A great car, 4 out of 5 only because of
the boxy exterior and power. I bought
this used in 1999 and drove it until
2006, now I'm giving it to my son who
will soon have his license. Everything
about the car is still perfect, just
needs some exhaust system work (rust and
corrosion), a new battery and starter.
The interior is roomy and comfortable,
plus icy A/C and pretty good speakers. I
get high mileage, around 30 mpg city,
which is incredible considering the year
of the car. A bit of rust on the
outside, not very noticeable. Automatic
trans., has a bit of trouble going up
big hills but that isnt much of a
problem where I live. A perfect car for
someone who just needs to get around
town and take a long trip every now and
then. Handles very well, easy driving
but fun.

Pros: Cold A/C, roomy, good mileage
Cons: Old exterior, rust attacks, hard time on big (really big) hills

It was really old, so it had problems.  Corollas, however, are well-built cars, it's just when they're 20 years old, they tend to wear out.  It definitely was fuel-efficient, even for old outdated technology, and it's ok if you don't much money to spend on a car, but need one.

Pros: fuel-efficient, cheap
Cons: starting to wear down, since it was old

It runs well but it doesnt look nice and i really want a newer car. It only cost me 500 so that was a steal. its not really that fun to drive. just something to get me from point A to point B.

Pros: can handle lots of miles
Cons: ugly

not the best performing car, but fun as hell to drive. Who doesnt like revving to 7600rpm and waking up the whole block? cause i know i do. Too bad i cant keep up with any of my friends cars, but i only paid $1600 so who cares.

Pros: high revving inline 4 ftw
Cons: rust =[

It may not have good looks or a great appearance but it is going to last forever or at least until I can upgrade to something better.  I'd suggest anyone go find a car like this because they aren't expensive anymore and it will get you around for an affordable price.

Pros: It will last forever
Cons: The rusty appearance

The performance of this car is quite good for what
is it at this age, you can get it up to 180km/h and
still stable but braking could be a bit better, It is a
very fun driving car best as fast town car, i love the appearance its a 20 years old car but doesn't really
look old. the interior is very nice as this model is a
SE limited so there 4 power window, power mirror,
defog, heater/aircon, power steering and allot
more. i drive this car like there's no tomorrow and
it still hold up no problem.

Pros: Great built quality, have alot of accessory good driving position.
Cons: brake could be a bit better and they are getting old so there a bit of rust problem

My car is faded red and has many dents in it as i bought it off of my sister. The performance of the car is pretty shocking. It has a dodgy gearbox and the washer motor is buggered. It has only done just under 254000km and is still a realiable car to drive. But there is one thing good about it and that is the stereo.

Pros: The Stereo
Cons: The Dents
