2003 Toyota Corolla LX review from North America
"Major disappointmet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
By end of second year neither door could be opened with the key.
The trunk release doesn't always work and the trunk key frequently gets stuck.
In the third year I noticed the driver side door gasket was crumbling.
Less than 5 years old when I discovered the little metal flap in the gas filler tank was gone.
General comments?
The front seats are too soft, causing fatigue and backaches on trips.
The rear post is huge, limiting visibility.
The right door mirror is too big and makes it hard to see in a right turn.
