Have had this car for 19 years. It was bought in 2001 with only 19 miles on it. It now has a little over 200,000 miles. Most I’ve paid in repairs is around $500. Keep the oil change, change tires when you need to and she’ll do right by you. The only issue I have with it is, the oil has to be constantly changed. Would fix it but I’ll be buying a new one soon. My sister told me one day that my car didn’t owe me anything. She was right.

I just totaled this car on 12/15. The car looked terrible (with damage on 4 sides). The state trooper called it a rollover but it was more of a toss around. I impacted at least 3 different times before I stopped. The car landed on the drivers side and I still can't figure out why it did not land on the roof. I walked away sore and with a bruise on my leg. The state trooper(with 20+ years experience) was amazed that I did. This car has truly proven itself in a real world crash... car has truly proven itself in a real world crash....

I bought my Corolla in 2009 with just under 72k miles on it. I had a few issues at first but had it VERY thoroughly inspected (every nook & cranny) and found out the issue (the rear brake drums had never been turned), fixed it, and haven't had a lick of trouble since. The car currently has 117k miles on it and runs like a dream. It had it's first tune-up last summer and that improved the mpg by 4, so now it gets about 36 on the highway. I plan on driving it until it finally dies. It's economical, reliable, mechanically sound, and is just an all-around great car!
This generation Corolla is a tank

This generation Corolla is a tank, I actually own 2 of them, one I purchased brand new in 01 and the other I purchased used in 08, both have never given me any issues. Stock engines and trans but other then maintenance items they are solid!
