1996 Toyota Corolla

Pros: Reliability, Gas Mileage, Low repair costs if needed and cheap parts. Drives semi-sporty.

Cons:

Rear seats small. Poor Defrost/Defog. sketchy on windy Interstate over 75 m.p.h

The Bottom Line:

Buy one with low/meduim miles and well cared for.  You'll be very happy you did. VERY HAPPY

Review: I bought my 1996 Corolla in 2006. It had 80 thousand miles and was a one owner car. This car had every oil change and factory service done from the original Toyota dealership. ( Heffner Toyota ) I was concerned if it was time for a timing belt ...

Pros: bulletproof reliability, cheap repairs, retains value

Cons: dull to drive

The Bottom Line: Buy this car if you want a safe, reliable, small four-door sedan that is inexpensive to maintain and holds it's value.

Review: I own a 1996 Toyota Corolla and couldn't ask for a more dependable, safer, reliable car. The Coro ...

Pros: Space, Quality & Dependability

Cons: Sometimes I have to stop driving it!

Review: We bought this car new in 1996 and have loved it from the day I brought it home. I call it my "other" baby!

Actually my husband purchased the car and I had no idea since it was supposed to be a surprise. I was right after we...

Pros: Excellent value, great mileage, dependable in the extreme, nimble, and peppy on the freeway

Cons: Loud on the freeway (inside)

The Bottom Line: This is the very best auto I've ever owned. Great mileage, is small yet roomy where I need it, peppy on the freeway, never broken down

Review: I bought this car for $1000 used (obviously) from a Russian family who had just moved to the west coast from Minnesota. The car was parked under a tree, and covered with black tree droppings. It looked disgusting, despite the lack of dents. It had ...

Pros: Reliability and style

Cons: Wind Noise

Review: I bought our 1996 Toyota Corolla in March of 1996. It now has 64,000 miles and feels as tight today as it did when it was new. We have had no major problems to date. I really do not expect any, as it is a Toyota. This is our first Toyota and we will most...

Pros: Reliability, "bang-for-the-buck"

Cons: Zzzz...boring!

The Bottom Line: Great, reliable, well-built car with decent performance in the small sedan category, but rather a snooze on the excitement scale.

Review: My wife and I own a 1996 Corolla DX and I must say, I'm impressed. At the same time, I must say she bought it just before she met me. I'm more of a performance car guy, but you have to respect this machine for what it does, how inexpensive it is and...

Pros: Base model doesn't have some features (like tilt steering) that should be standard.

Cons: Safe, economical, tough, comfortable. Perfect commuter car!

The Bottom Line: This little car has a big heart. She is agile, quick, safe, and incredibly reliable. Change her oil every 3K miles and she'll go forever!

Review: I have to write and tell you about this car. I bought it used in 2001 when it had 65,000 miles on it. We immediately replaced the timing chain, and replaced the clutch at 160,000 miles. Other than oil changes, it has never needed any other work. It ...

Pros: Great handling, not too big and overbearing, perfect price range for a new driver, not classified as a sports car, but plenty of power

Cons: The back could be roomier, the seats tear up easy

Review: It finally came time for my precious graduation gift, the '88 LE Camry my parents had given me, to be put away. The engine blew out (of course I had forgotten to change the oil, otherwise I'd probably still be on the road today with it) so I went...

Pros: Excellent gas mileage, spacious, quiet.

Cons: Everyone has one, hard to have a different type of vehicle.

Review: I bought my wonderful Toyota in February of 1999. It has been a year and a half now and it is great. The reason I bought this car was because my previous car that was 11 years old died on me. The engine blew, and the type of work I was doing...

Pros: Very reliable, long lasting!

Cons: nothing

Review: For those of you looking for a car or just can't decide which car to buy, I would definitely recommend the Toyota Corolla!

I think it is the most reliable car made today, and we still have our Toyota Corolla from 1985!! It is still running...
