2006 Toyota Corolla CE review from North America
"I think Toyota still makes good cars, but I just got one of the few that was poorly built"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car had rattling noise at 3000 miles caused by bolt that came loose in door panel. Air fuel sensor seized into exhaust manifold at 5397 miles. Air fuel sensor seized into exhaust manifold at 5419 miles. During test drive check engine light re-lit again for another malfunctioning sensor.
General comments?
This was an OK car until recently. But it seems as though it was poorly built as things are beginning to fall apart and malfunction on it. Since everything is still under warranty, it hasn't cost me anything extra yet. Beyond that it still does get excellent gas mileage and the dealer has definitely tried to get the car back working again. However, after I got my first check engine light at 5397 miles, it hasn't gone off. Everytime they fix something, something else breaks. So, it has been in the shop for the past week as new things break or break again. This is definitely something that I didn't expect from Toyota as my old Ford never had any of these issues.
