2002 Toyota Corolla LE review from North America
"It is a very dependable and reliable car that does what the manufacturer claims"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No trouble at all except I hear some strange noises from under the hood when the engine and/or the weather is cold outside. the dealer checked it three times and nothing was found. I think it's something to do with how the radiator is mounted, when I apply pressure to the radiator the noise stops, when I release, the noise comes back. very strange. the car runs great otherwise. I had to replace the front brake pads at 22K miles, cannot understand why, unless I have been riding the brakes??
General comments?
Runs like a dream, very smooth, quiet, ice cold a/c, has remarkable acceleration for a small car. can cruise on the interstates at 75-80 mph with no trouble.
