by thejmfc
Mar 25 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Economical, Reliable, Fun to Drive
Cons: Somewhat Buzzy
The Bottom Line: I would recommend a Corolla to anyone in the market for a compact car. When compared to the American compact cars of the time, there is no comparison.

My wife and I have owned our Corolla DX for around 6 months now. We bought it with 170,000 miles on it, and have added 6,000 of our own. So far, it has only impressed us. This car gets better mileage in the city than many cars get on the highway. On ...

I received this car as a gift from my parents in 1990 when I was 20. At the time, I was very happy to have a new, reliable car after a horrible experience with a used Chrysler LeBaron GTS. After 14 years this week, I can proudly say that this car is ...

Jan 25 '00 - Updated Jan 27 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Reliable, solid
Cons: Light and weak for snow and mountains.

For 8 years, we have had a 1986 Chevrolet Nova, which is the same as a Toyota Corolla (that year, they started making the models in collaboration). The car has been extremely reliable considering it's low cost and low maintenance.

As long as...

Cons: Plastic interior components may come apart under stress
The Bottom Line: What can you say about a car that lasts longer than most marriages?

by Sharkfin68
Oct 14 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Indestructible
Cons: Excursions and Expeditions look even bigger from down here

I know, I know, most people wouldn't call a Toyota Corolla a tank. It's not big, it's not heavy, but it's solid. My one is a 1979 model I picked up nearly two years ago for $300. Since then, I've had more than 30,000 miles out of it, and spent nothing on...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Reliability, good mileage (30-35 MPG), well-engineered
Cons: A bit small inside, automatic transmission robs some of the power

I traded in a black 2-door Nissan Sentra on this Toyota 6 1/2 years ago because we needed a four-door car for kids, and I had always heard about how legendary Toyotas were for reliability. Talk about reliable! I am now approaching the 200,000-mile...

Pros: It has 4 wheels and goes from point A to B. Most of the time.
Cons: Where shall I start??
The Bottom Line: Good Reputation, Terrible Follow-thru

Around my 17th birthday, my parents decided that they would shell out $5500 to get me a car they thought would be dependable. Our car of choice was a 1990 Toyota Corolla, only 7 years old at this point and sporting about 85,000, we figured it would be a...
