  Too hyped. Very uncomfortable vehicle - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By Prez Max - November 16 - 2:00 am

  This is actually my wifes car, but as a 62" person, this car is horible for comfort. The door jam is small compared to similar cars. The vehicle is very underpowered and gets lousy gas milage at that!

  Best Car Ever - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By Splendor - October 7 - 7:16 pm

  I sold my 96 Toyota a week ago & already miss that car. It was very dependable and I even drove it to AZ and back. In the 11 years I had it I only had two problems. One was electrical wiring & the other was my gas tank was punctured. I prob. hit something but once these repairs were made it was back to its dependable self. I wish I still had this car and when I placed an ad selling it I had numerous calls & sold it within 4 hours for 200 less than asking price. If you need a reliable car this is it! Dont hesitate to buy. I have a big family now & it was no longer practical but I sure wish I couldve kept it.

  7 years, 200,000+ kms, <$1000 in repairs - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By Chriso - January 10 - 10:00 am

  I have had this car for 7 years and over 200,000 kms. In all that time i had to replace a clutch, a waterpump, and the front exhaust pipe for a total of under $1000 in unscehduled maintence which in way better than any other car I have had or know of. I had this car since my early 20s and drove it very hard the first few years, never broke a thing. Car still gets close to 40 mpg on the highway. The 5-speed gives the car a lot more umph especially off the line and highway passing. I will drive this car until it dies which at the rate it has been going so far will be years down the road. Best investment i have ever made.

  The dependable Corolla - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By wardo - September 2 - 10:00 am

  The Corolla will give years of reliable service. Toyota uses high quality, long lasting parts and components. At 150K miles the engine uses little oil, the original CV joints and boots are intact, and generally everything works as it did when new.Not to mention great MPG.

  Best car i ever owned! - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  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.

  Not cool but wouldnt give it up - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By polskibear5 - December 27 - 2:00 am

  I just had a chance to replace my little yota with a 2004 nissan altima and I said no. This is the best car in the world, even if it lacks power and looks. Its reliable, and really efficient. All that a collage student really needs.

  The best little car available - 1996 Toyota Corolla
  By Jason - November 22 - 6:36 am

  I bought my corolla over 2 years ago from my mom, she had it for 8 years herself. She never had one problem with it and neither have I. Just replaced the timing belt and thats it besides normal maintenance!! It feels like a 5 year old car with 50,000 yet it has 180,000 and is now 13. If youre looking for reliability this is the car for you.
