The most reliable car I’ve owned.

This car is perfect for a beginner that is interested in learning to drive the stick, with in a month I was able to glide through all five gears with ease.

The best car Ive ever owned

This car as of 12/25/2020 has 320,000 miles and still runs great. Only minor issues.. It leaks about a quarter of a quart of oil in a month but as long as you keep maintenance this car will be the best and last a very long time.

Most reliable car to have

This car meets all my needs. I get great mileage, very few problems. I love my Toyota, I would buy another soon. My Toyota is great for road trips.

Most reliable car I will ever own.

Lasted me 18 years, multiple trips across the country, kept indoors, outdoors, any situation... this car will not die. If you are a Point A to Point B driver, go Corolla. No frills, No pretense. just reliable and comfortable.

Still runs like a champ

This car has had lots of motor work and regardless of miles it is the best car ive owned. It has a lot of life left. I have 2 kids and drive it everyday no issues. I'm just looking for 4x4.

Most Reliable and fuel economy car.

AC/Heat works perfectly. Upgraded with tinted glass and Reverse view camera/ DVD player. The 4 tires are brand new together with the battery and they have 5 year warranty on them.

Most reliable car I ever owned!

I bought a 2003 Toyota Corolla CE in January 2015 for $6,000 plus tax with only 62,000 original miles. Very updated too and has new radio and remote start that was put in by the original owner. I still have this car to this day and it is the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned! I went from a 2002 Chrysler Pt Cruiser to this car and it is the best decision I have ever made. I am so happy I have this car and I feel much safer than I did in the Cruiser. I would recommend this car to a new driver. Will get you from point a to b and then some. Highly recommended.
