2002 Toyota Corolla Ascent Wagon review from Australia and New Zealand
"Brilliant little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers door check starp worn at 300000kms.
General comments?
One of the most reliable and cheap to run vehicles ever.
Over 300000kms with not one oil or coolant leak, only ever required services, tyre's and brakes.
Gets over 100000kms on brake pads.
Owner is mechanic and serviced vehicle for fleet since new.
Very durable interior and comfortable enough on long trips.
