2001 Toyota Corolla S review from North America
"Great affordable sporty sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I had it in April, I put 32000kms on it and the car had high kms when I bought it.
All I had to buy for it was regular maintenance parts (brakes, spark plugs, PCV valve, air filter, oil etc..).
Other than that, I spent nothing on the car; it's been extremely good to me.
General comments?
I've only had the car for 5 months now, and it had high kms on it when I bought it. Knowing it was a Toyota, I took my chances and got it, and I'm glad I did.
I've put 32000kms on it already within 5 months and it works extremely well. I haven't had one problem yet and really like it a lot.
It handles very well for a 4 door and is very sporty. It also had very good pick up with the 5 speed transmission with the 1.8L VVT-i engine. Gas mileage is also really good.
The seats are pretty comfortable, and I like the interior also, but it does lack some foot room space for back passengers.
Overall it's a great sporty family car.
