinds of traffic, conditions. Very easy to parallel park, and U-turn. The acceleration is also very good especially for such a small economy car."

"Acceleration and handling very satisfied with. Road noice is the only criticism I can have."

"It suites me well"

"About the same as my comments about the 2004 - although the 2000 accelerates a bit faster [less weigh and looser engine]."

"Very reliable"

"Exc for 20 yo car. Put in a new clutch recently, drives like new almost. For a manual drive small car, all aspects are good to excellent."

"Obviously, I don't drive long distances. In city traffic this car gets me where I have to go. No phone, no special features. Does well in my suburban Chicago conditions."

"The overall reliability of the 2000 Corolla!"

"Reliable"

"Was great until moisture got into computer systems, now she delays on acceleration."

"Loss of power during acceleration when engine is cold. Acceleration is much better if I shut the engine off and re start. purchased 2000 Toyota Corolla with 160,000 miles on it."

"I get a check engine light almost yearly with nothing actually wrong but it cost me $100.00+ to verify that nothing is really wrong but the light has to be extinguished or it won't pass the mandatory emissions rest. otherwise the car has been quite good to me."

"Handling is NOT Corvette-like, and it a bit too soft, meaning dips in the road, especially in any curved sections, is a bit disconcerting at times."

"This car just goes, it's the best."

"This car was a terrific value. I knew the previous owner- a timid driver who was fanatical about regular servicing. We got it for $2K with 24.000 miles on it."

"Pro ride is good (not too "soft" not too hard con for 69 year old - hard to get out of"

"(Actually, a '95 station wagon) Above all, RELIABILITY. After 230000 miles, it still has the original clutch, manual transmission, and engine (except for timing belts and a new starter). And CONVENIENCE: as cyclists we can put our two bicycles in the back without removing any wheels. The only bad thing is a long-term, persistent thirst for oil - better than a quart per 1000 miles - but oil is much cheaper than an engine job. As long as it runs, we'll keep it. It's almost an antique!"

"Small car, purchased used with over 200K miles. I wasn't expecting much and didn't get much. The car has a small interior. Not an option for trips longer than 2 hours."

"The seats are comfortable but the ride is a little rough. The car has great acceleration and handling, but there is very little shock absorption."

"Given that the car is 20 years old, it's a bit noisy. The ride is exc for car this age, ditto mileage. The seats could be higher, I am 5'4", a common problem for me."

"Tires are "off" size. Hard to find."

"A/C not functioning"

"excessive road noise. not all that loud but the cabin could be quieter. seats are o.k. for about the 1st hr. -1/12 hrs.. heating & air conditioning have been very good to me."

"For a "budget" smallish car it affords decent, though not exceptional, comfortability"

"My only complaint is road noise. It would be great if it were quieter."

"good gas mileage and reliable"

"The Toyota have consistently been an excellent value and I have stuck with it since I got bummed with a Buick back in the 70's/80's."

"Have had good experience with car. Low maintenance. Good on gas mileage. Nothing fancy."

"No major repairs for two years. Only complaint is colored light on dash has stopped working and trip mileage on odomomoter stopped. Very miner."

"Just a terrific car."

"We have hardly spent any money on repairs other than routine maintenance. Remarkable considering the odometer shows over 225k miles."

"This car hardly ever needs repairs--maybe partly because it has such low mileage but it is the greatest car we've ever owned."

"Got it from a friend for $1k, which is probably below market value, but it has some quirks like the engine failing to accelerate on demand randomly."

"My car is actually a 1999 but you don't go that far back. I performed all the scheduled maintenance at the proper time. I did have a problem with the driver's belt buckle breaking. All in all it is a great car and it's still on the road and I would buy it again."

"I believe the Toyota Corollas are some of the best cars out in the market during the 1997 to 2003 time period since they were ahead of other cars with regards to mileage and the price you paid for the cars."

"Highly reliable and cost efficient"

"This car has been a real trooper, lasted 15 years and still counting. A/C still working after 15 years, unlike my previous car (Sentra) where the A/C failed after 8 years. No major problems in all of these years, impressively trouble-free and reliable."

"This car has Never given us any problems, just regular maintenance. We drive both our Corolla's (2000 & the 2014) highway and city to get the best gas mileage, we get 42 MPG on both cars."

"Its been through 5 family members and has come back to us, and it still performs very well."

"We had a mechanic check it out and he was surprised to find nothing wrong with it. The car has since had the handle on the driver's side break completely. My daughter figured out a way to rig it so it's, no problem."

"This car may eventually fall apart around you, but it will continue to run longer than just about any other brand. It is excellent reliable and affordable transportation."

"Aside from staying on top of maintenance and replacing things that wear out like brakes, struts and hoses, I have never had any problems with this vehicle in the 16 years that I've owned it."

"Very inexpensive to maintain & keeps on "going!""
