  • Best car Ive ever had - 2002 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    The title says it. Of course I change the oil and filter every 2000 miles and do all maintenance like clock work. Manual 3rd gear with this motor is the best passing gear and merging lane combination I have ever seen in 42 years of car ownership. Need to pass someone on the highway at 50 mph? Downshift to 3rd and tromp on it. Pickup is superb, and they hear you coming.

  • Should have been part of the big recall - 2002 Toyota Corolla

    I highly recommend you throw the driver side floor mat into the back seat like I did. After the little metal piece that holds the floor mat in place broke off I almost had a wreck! Stupid mat jammed under my accelerator. I almost did not get the car stopped and would have wrecked if the road had not been straight. Otherwise this has been an awesome car!

  • I should have got this in the 1st place! - 2002 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    In the five months that I have had this car, I have finally put away the Advil. My previous car was a 2001 Ford Focus-what a hoot! I have NEVER had to visit the service center once, outside of routine maintainance. With my Ford, I set up camp at least once a month at the local dealer. Good thing they were very helpful. I plan to keep this car for a long time. I know it will last, unlike that "other" car I used to own...

  • Affordable and Sporty - 2002 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    I was looking for something with a good history, with a style that wouldnt go out, and fuel efficient. I also found a great Toyota dealership that made me feel very comfortable in knowing I made the right decision.

  • Does what it supposed to do - 2002 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    The Corolla is essentially a commuters car for one or two passengers. Commuters want reliability, economy and a comfortable ride. The Corolla delivers in spades. Looks and rear seat knee room are not as important to us commuters. The only weakness is roominess for drivers who are taller that 510". Otherwise, you cant go wrong with a Corolla. The ride and handling dramatically improved when I installed Yokohama TRZ tires.
