2000 Toyota Corolla 4 Dr LE Sedan
Review
Our car started burning oil after just 4 years of owning it. We kept taking it back to the dealer with no luck on getting it fixed. We just kept putting oil into it every week. Then the motor went at 212,000. We were shocked. We will never buy another Toyota again after what we went through.
Favorite Features
Nothing.
Suggested Improvements
Make sure the motor doesn't burn oil.
I got rid of it!

2000 Toyota Corolla 4 Dr CE Sedan
Review
I purchased Corolla on the basis of staunch quality history. Unfortunately, I got nothing but issues. No Kidding! Here they are: Exhaust manifold flange gasket, all 4 power window motors, rear engine main seal, instrument cluster lights went out, inner tie rod, and huge vibration at 65mph. Yes, the car never got me stuck on the road, but I think I'll stick with other more reliable quality vehicles out there.
Favorite Features
Only gas mileage was good. I should say reliability, but I can't considering the issues I faced.
Suggested Improvements
Quality of components. They don't make 'em like they used to!

2000 Toyota Corolla 4 Dr VE Sedan
Review
This car has 220,000 miles on it and consumes tons of oil. Weekly it will "use" 2 qts. of oil. It doesn't leak, it doesn't smoke... so where does it go? I just refill it and go. This car is stout and handles very well except in the snow. 220,000 miles and it is still strong. I just have to buy stock in an oil distribution company. Nothing beats Toyota!
Favorite Features
Gas Mileage, reliability.
Suggested Improvements
Overdrive and anti-lock brakes standard.
Disappointed

Review
I bought this car new because I have always heard about Toyota dependability. Gas was never 30 mpg as advertised. I have had problems with the oil. Several times, the oil light would not be on but when I checked it or the oil was changed, nothing showed on the stick. I have had the engine checked several times but they did not detect any leak. Finally, someone determined the valve cover gasket was leaking. Now I have had the valve cover gasket changed several times to no avail--I put in oil almost every time I use it. Also inside handles on all 4 doors have broken off. I have owned some pretty old cars, but never had all the door handles break off. I would not buy it again.
Favorite Features
No favorite features. Not many features on a VE model.
Suggested Improvements
Awesome

Had it 3 years with no problems. Just a great reliable car. It shakes a little on the highway, but no maintenance on this baby.
