2005 Toyota Corolla review from UK and Ireland
"In general quite a bland car which doesn't have much to boast about"
General comments?
I only had this car for about 6 weeks as a hire car until my company fiesta arrives (now driving a Honda Civic).
Although I can't give anything detailed about the car I thought I would at least share my thoughts.
The looks of the car on the outside are quite plain, but the front end isn't too bad, inside its very bland and basic (I had the mid range model), things seemed very cheap and tacky including the silly location of the steering wheel controls for the CD Player.
The car at speed (over 70) is quite scary and actually starts to wobble slightly, in doesn't hold the road to well also.
Unfortuantely it was a petrol Automatic with just under 20,000 on the clock (I added about 2,500) and it absolutely guzzles petrol, 350miles for the light to come on compared to my 550miles Xantia.
