Re: 2003-2007 Toyota Corolla [matrixcorolla]
Hmm. I had a 1999 that I had until 130,000 miles - NO issues with oil consumption. It used same amount of oil at 130,000 miles as when it was new. I used Castrol GTX 5W-30 dino oil, changed at 4,000 miles or 6 months. Awesome car, never replaced anything except VERY routine maintenance. Original rear brakes when I sold it, put on new front pads and turned rotors around 70,000 ... Read More

Re: Camry vs Corolla [martince]
Corolla is more sporty, better pick up speed, you can take exits at faster speed than camry, its steering wheel is lighter especially compared to Camry 20011 which i rented and drove few days back. I sold my camry 1999 but would say without any doubt it is lighter to drive especially its steering wheel as compared to new 2011 camry. I rented for two weeks toyota corolla 2011 and for ...

Re: Steering Int-Shaft Knocking noise [mantech]
TSB is supposed to cover irrespective whether your car is in or out of warranty. For example, the engine tsb ECM module was out of warranty for most vehicles, they were done. I suggest that you call Toyota right away. If that does not work, you should send a registered letter to Toyota Japan.

Re: My dissatisfaction with the new corolla [giantkiller]
You're probably right with the COTY but only with respect to Toyotas who won it. As far as I know COTY award winners from Honda such as the Civic and Fit were hugely succesful. The Fit is one of the rare cases in which the crtitics voting for the JCOTY and the buying public agreed. The Civic? It's been a forgotten car in Japan - you hardly ever see one in ... Read More

Re: Small car growth and the Corolla [backy]
Toyota's platforms have approximately a 10 yr cycle. This platform is now beginning it's 6th year ( midpoint ). The Camry Gen's 2 & 3 were the same platform; the Gen 4 and 5 are the same platform. The Highlander is in reality the Lexus 300 which first came out in 1999. That platform ended it's 10 yr life this year. 10 yrs is not carved in stone but it's a ... Read More

Re: burning oil [mcdawgg]
My 1999 Corolla has over 214,000 km (133,000 miles), manual transmission, original clutch, and I have been fighting an oil consumption problem for two years.

One dealership told me this consumption was "within Toyota specs", but another dealership never heard that before. They figured it was a carbon ... Read More

Re: 1999 TOYOTA COROLLA FUEL FILTER [ahandley]
perhaps the idle needs adjustment or the vehicle is mis-reading the throttle position (ie you need a new throttle position sensor). i think the engine control unit is supposed to kick up the idle with the A/C engaged. if it's mis-reading the throttle position, it may not be doing so. you may have clogged fuel injectors. i'd run a can of injector cleaner in the car at next fillup (read the ...

Re: 1999 Corolla Starter [milner]
If I were you I'd take it to a Toyota dealership because it's possible that you only need the starter solenoid replaced, not the whole starter motor. If that's the case then it should be under $200 for the repair. A Toyota tech will be able to tell very quickly if that is your problem or not.

I think in 1999 when the current Protege was introduced, it was clearly superior to the Civic and even moreso to the Corolla.

Fast forward four years, the Civic is roomier (and arguably, more stylish) than before, the Corolla definitely is ... Read More

Also, 0-60 time from the manufacturers tend to be on the conservative side. I think they don't push their car beyond the design specifications. That's probably why 0-60 time from car magazines tend to be lower than what's published by the manufacturer. For example, I got the 0-60 time for automatics from one of the car buying guides in Barns and Noble. It stated, and I remember, "While Toyota said corolla ... Read More

It's most probably correct. I have an automatic, and I know that it's offical (from Toyota) 0-60 time is 10.4 seconds in 1999. With the extra horse power in the 2000 corolla VVT-i engine, I would expect an automatic to do it in 10.3 seconds. I don't know the offical 5-spd 0-60 time from Toyota, but typicall a 5-spd manual is about 2 seconds faster than an automatic. So 8.3-8.4 seconds ... Read More
