  • Best car Ive ever owned - 1999 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    My 1999 Corolla just hit 100,000 mles. The only repair I have ever had was a tail light bulb. Clearly, the best car Ive ever owned. I drive it everywhere at almost 40 mpg and never have a doubt that it wont get me back home. Thanks Toyota!!

  • Most Reliable Car ever Made!! - 1999 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    This 1999 corolla is absolutely amazing. More reliable than any Honda Ive owned. 200,000 miles, Ive put on 40k of them in 2 years and only have done oil changes. The car is way more comfortable than civic or integra of same year, ride is smooth and power is sufficient.

  • Pretty good reliable car - 1999 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    I was very much enjoying my little Toyota. It got pretty good gas mileage and didnt need much maintenance. My car was totaled, so I dont get to drive it anymore. I think if you get one low mileage you can drive the wheels off of it! The only complaint is that back seat space is tight.

    This bare-bones car runs and runs. Although the styling, road noise, and freeway handling leave a lot to be desired; the fuel economy, peppy street performance, and reliability are excellent.

  • Excellent Basic Transportation - 1999 Toyota Corolla

    We bought our Corolla CE with auto new, and have 65,000 miles on it. It has great reliability, reasonable pickup, good turning circle, and good ergonomics. It can be uncomfortable on long trips. I dont know how tall people can drive it comfortably (Im 57"). My carpool thinks its cramped. The radio goes into scan mode without warning sometimes.

  • This car is amazing! - 1999 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    I bought this Corolla for 500 dollars with 60,000 from someone who hit a tree and left the car to sit in an alley. I purchased a new front bumper, headlights and windshield and fixed the car. I am still driving the car 3 years later and have put 70,000 miles later. The car runs strong, I have only bought tires, oil changes and a battery. This car is amazing and is great on gas. The car is a bit slow especially when merging on the freeway but what does a person expect from a Corolla. I will buy another Corolla without hesitation. Thank You Toyota. I love my cheap little car.

  • You Get Your Moneys Worth - 1999 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    This is the second 99 VE I have owned. The first one was totaled with 112K on the ODO and that car needed nothing. My current VE was purchased three years ago with 69K on the ODO. I now have 165K on the ODO and I only had to replace the alternator and the usual things like a battery and tires. The only problem I have now is that the CEL comes on indicating a problem within the EVAP system. This can be costly to repair. The car is now burning about a quart of oil every 500 miles. I always change the oil every 5k and listen to what my mechanic tells me. I happen to have a very honest mechanic which is very hard to find! If I can find one to replace this one for the right $ I will!

  • I must have got the lemon - 1999 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    I bought this car because of its reputation with reliability and good fuel economy. I put aside my thirst for a sporty car and decided this car would be more practical. However, this car has had the craziest electrical problems. With only 80,000 miles on the car, while driving on the highway, the speedometer dies and the transmission will not shift out of first gear. It only happens in the summer if it has been sitting in the sun, or if I am driving on the highway in the winter with the heater on, so heat is obviously a factor. No mechanic has been able to fix it and I have spent around 1,000 dollars trying to get this problem fixed.

  • Reliable and Excellent Corolla - 1999 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    Very Comfortable and reliable car with excellent safety. This car has already 7 years and the engine really bright with power and economy. For me the more important thing is the reliabilty about it. The main maintenance that I made to the car was to change the clutch just 2 months ago. This is a really, really, really good car, cheap to maintenance.

  • Outstanding - 1999 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    I received this car from my aunt and uncle when I got my license. Since then, its been in 2 wrecks (1 major, 1 minor) and its still going strong. The mpg are amazing. I can get to and from Toledo (about 2 hour drive both ways) with only $20 bucks.
