2002 Toyota Corolla Reviews

I've had tremendous problems with my corolla. I have always
gotten the oil changed, maintained it, and taken great care of
it but it was completely fallen apart on me. It's been through
3 power window motors on the passenger side, 3 door
handles on the driver side, 2 air condition recharges, and
now, my engine is converting oil into soot and burning
through oil like crazy. This car is not everything that it is
cracked up do be. Overall, the build quality is OK. I have
found a of features, like the arm rest/storage console in the
front to be VERY cheap- mine completely broke somehow,
and the front cup holders are cheap. The seats are decent,
although the back is cramped. It's so boring to drive it
almost puts me to sleep. Overall not a horrible car, but
definitely wouldn't get another one if given the choice.

acceleration - ok; braking - excellent; handling - excellent; built quality - no squeaks/rattles; interior - modern but the grey colour is a litlle bit dull; exterior - I like it; it is fun to drive but it is not a BMW. you can buy it.

    *  Performance – acceleration is fair seems to be as powerful as my 1999 Acura Integra, braking and handling are as expected for an entry-level car.
    *  Build Quality – it hasn't needed repairs since purchasing it, though it has over 170,000 Km. No squeaks, but the shocks are beginning to have rattles.
    *  Appearance – for an entry-level, base Toyota (not well known for their body styling, especially since the demise of the Supra and Celica) the styling insn't bad at all. Interior styling isn't anything to write home about.
    *  Cost of Ownership – gas mileage is well above average. I'm not the most conservative driver and I still get 40+ miles to the gallon. Maintenance has yet to become an issue. Everything works just fine, as expected.
    *  Fun Factor – is this car fun to drive? Definitely, yes! It is not a high-powered beast, but it goes right along and manages the corners quite well.

It's a nice car that's is very dependable. Also Toyota is
a very reliable company that will be around when the
others go under or get bough out. Take the American
car companies. This car is fun to drive. It's fully loaded
with a 6 cd changer and an upgraded stereo and
speaker system.

Very reliable, low maintainence very good mileage for city driving and motorways even better.
Good shape and a good re-sale value.
Loaded with extra gadgets that one would expect from an expensive car these days. One of the best cars I have used and driven for a while. would recomend to others. very rialable...
