    very comfortable car. I take many short trips and always enjoy the ride.

  • I loved my little Corolla! - 2000 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    I had my little Corolla for almost 3 years. It was the first car I ever bought and I loved it. It was very reliable and got great mileage. There was a lot of space for such a small car. It handled pretty well and came with a lot of little conveniences which really helped. I drove that car everywhere and never worried about it. It wasnt fancy but it sure got the job done! I just traded it in last week for a Celica (which I am loving too!).

  • Oil Burner - 2000 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    Purchased car with 93K on it. Had owned five previous Toyotas and ran most of them past 200K. This one is an oil burner - uses 1 quart per 400 miles. Toyota does not recognize that it is a design defect although it seems to be very prevalent in these cars (98-2002 Corollas). If you are looking to purchase one - be sure to check the exhaust pipe for excessive black soot and look in the oil filler cap for oil sludge (check underside of cap for black crumbly deposits and look inside oil filler for brown coating - if it has these features I recommend to stay away from it). Also the engine light just came on - not sure yet what this problem is. Struts are worn out as well.

  • My 2000 Corolla still kicking butt at 151,000 miles - 2000 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    I just bought this car recently from a Ford dealership of all places(haha!) for 4,300 and although that price may be high, I didnt leave the lot with the car until I comfortable that it was in great running condition. And it was, and still is. Stupid check engine light was on when I bought it, but ignored it. Had autozone check it,P0171 bank 1 fuel mixture too lean(rough idle is all I noticed). So I bought 2 new bosch o2 sensors(pre and post catalytic), a bosch fuel pump, 2 rear Monroe econo matic quik struts, new bosch spark plugs, stp air filter, oil change(bosch oil filter), didnt need anyone of these parts but I got them anyways. Runs perfect, not a single problem. MY FAVORITE CAR.

  • It is a great reliable car - 2000 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    I had it for six years and had only one problem with it. One of the the automatic window stopped working, but repair was unexpensive. The car in general is very reliable. While having it, I didnt care too much about gas prices going up because it is an economy car. I recommend this car.

  • It is what it is - 2000 Toyota Corolla

    I have the stripped down VE model. Few bells or whistles. The interior is carefully laid out and only wish there was an arm rest. I agree with others that the 3 speed automatic is not the best choice, especially if you do a lot of hwy miles. Still, for reliable and basic transportation it shines.

  • Very Economical - 2000 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    I have the 2000 VE corolla with the 4sp automatic and I just wanted to day that its been a wonderful tough car. Drove on deep Canadian snow, hot humid summer days and in heavy thunderstorms and it always got me there. Its been 10 years and 200,000 miles and people say the car specially the interior doesnt look ten years old and it doesnt have the stench that other old cars do. Planning to run it down another 60,000 miles before buying a new corolla. The tranny and engine combo on this car is great and I love the fact that u can disable overdrive, helps u accelerate quickly on highway and when your done turn it back on and u can cruise quietly at 60mph. This Cars ride is really soft too.

  • Now this is a Toyota - 2000 Toyota Corolla

    I got this car used from my cousin. It had been in two different accidents and was still going strong. This model of Toyota could not be killed. Everything worked, motor sang like a sewing machine and looked very neat and clean. The only thing I didnt like was the size of the inside.

  • Most Reliable Car ever,, - 2000 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    This car sounds and runs like the day i leased it 3/20/00. I have put 65,000 miles on it. Its a dream. Old reliable. Not a whimper, PROBLEM<< daytime running lights use alot of battery and I have to make sure battery is charged. The trunk if even slightly uncentered looks like a sore thumb( very sensitive door there if its off,, your in for a headache..).
