2000 Toyota Corolla consumer reviews

03 April 2024, my cousin just notified me that her 2000 Corolla had been totaled by an 18-wheeler. She's OK and no one was serioulsy hurt. She called me because she knew how much I was astonished with her car. That car had 530,000 no problem miles under its hood. I swear tpo you dear readers.

I bought a 2000 corolla with 150,000km on it in 2021. I bought this car for $2500 based on the condition under the hood was very little surface rust and the rocker panels and rear fenders barely had any surface rust. I have put 16,000km on it so far and plan to get well over 100,000km of use out of it all for $2500, so by the time you calculate depreciation of my purchase over the course of a number of years I’m doing pretty good. The thing I like best about this car is the gearing and torque with the automatic transmission. It will handle a considerable grade at highway speeds without downshifting which tells me Toyota nailed it when engineering this champion!

I might just keep buying 2000 Corollas. Mileage doesn't matter. History might, just to know what easy fixes I might be looking at (due to neglect). From an engineering standpoint, this has got to be the best car out there. You can fool yourself into Porsche performance or Mercedes 'engineering', but the design goal for a car is for transport, reliability and simple maintenance. My previous car was a Mercedes and I hated driving it, due to driving anxiety of constantly waiting for the 'now what?'.....My Corolla is pushing 200,000 miles, which was my goal but now I'm thinking 400k and even if I got another car, I'd keep this as a second. I maintain it better than any shop and nothing I've done has taken over an hour, most like ten minutes. Sure, I'd like more power and performance but in reality, where are you going to do that? Until I can afford track time, I don't care. 36mpg freeway works for me. Most people who brag like that paid well over 10x what I paid for my used Corolla.

Need a versatile car for everything? I got one for you! The 2000 toyota corolla, it can be a fuel saving commuter, or it can be a truck or a rally car, it may not be made for that but if will work and won't break, this car will never give a fuss about anything it will always keep going and probably outlive you, the performance from the 1zz-fe 1.8L dual overhead cam 4 banger is more than you would think, it has plenty of power for its size. It's not a racecar but if you drive it like one it doesn't complain and it's very light and nimble, yes the exterior styling and interior are bland but very functional, parts to upgrade or fix it are very cheap, the seats are pretty comfortably and you can fit a giant sub in the trunk, truely the ultimate car, everyone on the road should be driving a 2000 corolla,

My wife bought ours in 2001, so this car lasted her 19 years and 250000 miles. Great on gas, and reliable. It’s neither quick nor stylish but that’s not why you buy it. You buy it because it will always get you where you need to go without using too much gas.

This car has all the qualities for a person interested in saving on gasoline, perfect for making small deliveries that need something comfortable compact that runs well and safe.

If you're trying to do short trips or long trips, the car will get you there with no problems. The longest it's driven straight was about 300 miles to the destination and then 300 miles back and no problems occurred.

Had my 2000 Toyota corolla for 13 years now 238,450 miles Still runs good but my starter just died on me When I get enough money in future I will buy another Corolla

Super good on gas. Engine's are very reliable. Perfect for Downtown/City driving. Very easy to work on. Parts don't cost alot of money and are relatively easy to find.

This car is the best of it's kind. I've never change the transmision never changed the engine and the car is still running strong. Minor fixes like shocks which I just changed recently after about 17 years if you take good care of her she will get you from point a to point b no problmes at all
