| “Never Regretted Buying This, It Has Lasted All These Years.” By: Corolla922
 
A great car, 4 out of 5 only because of
Pros:
Cold A/C, roomy, good mileage
Cons:
Old exterior, rust attacks, hard time on big (really big) hills
|
| “It Was Definitely Worth It” By: Cabrio_451
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

Pros:
Everything

being old and ugly

| “Bmw 523 Stays In The Drivway All Weekends.” By: Irishcorolla...
I have my old Toyota DX Estate for about 7 years now. I purchased it as a second car for running about and making various trips to our local re-cycling centre in Trim. This car is a 1.8 Diesel, it does not have any toys at all ( unlike my every-day BMW 523 SEi) but what it does have is total reliability and economy to run. With diesel prices rocketing here in Ireland and the price of cars up and down, this little car is slowly becoming me day to day car. The BMW sits in my driveway more and more. My Corolla does need a few jobs done on it now..clutch and a brake upgrade, plus some small bodywork jobs...is it worth it.? YES...and in time the BWM will be sold..nice car yes..practical..sometimes..but becoming too costly to own and run wth road tax here in Ireland hitting €1500/yr with new rules coming in. Watch that space..
Pros:
Total reliability...even with 190k..simple to own and maintain
Cons:
ehhhhhhhhh...could do with power steering...MAYBE

| “First Car I Ever Paid Bought On My Own” By: Akshat9
Big Pimpin aka the Maybach. Total POS that lasted forever and was only tossed after the inspection guy said getting a new muffler for my car was going to run more than the care was worth. 224k miles.
Pros:
Reliable, dirt cheap...
Cons:
The only option on the car was A/C

| “The Car Is Reliable If You Take Regular Care Of It.” By: Corbin10
My car has great interior and the body is fairly straight. The only concerns are the engine is going out and the paint is oxidised because it was owned near the ocean.
Pros:
Great fuel economy and will last longer than most cars.
Cons:
The power of the engine is going out, mostly because it has very small tires and is nearly twenty years old.

| “Very Reliable But Nothing For Looks Or Preformance” By: Ershad3
The car is solid but horrible acceleration and mine smokes up if i go over 130Km/h but for a 20 year old car its still running well.
Pros:
reliability
Cons:
preformance, looks

| “A Family Car, Of Course!” By: chuchomovil
I've been driving my 89 Corolla DX for almost 2 years. This particular car was created to be a classic! It's fun to drive it, and a family oriented vehicle!
Pros:
Reliable, Cheap spare parts
Cons:
I have no cons. This is a wonderful car

| “Indestructible” By: Kain6
This was my 1st car in high school, and a well deserved one. For someone with a lead foot, and a knack for playing Ridge Racer back in 95, this Corolla was the perfect automobile for driver training. I can't imagine the amount of abuse I put this car through, but it just keeps on going. I don't think the engine oil or transmission fluid were ever changed after the first 30k miles. This car was never serviced, and its alignment completely out of whack (steering wheel was 90 degrees off), but the car drove perfectly. It always started out with no problem, and never died on me. The upholstery on the roof was secured with staples out of a staple gun, and you can see the hood prop was broken, so we had use a breaker bar. Other than that, perfect car.
Pros:
Utterly indestructible no matter how abuse you incur onto it.
Cons:
Can't think of any, the ultimate and perfect daily driver.
