2000 Toyota Corolla SE review from UK and Ireland
"A fine car, but not fault free"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch release bearing became noisy after 9000 miles. It was replaced under warranty.
The clutch has always juddered.
The brakes became squeaky at 3000 miles, but cured by a service.
I had trouble starting it once after running the engine a couple of times briefly and then leaving it for a day. Maybe it flooded.
General comments?
I have always been a fan of Toyotas and this is a fine car. However it's not as well built or niggle free as the previous Japanese built Corolla I owned.
It has never let me down and is superior to any European car I have owned. I will definitely consider buying another and recommend this model to anyone who wants good honest A to B transport.
