2003 Toyota Corolla LE review from North America
"Well built and ultra-reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing to date.
General comments?
Very reliable car that has not not missed a beat yet. I prefer the high seating position to that of the Civic and was one reason why I chose the Corolla.
My only quibbles are (1) steering wheel does not adjust for reach (rake only) so I find it uncomfortable if I drive more than 1/2 hour as my arms ache. Most European cars I (I lived in Europe for 15 years) have both rake and reach as standard and it makes for a much more comfortable drive.
(2) The A/C struggles to cope with the Toronto humidity (I had it serviced and recharged).
Other than this I have no issues with the car.
