2001 Toyota Corolla Type S review from North America
"A fun, peppy car with a sleek look"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong yet.
General comments?
This is a 2002 Toyota Corolla Type S.
This car is great!
The acceleration on this car is crazy. I haven't broken it in yet and I beat my friend's 2002 Toyota Celica GT off the line.
The new 2002 headlights look awesome on this car especially with Super White bulbs.
Turning is excellent. There's this one curve that I could only take at 40 mph in a 1996 Ford Mustang, but with the Corolla I could actually take it up to 75 mph!
I took it back to the dealership twice (once to take out the too-sensitive alarm, and second to see why the brakes had very slight squeaky sound), and both times they topped off my gas. It turns out that the sound in my brakes is normal while I'm breaking it in, it even says so in the car's manual (my mistake).
It's a little hard to fall asleep in the drivers seat, but I guess that's good for those long boring drives to, say San Diego.
