5 star review

I have had my Corolla since September 2000. It has so far passed 10 MoT’s fault free and has done 125,000 without letting me down. My best buy ever!

Toyota Corolla Hatchback 1.5l Auto

5 star review

Smooth, economic and with lots of power to give. Toyota made this Corolla to last, like all the other Corolla models and to give you comfortability when driving. When buying this car, you are automatically saying goodbye to the parts warehouse. All you have to do is a good service, replace the liquids when Toyota guides you to, and you’ll be getting a Toyota as good as new. Today, Toyata has a different technology in their gearboxes, called the Optimal Drive. These gear boxes give a lot of power combined with the engine hp and torque. With these drive trains, a 1.3 engine is as quick as a 1.6. My next Toyota will defo have this package.

Toyota Corolla Hatchback Automatic 2006

5 star review

This is my second Corolla and apart from an annoying rattle in both car boots it has served me well, if they were still made I would by another although they are not as good as the Carina.

Toyota Corolla Hatchback 2.0 D4D 120 Colour Collection 2006

5 star review

I bought this car from my local Toyota dealership in July 2006, recently got the car MOT’d and it sailed through no problems at all, nothing needed replaced or fixed, just a good service and its as good as new. I do a lot of motorway mileage and I have covered over 88,000 Miles and the car has never gave me any trouble. The reason I bought the Corolla was because of its legendary reliabilty record and this model certainly lives up to the excellent record! I was thinking about a new Auris but since there is no 2.0 D4D in them anymore I’m going to keep my car. The engine is fantastic! It shifts on briliantly and always had lots of grunt for over taking. The interior is pretty basic but for a Focus with the same spec it was costing me over £16k and it only had a 1.6 TDCi. I got my 2.0 D4D Corolla for £13,670, all the electrics have been fine, no problems at all! The seats are well supportive and hav plently of adjustment but are quite firm, in the rear there is plenty of space for tallish people and it accomadates 5 no problem. Overall it has been a joy to drive and live with, I definitely spent my money wisely because these cars are rock solid.
