  • Garys review - 2004 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    I am only six foot tall and the car is very unconfortable to get in and out. I bump my head almost every time. The center console hampers fastening the seat belt both driver side and front seat passenger side. The rear seat belts are cumbersome due to very short receiving side of belt. The fan for heater and aircondx is weak except in the highest position and it is noisy. The trunk door does not open wide enough to place an icechest in and be able to open door on the chest while in the trunk. (My Echo does)

    Almost bought the Honda EX; I think I made the right choice. Car is roomy, solid, and definately fun to drive. With only 130 horsepower, I thought the car would lug going up hills -- definately not a problem. As the car is breaking in, my gas mileage is going up (started at 30 MPG City/Hwy, now is up to 36 MPG City/Hwy driving). If you want gas mileage without giving up comfort, this is your car. Be aware the cost of insurance is high (replacement parts are high, safety is not a contributor), but the car is worth the extra insurance money.

    Bought my 2004 Corolla Ce last year.It is better built then even what my beloved Civics were but i have to say that Civics are much more comfortable to drive and stylish,on that note my Corolla gives me much better highway performance as far as accleration goes than my civics ever did.Reliabilty has been the best of any car i ever had and it seems to get better every day.No surprises with this car ,good on highway,but boring,boring ,boring,inside and out.If its looks your after choose a Honda Civic or Mazda 3!

    Very solid basic 4-door sedan. Even though this is the lower end of Toyotas model line, the car shows qualtiy construction throughout. This is my first Toyota. I will shop at Toyota first for my next car.

    good size, good match with fuel economy to power ignition key sticks sometimes in lock or wont turn unless steering wheel is turned to take preasure off if parked with wheels turned. everything else works as it should they should offer the 180 horsepower 1.8 engine on the "sport" model as a option. currently have 8300 km on it

  • Great little car. - 2004 Toyota Corolla

    This car feels solid and rides solid and comfortable. The fuel economy is excellent. I am a 6 ft. 2in. adult and I have taken this car on long trips without feeling the need to stop and rest often. I have a bad back and this car is comfortable to drive. It gives a nice quiet ride.

  • Change is not better!!! - 2004 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    I have been extremely unhappy with the quality of this vehicle and the service of the dealer (New Holland Toyota, PA). I have had it back repeately for stupid little things that they just dont seem to be able to fix. It even had a rear wheel bearing go a week after I got it. I guess thats what happens when you build a foreign car in Kentucky, USA. Worse than the quality is the ruined handling of this vehicle. They have made it higher and it now has serious body roll, it doesnt corner well at all. There is no power to this vehicle, especially if you put 4 people in it. If I could take it back I would!!!
