2005 Toyota Corolla CE review from North America
"Excellent quality car."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This is a recently purchased, new car, not even a month old yet; therefore, there have not been any major problems.
One concern so far is that one of the screws for one of the mudguards was not screwed in straight.
Another concern is that the first time I turned on the radio, the music blasted out at a high volume and shocked me with it.
Another problem is that when the car decelerates and is just about to come to a complete stop, the engine rumbles, only very, very slightly though.
The last problem is that after a couple times, a CD got stuck after coming out of the CD Player halfway. I had to use pliers to pull it out. Fortunately, the CD player still functions.
General comments?
Excellent car for the price.
Good security for the price.
The accelerator and brake pedals are slightly too sensitive and take a little getting used to.
Excellent car overall.
