2003 Toyota Corolla consumer reviews

2003 LE with 102,700 miles. To get 30+ mpg on a 22 year old naturally aspirated motor is nuts! This is as simple as it gets. 95% of what would ever need to be done to keep this on the road I can do in my own garage, and I'm not even a certified mechanic. Still modern enough looking to blend in, peppy enough to keep up, and she'll give you way more bang for your buck than anything new. Just a reliable no nonsense A to B car that after 2 decades is still highly sought after. The key is to find one with a VIN# that starts with a "J" because those were made in Japan! The ones that weren't tend to have the rare little issues that bring her ratings down.

Hands down THE best vehicle I've ever owned. Have had for 22 years (bought in 2002), now has 152,000 miles on it, and the only problem has been that I needed to replace the starter. Still on the original transmission. No oil problems. Just put gas in it and go. Wish it had better front/rear visibility and a better turning radius. But other than that, no complaints. Confused by some of the bad reviews. Maybe sake party going on when theirs were built????

I bought my 2003 Silver colored Toyota Corolla CE in 2003. She had 15,000 miles and was a demo model. She now has 232,012 miles, and still runs strong!! I love my Corolla!!! I pray she’ll outlast me!! She has a stick shift, and even a name:. If you take good care of them, they’ll last a long time!!!

Bought this new, it now has 150k plus and runs fine. I replaced the exhaust system and water pump and did regular maintenance and 3,000 mile oil changes. It is boring and reliable, you cannot go wrong.

My Dad bought me this car new in March 03' at the Clearwater, FL Toyota dealer using the $14K quote from the Fayetteville, AR Toyota dealer. I made them add factory Cruise Control. The only initial problem we had was the Driver's window not staying up tight; it was fixed under warranty. The car gets the same MPG as my Prius V (34 MPG) which for a Prius sucks!. The only problem I have with BOTH is the legroom (41.3) which unbelievably is the SAME on both models and for a 6'3" person pretty cramped, esp on a long trip.

This article is wrong on the years. The picture is of a Corolla built from 98 and on not starting in 1992. The 92-97 Corolla is one they do not have a picture of. I currently own a 97 Corolla with 348,000 miles on it and it’s still running strong. Best car ever!

I recently purchased a 2006 Corolla with 105,000 miles in nearly perfect condition (it's basically new). This is my second Corolla, I bought my first in 2005 and drove it daily for 10 years with ZERO problems, only changing oil, tires and brakes. I am tickled pink to have another Corolla in the family, this time as my kids' car. This 2006 Corolla drives perfectly: peppy in the city, great gas mileage, comfortable along with the familiar Toyota conservative yet bullet-proof design, reliability and durability.

The car is great. I bought brand new in 2003. My car is turning 18 this month. It has always got me from point a to b. It drives great. Looks good. It is getting old now but it still runs well. I changed the brakes for the first in 2018 so that will tell you these cars were built to last.

I can't believe I'm still driving this car after almost 11.000 miles 231.500 it misfires I've tried selling it someone wants me to keep it I put oil in it occasionally keep vvt strong ac heat radio all work cantankerous car if you find one that has issues like this car buy it even still gets good mpg on hwy incredible not in town only 23-25

This car is compact, good on gas and has all that I need to get where I need to go. I love my little car...it’s not new but it’s new to me...
