Faults:

Nothing has really gone wrong with this car. It is in perfect running condition, except for damage to the components that make up the central console breaking off. Very the cheap interior as that of the VW Jetta.

General Comments:

I bought this car off reviews. I had heard about Toyota and its popularity. I was looking for a fuel efficient car. But instead I got a car that I literally see my gas gauge going down with each KM. I get like 250KM for the tank, driving normally. Gas mileage was better with my 2.5 liter BMW 323i and 2.3 liter Vtec Honda Accord.

Another downside is the very cheap interior; not very durable, you have to be very careful to open the internal pockets. Also very difficult to find a comfortable seating position.

Be very careful how you drive as the handling is poor. Too much body roll. I am very scared to drive this car. Think I will sell it soon.

Faults:

Not much has gone wrong with it all.

General Comments:

Absolutely wonderful car! I owned it since it was new. All I do is change the oil and put in the gas, and I'm up to 134,00 miles and going strong. It's my second Corolla in a row, and I probably will stay with Toyota's from here on in. This car isn't real flashy, it just gets you where you want to go without fail. Very dependable. Great gas mileage. Good deal.

Faults:

Driver's seat seems to be losing shape.

Brakes squeal, but bite is still good.

No major component failure.

General Comments:

Car has proved to be very reliable and just gets on with providing reliable and economical transport.

Nothing about the car is exciting, but it has few faults so I personally don't think about the car as it just always goes and everything works.

Stereo is decent and the space (interior and trunk) is good. The trim is wearing well and cleans easily. The interior is well designed and has an upmarket feel (for its sector).

During 2006 when the fuel prices spiked I was not in a panic as my fuel costs were still reasonable. I suppose the Corolla's excellent fuel economy is one of the reasons for the high 2006 sales figures in North America.

Engine is a bit noisy when cold, but quietens down. Acceleration is OK, but not great.

All in all, a good car that I have no regrets about purchasing.

Faults:

The water drips in the front doors onto the seats on wet days - very annoying.

A lot of brake dust on the alloy wheels even after as little 30 miles.

General Comments:

Great little car. Goes like a rocket and not to shabby at the handling either. Vast improvement on the last generation. Very womanly needs to be beefed up a bit.

Faults:

Nothing so far after three years soon.

General Comments:

The car looks good, handles well, and is as reliable as modern technology can make a car. None finer in this respect. Mileage on highway runs 38-40 mpg. Would have to go to Fantasy Island to get a better car!

Faults:

Nothing to date.

General Comments:

Very reliable car that has not not missed a beat yet. I prefer the high seating position to that of the Civic and was one reason why I chose the Corolla.

My only quibbles are (1) steering wheel does not adjust for reach (rake only) so I find it uncomfortable if I drive more than 1/2 hour as my arms ache. Most European cars I (I lived in Europe for 15 years) have both rake and reach as standard and it makes for a much more comfortable drive.

(2) The A/C struggles to cope with the Toronto humidity (I had it serviced and recharged).

Other than this I have no issues with the car.
