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.
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.
The Nissan Almera is as good if not better than the corolla because they don't burn oil like the VVTI corolla and they are one of the most reliable cars on the road. If I were looking for a good reliable car I would buy an almera over any corolla any day.
