  "The Peoples Car" of the 90s - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By FanOfDr.Saito - August 1 - 11:53 am

  This has been a wonderful car to own & maintain; my wife bought it new when she was in college, and I got it after we married. Its "the little import that could"; I have over 160K mi. on it, have used it in ways the designers never intended (truck, off-road vehicle, long-range transport), and it *just keeps running*. I am able to squeeze 36 MPG combined with thrifty road habits. The body has its scars from the parking lot and highway rubble, but I dont abuse the drivetrain or suspension, and give fluids as recommended. I love this little guy; hes a loyal, modest and well-mannered steed. I will likely drive this car until it is killed in a wreck/earthquake (CA resident, of course).

  BUY IT!!! - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By lukebecker - February 1 - 8:42 am

  This is the second one I owned and I must say I love them. 100% reliable. Always starts. Almost 200K on it and still purrrs like a kitten. Nice speed out of them too. I would tell anyone that if the price is right go for it. I had the one before and it lasted 250K until I let someone use it. Clutch was gone when they came back. Didnt think it was worth the fix.

  A good reliable car - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By Dan - July 10 - 4:16 pm

  I purchased this vehicle off the lot brand new, never had any major problems just regular maintenance and general upkeep changed a few batteries, timing belt after 100K and struts on the 150k mark it needed it. When it was paid off I just used the money I saved over a year and spruced up the engine. This car has become my favorite and of course well cared for still classy (did I mention Paid for). I started sprucing it up now everyone wants to buy it - sorry no sale here. I tricked it now its completely mine. Have to thank TRD Japan for its good supplies in the Asian Market for this vehicle. USA did not supply the 93 to 96 corollas well... stylish gas saver and good ole lil car

  Best Little Wagon - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By LongTermHappyOwner - June 16 - 7:03 pm

  had this reliable and peppy wagon for ten years; no major defects or problems; easy to park; good visibility; good loading capacity; good leg room in back; upholstery wears well; std stereo mediocre; gas mileage appx 26-28 city; 28-30 freeway; would have bought another but dont make anymore; drivers seat and headrest are comfortable for my neck and frame (56").

  Great Car - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By dogperson11 - June 13 - 10:00 am

  This is a great car. It is my first car, and after puting more then 7k miles on it in just 8 months, the only thing I have had to do are oil changes. It has 81k (almost 82k) miles right now, and I hope it goes at least twice that!

  Great Reliable Car! - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By Jessie - September 28 - 2:46 pm

  This has been a great car! I bought the car from my parents right out of high school. The car has been very reliable and gets great fuel mileage. This car has handled well on dirt roads and in town. For the most part I have only done the basic maintenance on the car: tires, oil changes, brakes. For the car having 230,000 miles on it, it has done really well. The only problems I have had are the lights for the air adjustment dont come on consistently and the rear struts just went out on it. I have been very happy with this car and am looking into other Toyota models to replace it.

  reliability with economy with quality - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By JODASACA - March 21 - 10:00 am

  Toyota is probably the best car you can buy for the money you spend. I have the 1.8 liter engine in my Corolla. It give me good performance with good economy. My Corolla hardly ever needs anything done to it. It is the most reliable car I have ever owned. It sure beats the American car I previously owned
