Faults:

There's a high pitched squeal coming from the dash at high speeds every now and then.

Hubcaps cracked all around.

Brakes needed replacing (still had original pads)

General Comments:

Car has a surprising amount of pep for its size.

I'm 6ft. tall and it is surprisingly comfortable.

Good gas mileage.

Trunk is big for a small car.

Definitely wish I had power locks/windows.

AC unit gets damn cold.

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

Car has been excellent. Drives like a dream, gives you 110 miles per hour or up to 42 miles per gallon.

People have no right to complain about this car.

Easy to park, acceleration is excellent.

Stopping is good, not a hard car to drive.

Seats up to five, decent trunk, rear seats drop down.

I just finished a 4000 mile vacation in this car without one bit of trouble.

With gas over $4.00 a gallon, you'd have to be crazy to not love it.

Faults:

The center console broke within the first 6 months that I had the car.

The carpet below my driving foot wore through from basic use. Like there is a hole there now, from just shifting my foot from gas to brake and so on.

My driver side window recently came off the track and now won't go up or down and makes a horrible metallic thumping sound in my door whenever I tried to use it.

The air filter often smells of dirt and debris even though I have it changed every time Jiffy Lube tells me to.

The strip below my driver side rear door came off after less than a year.

General Comments:

It would be a cool car if you bought it used and got all the kinks out of it, but I would never recommend buying this car new because of the problems I have had with it. Gets decent gas mileage, and the tires are pretty good.

Faults:

By end of second year neither door could be opened with the key.

The trunk release doesn't always work and the trunk key frequently gets stuck.

In the third year I noticed the driver side door gasket was crumbling.

Less than 5 years old when I discovered the little metal flap in the gas filler tank was gone.

General Comments:

The front seats are too soft, causing fatigue and backaches on trips.

The rear post is huge, limiting visibility.

The right door mirror is too big and makes it hard to see in a right turn.

Faults:

Nothing!!!

We bought the corolla new in 2003. I own a 4 runner with more than 250,000.00 miles on the original motor/tranny that still runs great so Toyota was my first choice. we bought the base model.

Pluses- 93k on the car and it looks/runs/drives like new.

Zero problems with this car. gas mileage is unreal- 44 mpg highway at 70mph with a/c on. car has plenty of power and rides well given its size. amazing amount of room inside for a small car.

We've replaced 2 tires and the front brake pads- that's it!!!

Minus- this car is not for big guys- at 6' 2" I don't really fit behind the wheel comfortably. since my wife drives this car it's not an issue.

This car explains why Toyota will take over the auto industry- quality! I'm certain this car will go past 200k with no problems.
