Window crank on driver's side is slightly off track.
Water slightly leaks into the trunk during severe rain storms.
Car sometimes hesitates when accelerating, but it probably needs routine fuel system service.
No reverse lights.
Bad washer fluid system.
This car is reliable. I can trust this car to drive from New York to California.
I pass a lot of other cars on the freeway with my car. Some drivers don't even expect to be passed by a 19-year- old 4 cylinder engine car.
The original AM/FM radio had a bad tape player. So I replaced it with a Clarion AM/FM cassette player radio that is also CD changer compatible.
It's starts up with no problem in cold weather.
It will outlive any American brand vehicle.
I got an old American... and it has not had any of those problems.
Since you've only put 483 miles on your Corolla, I don't think you've actually drove it from New York to California
or vice versa. So how do you know that you can trust it for that trip?
An awful lot of crowing about how great this car is and how it will outlive anything else... when the reviewer has owned it less than a month and put less than 500 miles on it.
I bought my first toyota corolla in 1999 for 500 dollars. i drove it 100 to 200 + miles a day in los angeles. i went from 146,000 miles to 285,000 miles in a little over two years. the car was smoking a little and I would have kept driving it, but ran over a center island divider and it peeled my tranny open. wasnt worth it to repair it. i didn't take care of that car, but it took care of me. now I have another corrla 1986 this time.142,000 miles on it. bought it for 300 dollars +60 dollars to pass smog +30 dollars for front left bearings. total 390 dollars and this one I'm going to take better care of. mid eighties corollas the best cars I ve owned.
