This couldn't be too difficult now, could it? Coming up with a list of potential problems and issues with the Toyota Corolla looks like it could be a very simple job. Not only does the famous Corolla have a history of great reliability, but it's also been named to countless 'best-buy' lists for used cars, receiving numerous awards for its quality and customer satisfaction in the process.
By the time the ninth generation of this car started rolling out of factories, it was fairly obvious that Toyota had hit the nail on the head- and when it comes to a small sedan, it doesn't get much more sensible than this.
Filling a space between the Yaris and the Camry, the Corolla became the world's best selling car in 1997. It's produced in various markets around the world, and has sold well in excess of 30 million units.
Last generation styling was the most substantial that the car had seen, with a larger body translating to a roomier interior and more significant look. It's not a car that's going to turn any heads- though it's smart and cheeky in its own right. If you've got to rob a bank, a beige Corolla may be the ticket- since it could easily hide in plain sight. You may find a Corolla "S" model with a spoiler, alloy wheels and a partial 'body kit' for a sportier and more energetic appeal.
Inside, the story is much the same. It's clean, tidy, neat and well laid out. Nothing incredibly exciting, though sufficiently tidy and upscale enough to hold it's own. Look for safety features like a driver and front-passenger airbag, as well as optional side and curtain bags, along with power accessories, a cabin air filter and a CD player.
Owners rate their Corolla's most favorably in the comfort, driving dynamics and safety areas- while most aren't as impressed with the cars styling and esthetics. Performance is a mixed bag- some owners wish the car had more power, while others are impressed with the output, given the engine's size.
