The thing i love most about this car is that reliable.
Even now 7 years later, still works with out a glitch
and we have yet to do any major repairs. The
biggest problem that i've had with the car is when  
a squirrel built a nest in the radiator grill. Its a 1.4
Ltr Petrol engine. Does 0-60 mph in bout 6-7
seconds. Nothin fancy but the reliability and
comfort is spot on for any car in its class. And it
isnt expensive either. Once i start college i hope to
trick it out with sum after market parts.

Brakes extremely well. Wont take coners at 100
mph but it handles quite well. Its a decent looking
car and looks even better with a body kit.

Pros: Reliable, Roomy,Quiet, Good gas mileage (13 km per litre), realatvly fun to drive
Cons: Not exactly a head turner without a bodykit and custom paint job

Well, there is nothing that upsets me about the car apart from the fact that it only gets upto 110 MPH :( .... way too low for my liking :p Having said that, must say that the singapore model version of the same maker really flies n trust me I mean it when i say dis

Apart from the speed, the car is near perfect in build quality, driving wise, its well balanced at high speeds n doesn't oversteer in the corners...real fun to drive!

Pros: Build Quality & Driving Pleasure are on top of my list
Cons: Top Speed & Acceleration

The 2001 TOyota Corolla was built in a California plant by American workers. A reliable car with a small, but fairly peppy 1.8L VVTI engine, getting as high (from personal experience) as 41 mpg. The paint is in excellent shape, and it's fairly easy to repair. Most components are easily accesible under the hood, or underneath the car. Maintenance and upkeep are typical of any Toyota (tires, oil changes, brakes, etc), with minor need for major repairs.  I've driven this car for about two years, purchased with 80,000 miles, it now has over 132,000 and has only had a Mass Airflow Sensor go bad, but still ran even then (just hard, and idle was rough). Body style was only out for two years, giving it a more unique look. Would make an excellent ricer car, or sleeper.

Pros: excellent gas mileage; easy to maneuver; tight turning radius; sticks to the road
Cons: acceleration isn't the best; small trunk (only able to fit 2 12's and 2 8's); interior is very susceptible to sunbleaching and warping in extreme heat.

Toyotas Are Known For Overbuilding Cars. This One Is No Exception. Great All-around Car.

Economical, dependable, reliable. Probably the best car I've ever owned. Not a sports car by any stretch of the imagination, but has more than adequate power. Averages 33mpg city, 37mpg highway. Not as much fun as my Volvo 740 Turbo, but a nice balance of all categories.

Pros: Economy, cost of ownership.
Cons: Not a lot of interior room, not as sporty looking as others.

It was the best car within the same price range. both performace, build quality and apperance were average (but good enough for me). it was cheap to run, low maintenance. I have to mention that it has a big boot (relevently). Is it fun to drive? I was looking for comfortability and it has done fine for me.

Pros: It's so comfitable to drive this car.
Cons: There are another 500,000 (or more) ppl driving the same one as you do.

I love the reliability, quality, safety, and economy of
my car.   It's stood up perfectly after 140,000 miles,
with proper servicing and maintenance of course.  
It's been easy to mod and fun to drive.  The exterior
I think is the best of all the generations till the
current one, but the interior leaves something to be
desired.  Corollas are some of the best cars on the
road, no contest.  Go to your local dealer and buy
one today!

Pros: Safe, economic, and affordable
Cons: None

White 2001 Toyota Corolla S with black interior and 5-
speed manual transmission. Bought new, and it now has
about 99K miles. Surprisingly fun to drive with good ride
quality. Steering becomes loose at the limits of adhesion,
but feels natural and progressive up to 8/10ths, brakes
feel great, shifter isn't quite Honda snick-snick but still very
easy to operate. Seats are comfortable. Ergonomics are
great, with one notable exception--the three cupholders
are mediocre. The one cupholder in the rear is mounted on
the center console, and is useless--so shallow, drinks will
fly out over moderate cornering or bumps, and in the
front, larger drinks (e.g. medium sized fountain drinks) will
block access to the console and get in the way of the
shifter. Audio system is so-so. Fit is great for the class and
year, finish is about better than midpack, reliability is
stellar--I have not had a single issue that needed a trip to
the dealership, only performed routine maintenance and
accident repairs. And being an economy car, any
maintenance and repairs are cheap. I average about 32
mpg in the city and 38-40 on the highway. Road and wind
noise are moderate. Engine isn't quite BMW I6 creamy, but
it's relatively smooth.

Overall, highly recommended. Fun to drive, cheap and
hassle-free to operate. What more could one ask for?

Pros: Ownership experience
Cons: Stereo, cupholders, handling at the limits

It is good for carring weight, sturdy and could handle some ruff treatment. The toyota wagon have a considerable amount of space for home/business it is a real asset.
I would recommend this vehicle to everyone that cannot afford a pickup but still need to transport anything and still have your vehicle personal use

Pros: Sturdy
Cons: Gas Comsumption
