2004 Toyota Corolla CE review from North America
"Good value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has a rotten egg smell (sulfur) when the engine is cold. I've read it's a rampant problem for this model.
Other than that not much has gone wrong.
General comments?
This is a good car. It's very fuel efficient. I average about 8L for every 100km or about 35mpg in mixed driving.
Interior is very ergonomic except for steering wheel being to far.
The engine has good power for everyday driving, but is a bit noisy, even when idle. Don't believe what the magazine say.
Speeds over 120k/h makes it a bit twitchy.
