This car had good acceleration being a 16/16 and not a BZ-R. The Breaking was good I could stop within the dictance on 2 lamp post from a speed of 160khm and the handling was superb, this car could take corners just as good a the cars with the strut suspension. No major repair ever needed no squeaks or rattles. Well as you can see from the pic the exterior was sexy and I did a little thing with the interior, I had installed 2 new bucket seats but the interior was incomplete. The gas mileage & maintenance were a little above average due to the fact that I harrased the car a bit doing a little Drag Racing. I Loved Driving this Levin more than n e thing I wanna kick myself for selling it.

Pros — Sexy, Good Performance, Good Braking, Good Handling and its a really sweet car to drive.

Cons — Gas Mileage & Maintenance can be a bit high if gonna be used as a drag car

1999 Corolla VE 1.8L, ~44,500 miles

My trim was the lowest trim option available...has manual windows and locks and no ABS. The transmission is a 3-speed auto without overdrive.

Performance: The engine seems to have pretty good acceleration for a 1.8L four, handling is pretty good. The brakes do stop the car very well but of course if you mash the brake pedal down the wheels will almost instantly lock due to lack of ABS. Gas mileage is around 20-24MPG all the time, even if you drive it hard.

Build Quality: My car seems to have pretty good build quality, and has not needed any major repairs as of yet. Still on the OE brakes, and tire wear isn't bad at all. The engine seems to be in pretty good shape with no oil burning or extraneous gas consumption. However, the engine has been idling at higher RPMs than usual and doesn't seem to back down until a few minutes pass. Transmission is still in good shape, but shifts kind of hard if you are giving the engine a little too much gas. The interior is still in good shape too, but some vinyl door trim has shrank and peeled off from the heat, and the beige cloth driver's seat is turning black from use.

Appearance: Pretty basic interior styling because it is a budget compact sedan, but it was expected.

Ownership costs: Gas mileage is good at 20-24MPG, and routine maintenance is cheap unless you need a new fuel filter. I say this because the fuel filter and pump are inside the gas tank, so a mechanic will have to remove the tank and change the filter.

Fun factor: Going the governor (112.5MPH) as your 1.8L screams at 6000 RPM on your 3 speed transmission (insane how 3rd gear goes from 45-112MPH).

Conclusion: A great economical car for a first time driver or money conscious person.

Pros — Easy to drive, pretty good performance and gas efficiency

Cons — 3 speed transmission, no tachometer on my model, high RPMs at 60+ MPH because of lack of overdrive gear

Performance - Not good.
Build Quality - Just needed routine maintenance for the 8 years I owned it.
Appearance - It's a family sedan...what do you expect?!
Cost of ownership - Good gas mileage, low maintenance costs.
Fun Factor - It's just a nice sensible car. I didn't buy it for fun.

I would recommend the newer model of Corolla. It's better looking, has better performance, does not cost more than the model I owned, is reliable, and still has good gas mileage.

Pros — Low maintenance, good gas mileage, reliable.

Cons — Poor performance, boring appearance.

I currently own this car in Pakistan. The Overall Performance is excellent and i quite like its acceleration. Although its a 1.6 but the pick is really fast. The Buiild Quality is also good but not excellent. Both the interior and exterior is also very well styled. It is a nice car to live with.

Pros — Its Acceleration

Cons — Two wheel disc brakes and its not strong body

Reviewing: 1999 Used Toyota Corolla 4 Dr CE Sedan

I bought my car in 2002 with 15000 miles on the clock. 6 years later it now has 118000 miles. Its a very reliable workhorse. The car has never had any problems with build quality or any other features going wrong. It may not be the best looker but as long as you look after it, it will look after you, fantasic car. The cars not the best car in the world for driving pleasure but its very caperble.

Pros — Build Quality, Reliability, Ecconomy, Comfortable.

Cons — None

Reviewing: 1999 Used Toyota Corolla 4 Dr CE Sedan

Small ass engine makes 0-60 sometime next year. The manual tranny makes the drive bearable, and even fun sometimes. Great on gas, and I usually average 30+ miles per gallon. Durable as all hell, and have only had to replace the clutch once in its life (130,800 miles so far), and the headlights. Styling is decent, but I don't expect much for an economy car.

Pros — Great on gas, little or no matienence

Cons — Tiny, slow engine

Of course, the best things about the Corolla are that the gas mileage and reliability are almost unparalleled. It requires only routine maintenance, and keeps going and going and ... Well you get the picture.

Pros — A reliable gas sipper

Cons — um...
