Never again
This car just couldn't stay on the road, I got my car checked over almost every two months, but it slid around so many bends at 40mph was unreal.
This would have been a completely ideal car, if the handling wasn't so dreadful.

Electrical problems, tracking went off twice, engine stuttering and refusing to rev higher than 3500 rpm several times, rubbers around head lights fell off.
A good all round car, despite pityful performance from the 1.3 4EFE engine the car is fairly nippy due to the 6 speed box with intelligently selected ratios, great handling particularly with wider rubber, parts are almost unbeliveably expensive and really dreadful dealer back up (caught service mechanics speeding in my car).

I think the G6 is the most reliable car I have ever driver. (i own 1 myself) I think its 1.3 engine is very nippiy, with its 6 speed gear box. hold the road like a go-cart and has all the mod cons. I am finding hard to get a kit for my car thou. but other than that, I think it is a good all round car.
Thanx Paul May
Runcorn.
I drive a '98 Toyota Corolla 1.3 G6 and have never had a better car; no problems at all. The rubber that lies around the headlights can be a little tricky, but you only have to keep an eye out for that.
It always starts, from -28 degrees Celsius to +40 degrees Celsius. No problem!!
How expensive are parts for the car? How much are we talking in relation to an alfa?
I own a 1997 G6, and I have had no major problems other than the gearbox has just started to syncromesh when selecting third gear. The car has 95000 miles now and apparently syncromesh is a common problem for this particular model. Other than that, it's well equipped, fun to drive and well built.
Nothing at all.
Bought new August 1997.
After having owned a Fiat Tipo, it is a refreshing change to own a car that is totally reliable. Nothing has fallen off. Apart from the first service I have not had to return to the dealer.
At this stage in the life of the Fiat, it had been returned with faults so often that I was on first name terms with most of the service staff.
While it is still early in the life of the Toyota, I have never previously owned any new vehicle with such high build quality.
