  Great Car - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By Joe Someguy - July 8 - 3:36 am

  My dad got a five year lease on a Corolla CE in 2001 and it was an amazing vehicle. He just changed the oil twice and the tires and it never gave him any problems. Its a very reliable car.

  OK Car - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By yoyo - June 29 - 7:13 pm

  The 2001 corolla is about as boring of a car as you can get. Too bad the 2002 made major improvements. I have had this car since it was bought brand new and still drives fine with some minor mechanical problems. The check engine light has been on many many times. I think the interior is OK quality and there are not any bells and whistles at all. Also, I noticed that not just my car, but many Corollas like mine are missing hubcaps or have aftermarket ones. That tells me the interior quality isnt great either. The fuel economy definitely does not reach 41mpg on the highway. Overall, it is just a mediocre car in my mind.

  Unpleasantly surprised !! - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By Catssu - July 21 - 10:00 am

  This my third Toyota. I am terribly disappointed with this particular car. I brought this car in for repair more than a half-dozen times. It left me stranded by stalling out, and something is herently wrong with the way it rides. The first was *finally taken care of when they figured out the computer was bad. I was actually looking at Lemon Law! The second problem we thought was the tires. After countless tire alignments and balance, the dealership replaced the tires and changed the bent rim. While these corrections helped initially, the problem ride persists and they have chalked it up to the road. Im trading this car in soon.

  Corolla or wind tunnel? - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By hiya - July 9 - 2:00 am

  I enjoy this vehicle except for the excessive road noise. It makes it impossible to hear the cell-phone and completely negates any sound quality from the stereo.

  Realiable, boring, and cant handle. - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By asiancarssmile - January 1 - 3:40 pm

  bought my corolla used in 2011. It had only 42k because a grandma used to own it. The gas mileage was amazing, and the acceleration was alright. The brakes didnt react well and locked up easily. I crashed because the car was too light, causing it loose control on a small swerve at about 55 mph. It hit a wall and flipped upside down. Both airbags deployed and the seat belt held on to me well. I had only scratches from glass and minor back trauma. It saved my life but it may have caused the accident as well.

  Cramped design - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By Rich Speaker - February 18 - 2:00 am

  This was my second Toyota. My first was a Tercel and lasted me twelve years. Ive had this one for two months and I gave up and traded up to the 2003 model. The front was cramped and difficult to get into. I am only 5 7 1/2" but I found that the seat would not go back far enough so that I could use the pedals without turning my feet in uncomfortable ways. In addition the suspension was very flimsy. It would bottom out on simple bumps. Otherwise it was a Toyota. It handled well and was well made.

  Not impressed! - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By Ibrahim - August 19 - 2:00 am

  The Corolla S sport dissapoint any driver. It had a great potential to become the leader in its class, unfortunaly Toyota are very tradional when coming to introducing a small popular sport car.

  NO NOT CE PLEASE................... - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By Amol - April 11 - 10:00 am

  I bought the CE in May 2001 have 18500 on odo. The car is fun to drive except with ac on which feels like dragging a ton behind. The worst part is the CE is 3 speed automatic which pulls the fun to drive, but once over 30 it is good. It have a good milage and pretty smooth engine. The steering is a bit scary on highway (above 60) ans can be a problem if u have a huge lorry besides u. The interior is cramped and good for 4 small size adults or 2 tall adults. Another part is CE does not come with Rear folding seat and u have to dig a small hole in u r wallet for that.

  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.
