  By Jose B - August 16 - 12:56 am

  I bought this car used with 36,000 miles on it in 1999.It now has 182,000 and still in great shape. Never changed the timing chain or transmission oil. Car was always reliable and never left me stranded anywhere. By far the best car i ever owned.

  1996 Corolla That Gave Its Life for Me - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By DMM - February 6 - 10:00 am

  This was the best car Ive had in quote a while. It ran better at 60K miles than my Ford Escort did brand new. I bought it at 60K miles, put 40K miles on it in a little over a year, and after the 100K service at the Toyota Dealership, it ran better than it ever had. I was run off the highway by a semi into the center divide - the Corolla was totaled, but I was able to walk away. I highly recommend the Toyota Corolla.

  By Tisha - November 8 - 2:00 am

  I have enjoyed my corolla since I have had it I have driven it from Texas to Ohio it has been a great car for transporting my children when they were little. Though now they are older and my son 15 and at 311 playing football, when I pick up he and his friends from practice the joke is how many football players can we fit in a sardine can!!! Other then that this has been the best car I have ever had!!! I HATE TO SEE HER GO!!!

  Wish it would last forever... - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By ToyotaYes - October 8 - 8:06 am

  I bought this car used with 14,000 miles on it in 1997. I have never had any major problems with this car. It has always been reliable. I am just sad now that I have over 171,000 miles that it is finally going to cost me more to fix than the car is worth. I tell you I am tempted to get it fixed anyway. I LOVED driving this car all these years and my next car will certainly be a Toyota. I wish it could keep going for another 171,000 miles.

  best and last car I will ever need - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By DavidRosenburg - September 1 - 9:33 pm

  This car is by far the best car you can buy for the money, I get 35 miles per gallon on freeway and 29 in town. Its easy to park and you feel like youre in a sports car, I know if you buy one you will thank me later. Oh yes I am retired, I had an auto shop once, I know what to look for in a car and this is the one, TRUST ME I KNOW.

  My Little Toyota - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By Brobolt44 - April 16 - 7:20 pm

  My 1996 Toyota Corolla is the best car I have ever owned. Front to back, inside and out, I just love everything about it. Toyota sure knew what they were doing when they made this car. They equipped it with the convenience of keyless remote entry, an alarm system, and anti theft system. The highly efficient 4 cylinder is almost self-maintained, and if necessary, very easily repaired. Theres plenty of room inside for the passengers to ride comfortably, large enough trunk space for regular cargo storage. It handles so well, it seems to just float down the highway. This car has no problems holding its own out on the road. And at 40 miles per gallon, who would ever want to drive anything else?

  Best bang for your buck - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By Billy Golden - August 31 - 6:17 pm

  Bought this car about half a year ago with 178k miles for $1,550. May have overpaid slightly, but the car was maintained very well. Some say the clutch is on its way out, considering it is still the ORIGINAL, but I believe it shifts great still. Now has 186k with original clutch. Frequent oil changes, tires replaced, other than that, havent had to put a dollar into the car. Besides an air filter. 15 bucks. I use this car to deliver pizzas. Bumpy dirt roads are frequent. The suspension is fantastic. Driving 80+ MPH feels like youre going 50. No drifting left or right, drives straight as an arrow. Fantastic get up for a little 1.8l engine. Cant suggest this car enough to you. If you find one with the 5 speed 1.8l, dont sleep on it. The gas mileage is awesome, reliability is even better. Hope to get it to 250 on the original clutch, but well see how that goes. ;)
