Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Refined and roomy interior, excellent gas mileage and crash test scores, illustrious reliability record.

Cons

Awkward driver-seat position, bland personality, sedan body style only.

What’s new

After a full redesign last year, the Corolla carries over unchanged for 2004.

Edmunds says

A solid economy sedan that many will purchase on the basis of name alone. Next to peers, though, the Corolla offers little to get excited about in terms of price or performance.

Wouldn't own anything else but a Toyota

Laura Minnich, 09/29/2016

2004 Toyota Corolla LE 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

My family of five at one time had 5 Toyota's. We love them all. The maintenance and reliability are superior to any other brands. We currently have two corollas and will drive them into the ground. Great cars for teenagers. Update on 9/30/2019 - We still use this car everyday for commuting. It still has good gas mileage and have not had any mechanical problem at all. The paint is …

2004 Toyota Corolla LE 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

I have had this car for 11 years and 217,960 miles. I drive a lot. This car has never broken down on me and never had any major mechanical issues. I have always gotten the oil changed on time and kept up with things such as new brakes, tires, ect. I have never had any issues with it, and if I could buy the exact same car again I would.

first and best so far

2004 Toyota Corolla S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

This is my first car, the drive is so much fun, the gas usage is so economical, it barely makes me scream for joy, the suspensions for the sports edition are just perfect, the sound system is great, the air conditioner is great, the drive and brakes work just perfect.... I would recommend this car to anyone, anyday. Great car, great value for your money.

Fantastic and Indestructable

2004 Toyota Corolla LE 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5M)

I ordered my LE 5-spd manual (loaded with goodies like leather, roof, etc.), and it has provided 58,000 trouble-free miles. This is the perfect car for someone who needs an A+ commuter car with no trouble. The interior materials are first-rate, and you would be hard pressed to find anything more comfortable or better-appointed at this price. The only issue I had a center console door …
