  Not the Toyata Quality I Have Known - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By Yogasong44 - May 11 - 12:13 am

  I bought this car used with 30,00 miles on it and have had regular maintenance performed. Have have had a few major problems that were costly to repair. Common Toyota problem, per my body shop guy: the door handle mechanism broke requiring $800 repair. My body shop guy says he sees about 15 Toyotas a year that have this problem; from Corollas to Avalons and Toyota hasnt done any recall. My roof paint is chipping and is rusted, so poor paint quality because no accidents to account for this. I fear this repair. My gas mileage is only about 24 city, 32 highway. Ive always owned Toyotas and have enjoyed them, and this is my only mediocre one, but makes me want to go Honda next time around.

  Nice Car - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By DeCru - March 19 - 2:00 am

  We bought our car right after we got married in 2001. We have had no problems with it and find the car to be very economical. The Factory tires only lasted to 13000 miles, but I have heard that is the case with all factory tires. Recently inspected the brakes and the pads have 60% life after 45000 miles! (It is a stick) The car has enough pep and it is fun to drive beacuse it is a stick. The front seats were a little uncomfortable at first.

  Corolla - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By Jynxie - March 5 - 6:43 am

  Perfect for first time buyers and those who want a car that will get them from point A to point B. One flaw, hopelessly boring. If you like your car to have some sort of personality (I know I do) this is not the car to buy.

  Decent car for the money - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By mmckimmey - January 2 - 9:23 pm

  Overall, the Toyota Corolla is the basic transportation. No cruise, no ABS, and bland, boring styling. Its not bad looking, but not nearly as nice as the Civic from the same year. Outside, the car is fairly boring. The headlights are a neat shape, but thats about all I can say about the interior. This car is absolutely boring in tan. Inside, its still boring. Tan, tan tan. The seats are fairly comfy, no complaints there. Rear legroom is a joke. Trunk space is good, enough for a long trip. Overall the car has been very reliable, mass air flow sensor is the only major thing replaced. Other normal things like timing belt, etc.

  Now Have Two of them - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By Antonio Rodriguez - October 31 - 10:00 am

  I have a 98 LE and now an 01 "S". After having a 98 w/over 100,000K. I have purchased the "S" due to Toyotas outstanding reliability, and quality I have come to appreciate over the years.So far these two vehicles have been the best purchases ever. After having an 00 Accord EX-V6 (too many transmission and engine problems) and a 02 Volvo S60(electrical). Im happy and now a Toyota owner for life. Now looking to purchase an 05 XRS for me and an 05Prius for my mom.

  Cheap, reliable car - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By jjc839 - October 7 - 3:25 am

  Bought used, now has 240,000km. Still has the original brakes, not a spot of rust anywhere (Canadian car) and in the winter it gets cold started twice a day every day as this is a commuter car. Havent had a single problem with it. A little underpowered but hey its an economy car. Fuel consumption is 6l/100km in the summer and about 8l/100km in the winter.

  Terrific car for 10K - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By FryBoyJIB - September 4 - 2:00 am

  Bought this as my first car in January. It does a great job of getting me to an from work six days a week. I love the build quality and interior fit and finish. The engine is very rev happy and the three speed auto does just fine. Interior room is just fine for two average adults with the back seat used for storage. I dont mind the so-called "plain vanilla" of the 2001 Corolla, for the simple reason that cars with "personality" (i/e the 2001 Celica) are "very ugly" and "overpriced". The dealer (Toyota of Killeen) took forever and a day (Two months) to get me a new registartion sticker for this car, but that is not Toyotas fault.

  Great small car - 2001 Toyota Corolla

  Good car, but does have issues. - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By vasquezkj - August 7 - 10:00 am

  A nice car, nothing outstanding, but still a very worthy buy. As the reviewers mentioned, the Corolla is very reliable car - though I have only owned it for 3 years / 36,000 miles. The car does seem to be put together well; no loose parts or rattling. Some problems: back seat way too small (no leg room), the engine performance isnt great (particularly with the a/c on), and for some reason my car has always had a problem with shifting into reverse. That being said, overall, this is a good car.
