2002 Toyota Corolla T3 review from UK and Ireland
"An ill conceived attempt by Toyota to capture a youth market"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear parcel shelf rattles.
Rear seats rattle and squeak.
Front seats rattle and squeak.
Loose rear view mirror.
Loose driver door trim.
Water leak above front passenger seat.
Windscreen wiper motors creaking.
General comments?
At first glance the car appears to be a well designed practical 5 door medium sized hatch back.
However having lived with the vehicle for 4 months serious design and build quality faults are surfacing.
