  My Corolla! - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By Joe man for life - June 22 - 10:00 am

  Overall you cant beat this car for the price. for a 4 banger its pretty peppy. for a compact car the ride is quiet and smooth. Great gas mileage!

  Still very new - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By y - June 22 - 10:00 am

  So far, the car is great. I have just over 1000 miles (owned it for two weeks). So far, the MPG is disappointing. It is averaging about 30 mph on the highway. I expect more. It also sounds "tinny" when I accelerate from a stop.

  The Corolla is a fun sporty little car. Im young and I love to travel and be out doing things! I love having my Corolla to depend on to take me where- ever my heart desires to go! The price was great and I could not have asked for a better car! I would highly reccomend this car to anybody!!

  Toyota Corolla S - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By Wood - June 8 - 4:33 am

  My Corolla is a very good looking and reliable car. It gets great gas milage (31c/h combined.) For a economy car it has a decent amount of space, and overall it gets the job done. But one major flaw is that the driver cabin is very very uncomfortable, and seats need cushioning. Im 510 (average height) and when I pull the seat back for more leg room the steering wheel is too far away, and when I push the seat forward my foot rests too high on the pedal. Ive tried every possible adjustment and nothing seems to work. More seating adjusments. (add power seats or pedals)

  Ford Mustang 4 cyl to Toyota Corolla S - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By Chris Chase - March 29 - 10:00 am

  I decided to go for the plunge and replace my 93 4 cylinder Mustang with a 03 Toyota Corolla S. I was impressed with the fuel economy and safety ratings of the Corolla. Plus, I was tired of getting nailed each year on insurance with my Mustang, even though the 4 banger Mustang was extremely safe in collisions at normal driving speeds and didnt go very fast. Wow! Even though both cars are lightweight, get 30+ mpg, and have manuals, the Corolla is much quicker and the Corolla is more fun to drive. The Corolla also gets better mileage. After, I drove the Corolla, I immediatly jumped ship and said goodbye to the beloved Mustang.

  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.

  It wasnt as good as my last 2 Corollas - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By ksconway - August 10 - 10:00 am

  When I bought my 2003, it was the 3rd Corolla I had owned, and Id always loved them. That changed after the first time I drove it on the highway a month later. When the wind blew, the car was pushed a bit, the car was not entirely stable at 55 mph, and it was especially not stable at speeds in excess of 55 mph. I was actually afraid to drive the Corolla on the highway, especially the day we were having snow squalls and wind, and although I was only going 45 mph on the highway, the car was blown a couple of lanes over and I almost went into a truck. At that point I decided to buy a new car. I was very disappointed.

  Great Car - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By Uthier - August 10 - 2:00 am

  Great little car has comfort style and good gas milage. Doors are big enough to allow you to easly get in and out of,enough power for some nasty hills I have to climb.

  Excellent - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By alpha_1976 - August 6 - 9:05 am

  I did a review earlier after driving about 2K. Now it has 100K miles on it and still going strong no issues anywhere. The only maintenance done is the book. I also switched to full synthetic at 90K miles and there are no leaks or anything even after 10K miles. I might have to check my struts later but that is expected at 100K miles anyway. MPG is great.

  Not a Toyota - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By mark Chan - May 28 - 10:00 am

  Had a 2004 Corolla rental for one day, really hated it! Only two things worth mentioning, extremely quiet and very rommy inside. Other than that, it is pretty much a GM product. Ride motion and body control is the worst I have ever seen. Toyota Echo rides much better! Engine power is weak and the A/C was blowing out cool air instead of cold air!
