Don't Buy this Car
I bought the 2001 Toyota Carolla a few months ago and never had any issues with it until now.
Good: The car it self is a nice drive and extremely conformable on all surfaces, I drive the car daily and get close to 4 weeks of fuel with using 95. The car has a lot of room for the passengers and the boot space is great also. The car is very light to drive and can vertually drive it with a finger due to the quick response of the steering wheel.
Bad: I have had the car serviced twice now due to a weird noise that was starting to concern me. The
... Read more car has just hit 180,000kms. When accelerating there is no noise and everything works perfect, however when stopped at a set of lights the cars idel sits very close to 0 RPM's and it sounds as if the car is going to stall even though it is an Auto. When this issue occurs the entire car vibrates and I sometimes find my self accelerating a bit when at 0KM or even putting the car in Neutral as this increases the engine revs. The seats in this carolla are a beige colour and different material to other carollas also, i suggest if you are to buy a corolla in this specific year model pick the black interior. I find my self having to put a towel over the seat as the seat gets extremely hot and uncomfortable even when the Aircon is on as-well. The cars transmission is also very delayed, i find that the car always jolts when changing gears. Overall, it is a good car but I am purchasing a new car due to not enjoying my time with this car, some people might think otherwise about the car, but i suggest test driving the carolla and look out for these specific issue before purchasing.
A toy car
I bought a Corolla sedan in October 2010 and today the engine stopped while I was driving. The problem is from the failure of battery and it was so strange. Last year a small ford sedan hit my corolla from behind, the ford was looking like nothing happened but my corolla was nearly falling apart. The car is full of plastics, if you lean against the door the door will be deformed. My future will not be Jap car whatsoever.

Bad
We got our new Corolla in 2008. I was a bit skeptical because the build did not seem as good as the ones made in Japan.
Had a few problems with the seat being loose and it needed to be replaced. Funny noises from the front end and the exhaust seems to rattle every so often.
There was something wrong with the steering and they fixed that.
They seem to fix these things up when we put it in for a service although it took a lot of convincing for them to fix the seat.
Its very important to make sure the driver’s side mat is fastened with its cli
