If you get a very good lawyer, you may have a very good case against mother nature. I wish you luck with that. And I also wish you luck with the mustang. little smirk!!!

Yes, obviously there is something wrong with the car when it will only go 30,000 miles between oil changes.
I don't think it's a satirical review as much as someone who knew nothing about cars bought one and thought all that was needed was gas.

Routine maintenance is essential when owning any vehicle. To expect your vehicle to wake you up in the middle of the night because it wants its oil changed is asinine. The better you take care of your care, the better it will take care of you.

I read this review and I don't take it seriously - it should actually be deleted from this site.

Is that guy serious??
This has been my first car I bought it for 4000 back in 05. It has run great, and I had all my oil changes done at the Toyota dealers with no problem. I have a salvaged title, but other than that, it is great condition.
I still own it. I bought another one, a 2001 Inifiniti I30, and I love em both!

Any car needs regular maintnance especially oil changes! hope the mustang can take more abuse then your corolla, but I really doubt it.

Good luck with your Mustang.. You know why the Toyota was first at the rubbish dump? It towed the Ford in!!

Ha ha, I really hope this guy had some time to kill. Like someone else said, clearly this is someone who should be walking instead of driving. My little Corolla DX is a beaut, 13 years old and it drives like a new car. Change the oil, repair or replace the parts that wear over time (in most cases a LONG time) and you have a nice reliable car with excellent fuel economy. It will be funny when he neglects maintenance on his Mustang and ends up paying dearly for it!

I want to see this reviewer's review of his Mustang after he puts 40-60k miles on it. The engine will probably be making noises by then due to lack of oil changes alone, if it is even going by then... If this is a true review, it just shows how good Toyota made these engines to withstand nearly anything!

First... you bought a 6 year old car with 170K miles on it??? That is an average of over 28K miles a year! Floor mats had to be replaced?? The fact that the car lasted as long as it did is impressive. Suggestion: do some research before your next purchase and save up enough $$ before so you can make a better choice!

I hate to beat a dead horse (the Mustang in OP's case), but this person couldn't possibly have made it this far without ever changing the wiper blades! We've all tried to drive our Corollas (or other rides) with the blades that were over a year to 18 months old. Smears all over the windscreen! I drive less than 8k a year now, but change that oil every 4 months so there's fresh oil on the seals. Service the trans every year regardless of mileage, and just did the timing belt/H2O pump cuz I don't remember the interval even though it's non-interference. And flush cooling system every year. THAT review though... I hope it was a joke because I spit my coffee all over my laptop!

Wow! At such mileage covered, the issues you mention are quite negligible. Have you ever tried another brand of car at the same age and mileage? I think the issues you mention are issues of aging reliable mule.
