At 70K miles the automatic transmission broke down on the freeway as my family and I were on vacation 100 miles from home. Excluding a large tow and car rental bill the transmission cost over 2300 dollars to fix.

The "check engine" light lit shortly after the transmission repair was done. The computer code refers to an emissions problem. The warranty mentioned that the emissions system is covered for the first 100K miles, but the Toyota Dealer Service Department said that only the catalytic converter is covered. And the converter checked out to be working properly.

At 45K miles the brake pedal went to the floor as I was braking down a steep hill. I had the brakes checked out and no problem was found. I had the brake pads replaced at 50K miles and started noticing a pulsing pedal shortly after words. I learned to live with it.

The interior light for the shifter console is intermittent. I have to wiggle the shifter handle to get the light to turn on.

The car sometimes does not start when the shifter is in "Park". I have to put the selector into "neutral" to start the car.

General Comments:

The car is not the greatest handling. Any slight breeze and car will sway.

The road noise has increased greatly after I reached 45K on the odometer. I assumed new tires would quiet things down, but it has not.

At around 45 mph the transmission shifts gears. Trying to maintain this speed has the car shifting up and down continuously.

Nothing major simple things like brakes wipers stuff that needs to be replaced on every car.

General Comments:

The cassette player / stereo sucks and the a/c is poor, must be a toyota thing because the freon is fine, I test drove another Corolla of the same year and it had lousy a/c too. You know this the most boring generic car I have ever had in my life its so plain, even the upgraded models are boring looking. The newer ones look much better and up to date. Even though this car has not given me a minutes trouble Its getting traded for something a little more exciting.

So far, the only problem that I've had was the seat belt light started flashing constantly at about 60,000 miles. Also, the seats tend to stain even just from sweating on them (they are light gray).

General Comments:

This car is amazing, it turns on a dime and can blow just about anything off the line. I love the way it handles around town, but it isn't particularly comfortable for long trips. I haven't done service very religiously on this car, but still absolutely no problems. The car seat for my three year old fits great and is easy to get in and out.
