Explore the 1994 Toyota Corolla

Original owners

My parents bought our 94 Corolla DX new for $14000. And it has been one of the best purchases ever made. I was 10 weeks old and since we are the original owners, that is why I won’t get rid of it. I bought it from them 6 years ago with 215,000 miles. It currently has 315,000. I keep up with all the maintenance on it. It doesn’t leak oil, however burns some which is expected. All new suspension within the past 50k. It did overheat on me once, and miraculously didn’t blow the head gasket, and the distributor failed, but other than that it has never left me stranded and still runs great.

Best Model Year of this Body Style

Ride, comfort, fuel efficiency, appearance and practically of this model is without peer. A car you can drive into the ground with normal periodic maintenance. Repair parts are cheap including the tires.

She's a trooper!

Had a 2009 Corolla until I lost my job and had to "forfeit" it. My boyfriend got me this 1994 Corolla in November. It is now March 20th, and after this brutally cold "Arctic Freeze" of a winter we just went through, this 21 year old car which sat outside, started right up without any hesitation every morning at 4:30. It has gotten me back and forth to work (46 mile round trip) 5 days a week with no problem. The engine is perfect and I have even had people comment on how good it sounds. I have had to replace brakes, muffler, and struts. I am hanging on to this car for as long as it will run!!!

best for the money

I bought my 94 5speed with 205,843 on it. It runs like the day it was built. I am currently getting 34 mpg between city and highway driving ( not to shabby ) it has plenty of power and rides nice. I would recomend this car to anyone under 6 ft tall ( lolol )

I love my car!!

I bought a '94 Toyota Corolla last Sept. The car so far has been very reliable. The only things so far that I have had to replace was the alternator and the battery. I love the motor;for a fifteen year old car, she still has a lot of spunk. She has 152,000 miles now and I am sure that she will go over 200,000 miles if I take good care of her. I would highly recommend this car to anyone who is interested in owning this model.
