Unbelievable. Hard to believe.

This is not at all hard to believe. This is the 5th Corolla I have heard of (including one a neighbor of mine had) that literally fell apart before 36,000 miles. Toyota has dropped way down in quality (FAR below the domestics) as is evidenced by the landslide of major problems voiced by Tundra, Camry, Highlander and Corolla owners.

2006 Toyota Corolla 2.0D Saloon 2.0 Diesel

Summary:

Best Selling car in the History - Really Sucks

Faults:

-Ash tray fall down on the first day of purchase and never fixed.

-Electric window for rear right passenger just stopped working.

-Brakes squick a lot when cars moves in first 2 kilometers.

-Stereo system with four speakers, but only two work.

General Comments:

One word. Economical. It's a good saloon car, but its not what you call driving pleasure. Steering is too low even adjusted at highest, but not high enough. Engine is very loud.

Interior is big, but its functional (surprisingly).

Rims are too small (14").

Engine managed to reach 5000rpm in first 2 gears.

Lots of storage spaces and lots of functions are available.

I previously owned a sportage and it was a big mistake. Compared to that it's a brilliant car. But compared to my Honda it Sucks.

I saw a report recently that Toyota is scaling back production worldwide. Their rapid growth rate in production has been done at the cost quality, the very fact there is such high demand for their cars in the first place. They have admitted that their quality and reliability has taken a big hit due to the incredible demand they have experienced. Part of the problem has been they have run out parts at times for one car and used parts from others, which is inherently problematic. I recently bought a new 2006 Corolla and have had three minor problems already. I am worried about issues cropping up going forward. have only put 2500 miles on it so far. If I would have known at the time about their quality issues I would have bought the Civic.
