2002 Toyota Corolla GLi review from Israel
"Best small family saloon I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes, they need renewing at almost every service, maybe because it's an automatic with discs front and rear.
I bought this car because of it's reliability, and so far so good.
No rattles or squeaks, in fact the car looks, feels and drives just like it did when it was brand new.
General comments?
Definitely the best most reliable car I have ever owned (I have been driving for 40 years).
Unlike my previous Renault Megane, the engine is very quiet. The seats are comfortable over long motorway trips. I really enjoy driving this car.
The road-holding is excellent, and the performance is quite reasonable for a 1600 saloon, but it could do with a bit more punch when overtaking.
