  Best Car Ever - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By Best Car Ever - February 7 - 1:03 pm

  Bought brand new from local Toyota dealer. Best car I have ever owned. I had 2002 civic and 2002 mazda Protege before and theyre both terrible. My corolla had almost 150,000 miles and never had any problems. I get about 33-35MPG on mixed driving. I would buy another corolla without any questions. This cars quality and reliability is no match. This car has zero problems after 150k Miles.

  Nice Ride - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By aszewczyk79 - January 28 - 10:00 am

  I just picked up my new Corolla and i love it. its a very nice and smooth ride. it handles well on a highway in a wind. the doors lock nice and tight and there isnt any wind noise inside. breakes are good in slippery conditions. i think i should be set for the next few years with a nice car.

  I LOVE MY CAR - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By kdbmorgan - January 19 - 7:30 am

  I love this little car! I bought it because I drive 60 miles one way to work and needed something with good gas mileage, and ended up liking everything about the car. I actually get about 38 mpg city/hwy, but mostly highway miles which is wonderful with the cost of gas now. Great car for the price so far.

  Was great until 60K - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By NYCHr - January 12 - 10:50 am

  I bought the car new in 2003 as a 2004 model. It ran great and had a great MPG in mid 30s w/ low maintenance until 60K, then everything - one by one broke down. The serpentine belt, left rear wheel, radiator and rear wheel bearing that required entire hub assembly to be replaced. The ran mostly highway in the NE. I wont be buying another Toyota for a while. It feels as it is only built to last 60K, then things break down one by one. With the Toyota recall all over the news, I am starting to wonder about the build quality. Oh, the paint chips at 30-40K miles. The noise is unacceptably high as compared to my new elantra.

  I have mixed feelings - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By 707Rob - December 12 - 11:30 pm

  At 65,000 miles a rear wheel bearing went bad. I thought "great $100 bucks max at the dealer and Ill press in a new one." WRONG. $300+ later I had to buy the WHOLE hub assembly. This is a bad design issue that makes people fork out the dough for parts. 85,000 miles, Engine serpentine belt Tensioner = same design issue....it isnt serviceable $245 later, I now have a quiet belt and tensioner assembly. Fog light relay went bad, $65.00 later the lights work again. Parts are expensive for these cars! Should this stuff be wearing out so soon? Why not design serviceability into the parts?! Or is Toyota trying to sell you pricey parts? Sorry Toyota, that Fusion is looking good.

  2004 already! - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By hippoz - November 26 - 10:00 am

  Having owned a 1999 Corolla, it was interesting to see the differences. This vehicle is larger, more comfortable, feels safer. Trunk is a nice size. I dont find the instrument panel to be very attractive as it is so white, not hi-tech looking. Also, the doors dont automatically lock when the car starts as did my 1999 model. The keyless entry does offer the option of opening one or all the doors, a good safety feature. The cup holder was also more convenient on the older model.

  I have never bought a new car, right from the dealership before. I love my Corolla. It has been reliable, fun to drive, and easy on gas. I have had to spend no extra $$ on maintenance except scheduled maintenance. I will have this car for a long time.

  80k and no problems - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By David - August 23 - 10:20 pm

  Ive put a lot of miles on this car and never had any issues with it. Other than oil changes, it has never needed service of any kind. I will definitely buy another Toyota--either another Corolla or a Lexus. Excellent car.
