  13 years of non-stop use without any breakdown - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By Istvan Balog - August 31 - 7:51 am

  The only hardware failure during our 13 years - still ongoing - experience was the failure of the master clutch cylinder (the Toyota dealership in Brunswick, GA installed a faulty one generic instead), leading to about $1700 in unreasonable, humiliating

  It even autocrosses well - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By Corolla DriveR - January 10 - 2:33 am

  I bought this car new. it now has 113,000 miles and I plan to keep it till it has about 300,000. never any mechanical problems. the original brake pads were still good when I replaced them at 100,000 miles for grippier pads for autocross. I won the regional H stock championship for 2005 in this car. not a great amount of power in the motor but it handles well. much more power than the 99 civic I traded for it. under normal use, these cars just dont break. I do have the 5 spd manual and normally get 37-42 mpg combined city/hwy. runs like a champ.

  TRD needs more parts for this car - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By Jun Lee - December 7 - 2:00 am

  the S model is nice. the interior is nice also. TRD does need to make more parts for the car and so does the aftermaket companies. if toyota would target the teenagers more like honda, and their civic, maybe there would be more things in the works.

  Eh possibly my last corolla - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By MMAkansas - December 6 - 2:00 am

  Bought it with 77k on it, and now have 153k. Had to replace the struts... like many 2001 owners I have had a check engine light on for 3 years now... nuts, it turned itself off for 90 days and came back on, and they figure its either sensors or the catalytic converter.Its a pretty good car, but the gas mileage went from good to horrible with age. Its okay overall. The dash lights are gone now.. they dont work, and the engine idles really hard ... I hope it keeps going and going.. I aim to get 220,000 miles on it so if it does that I will be thrilled

  Great Car - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By gorzo55 - May 27 - 1:00 pm

  I bought my 2001 Corolla used in 2003 with 40k miles. It now has 120k miles and is still my primary car. No engine problems that others have reported. My catalytic converter was replaced at 115k though. Ive done by the book maintenance and have had no major problems. The only big repairs Ive had were break issues that were my fault from overly aggressive city driving. Im not sure about what others have said about burning oil...I havent noticed it but I know little about cars. This car gets better gas mileage than the current Corolla models. I once drove from Pittsburgh to Indianapolis on one tank.

  Esthers Interior departing - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By Esther Dudley - April 12 - 2:06 am

  I love my car but I am very disappointed with what is happening to my interior. I have already replaced my exterior around two of my windows. This is truly a problem with the manufacture I think. This is causing me money to fix and stress because of the way the car is looking. This is my second Toyota and I can not believe what is going on. When I went to the dealership where I purchased the car they did not show interest in fixing the car but for me to purchase. I am trying to find out if this is a recall.

  Buy it. - 2001 Toyota Corolla
  By Michael Templeton - October 13 - 8:13 pm

  Its really a great car. Almost every review is a big success. I have immensely enjoyed my yota. It had 67,000 mi. when I purchased it. I road- tripped out to Oregon from Michigan in April 2006 (6,200 mi. round trip) and it was a dream. Nothing went wrong with the car, we had only to change the oil once, and thats it. It never overheated, and it took on the Rockies with valiant spirit. One thing that DID go wrong though, as strange as it may sound, was that the cd player and volume knob broke. But we discovered later that SOMEHOW the volume was now fully controllable through the dashlight knob, and the headlight stick would turn the sound off and on...?? Weird. My experience earns a big nod!
