What Owners Say

"Heater & A/C are especially good! Very quick to kick in, better than friends' newer, higher end cars! The car is noisy on the road but that doesn't bother me."

Anonymous, WA (2001 Toyota Corolla)

Value

Did you get what you wanted relative to the price you paid?

What Owners Say

"A good used car, very reliable"

Anonymous, NC (2001 Toyota Corolla)

"We paid too much for it at the dealership."

Anonymous, OR (2001 Toyota Corolla)

"This car has been almost entirely trouble-free for almost 200,000 miles. Of the things that failed (interior door handle, turn-light lens cover), they were $7 to $14 and a couple of minutes to fix. I buy cars new, for cash, and drive them into the ground - but this one just keeps going and going."

ALAN F., CT (2001 Toyota Corolla)

"good gas mileage and very reliable"

JOSEPH D., NJ (2001 Toyota Corolla)

"My car has served me well despite daily abuse in RI decrepit roads. Extremely reliable and overall a great little car."

Anonymous, RI (2001 Toyota Corolla)

"the reliability of the vehicle is very important. In seven years it has never refused to start"

Anonymous, NJ (2001 Toyota Corolla)

"The transmission has been problematic- the car has irregular acceleration. Two mechanics offered the following advice: the tranny will eventually need a valve job. We won't do that- we'll ditch the car when that happens."

JULIE N., MA (2001 Toyota Corolla)

"I inherited it from my brother, so it cost me nothing"

DALE C., FL (2001 Toyota Corolla)

Styling

How it looks inside and out

What Owners Say

"Given the age of the car I have begun to have issues with the clear coat peeling on the side exposed to the sun. Some of the interior door/window trim is peeling too probably due to age and heat. But the styling (look) of the car is fine."

Anonymous, NC (2001 Toyota Corolla)

"There's nothing wrong with its styling. It looks like a mini Camry."
