  Loved it - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By loved it - January 24 - 2:43 pm

  I was in the military and stationed in California. I drove from California to Texas all the time. So put a lot of miles on my car. I also got in a wreck and totaled the car completely a few months after I got it. It was dark outside and I was able to drive the car with it totaled all the way to work which was about 20 miles and to the shop to drop it off which was another 10. IT STILL RAN!!! I never had a problem and loved the gas mileage it got. I went 1200 miles from Cali to Texas and had to fill up 3 times. Thats not bad! I love this car and miss it deeply!!! Only got rid of it cause I had another baby and there was not enough room in the backseat for 2 car seats plus another person.

  Decent car! - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By rahdirsv - January 4 - 9:20 pm

  Bought this car as a used car a month back and it had 45k miles on it; I have already put in 5000 miles on it (mostly highway) and I get an avg of 36 mpg. Got about 40-42 mpg on a recent long trip. No problems to date; engine quite noisy compared to other imported cars I have owned but great pickup and no problems passing/driving etc. I face a similar problem that a couple of other reviewers have written about: I cant get a comfortable steering wheel hold when the leg length (seat position) is adjusted right. And if I get a good steering hold for my arm length, my legs are too close to the pedals. Probably just needs a telescopic steering column.

  Nice Car - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By mariokartmax - November 4 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle handles well and gets great mileage, more then expected. I found it to be of fair quality overall. Its definitly a car I would like to keep for years to come even after I pay it off.

  no cruise?? - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By dsgoodwin - November 4 - 2:00 am

  I like my Corolla. Its my first corolla, but my third Toyota. However, I was disappointed that my S model didnt have cruise control. Its not the base model, so I dont know why its not there. Rather unfortunate, as Ive gotten two speeding tickets. Variable intermittent wipers would have been nice, but I guess they have to save some features for the highest model. It also seems like I have a harder time seeing out the back when backing. The high rear end may be part of that, as may the rear headrests, but I wonder if the design of the ... what are they called, roof supports? ... may also contribute.

  75K Review - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By Sid - October 30 - 1:53 pm

  I had a 1998 Corolla VE before I bought this used vehicle from the previous owner at 65k miles. It was well maintained with detailed service records and looking at the records, there were no quality problems. Since then I have kept up with the Toyota maintenance schedule for this car and have not had any problems either. Overall, it has been reliable, fuel efficient, comfortable and rides quietly. The manual transmission makes it fun to drive. Clutch engagement at lower gears is a little abrupt. However, as you get used to the car, you will figure out how to work it smoothly.

  Very satisfied - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By eisendo - April 30 - 2:20 am

  Bought this car in January 2004, and the only thing I have had to repair are the front brakes. The car is very dependable, comfortable, and gets decent mileage (25-city; 35-highway). Toyota needs to equip its cars with better OE tires than the Goodyear Integritys that came with the car... had to be replaced after 20000 miles, and they got lousy traction.

  This Is A New Car? - 2004 Toyota Corolla
  By Phil Ory - February 28 - 10:00 am

  If you?re looking for a car that has antique rear drum brakes, and an equally old fashioned cassette tape player, then this is the car for you. I dont even know anyone thats touched a cassette tape for the last 5 years. Whats next Toyota, an eight track tape player, and drum brakes on the front? This is 2003, not 1983. Get with it Toyota?.join the rest of us here in the present. And what?s with the radio antenna? It looks like a small dorsal fin sticking up out of the roof?why couldn?t it be embedded in the rear glass? That way we wouldn?t have to remove it before going through the carwash.
