My thoughts

I bought this car for $1,200 as is I've been driving it for tears and it's been very faithful to me I always used to buy Hondas. This is my first Toyota and it's proven to me that it's been an awesome experience with this car so far

My forever car.

I own a 1998 Corolla: bought it new and maintain it well. It has 145,000 mikes on it and still gets 26 mpg in city driving. I have replaced the clutch once-it is a 5 speed stick-shocks snd brakes, as well as tires and batteries. This car is dependable and the harmonics sound the same today on start-up as they did in 1998. Reliable, paid off, and good gas mileage: Everything I love about this well- built machine.

My Precious Toyota

I’ve driven this car ever since 1998 when I purchased it new - 23 years combined of commuting to work and now for going to meetings & appointments, and running errands. The car is easy to drive and very comfortable, no trouble even on snow & ice. Husband says the drive feels more comfortable than his 4 year old Prius! Even though repair expenses are increasing recently, I would rather drive it than purchase a new car.

1998 Toyota Corolla

I got a real good deal on this car. I bought it almost 5 years ago with 56,000 miles. I have been keeping up with the maintenance and so far it has been a great car. I have not had much go wrong with it.

Oldie but goodie

She may be old but she is reliable. Easy to drive. Can park her anywhere. She keeps on chugging with little upkeep. Maintain oil changes and air filters and she will last forever. She is easy on gas and the interior wears well. Only downside is the large vehicles on the road today makes highway driving a little uneasy. It is a smaller vehicle but that is what makes it so economical to own.

30 MPG!

The Corolla is an excellent vehicle. I use mine as a daily commuter. It has never let me down. At 175k miles and 20yrs old the engine runs strong and gets well over what I expected for mpg. I drive 75mph to work every day and then threw town and still have excellent gas mileage. Great seating, very comfortable, and does everything I need.

Twenty years and still going strong

My Toyota Corolla is almost 20 years old, and still going strong, it has shows no signs of slowing down. It handles very well and is very economical in both mileage and repairs/maintenance. I will keep it until the wheels fall off, which, according to my mechanic, is still several years and many thousands of miles away. When it does die, I will buy a Corolla again.

El carro que se niega a morir

El carro es del 1998, lo compré en el año 2001 y todavía lo tengo, porque ha sido el mejor carro que he comprado en cuestión de calidad. Tengo otro carro de otra marca del 2009 y el Corolla del 98 me dá menos problemas de mecánica. En todos los años que lo tengo las reparaciones han sido mínimas. Todavía está en excelentes condiciones de mecánica y a cada rato me lo quieren comprar.

The right car for beginning driver

The vehicle has been taken good and the car is in good condition inside and good shape outside. The car runs will. The power steering is starting to make some noise, but no indication of being "bad" at this time. The vehicle has about 157,000 miles on it.

Best car I've ever owned

This car is an anti lemon! The first battery lasted 9 years. I almost never have to fix anything on this car, except for the trim inside the car cracked and shrunk away from the doors. It had to be taken off, and the roof is sagging now, just due to age. The engine, I swear, will probably last for ever! Because it is a manual transmission, I can still peel rubber anytime I want! I see many other people in my area with this same year or near this year car, and their cars seem to be running well also!

Will this car last forever?

I bought this car new, and the factory battery lasted 9 years! The engine has been perfect for 18 years. I see tons of these cars, the same year or near the same year, on the road every day. NUMI knew what they were doing when they built this car. At least with the moving parts. Okay, so the trim pieces inside the car started to shrink away from the body and crack during the 13th year, and the ceiling fabric started coming away at the edges the same year, but I would rather have the guts of this car last rather than "cosmetic" stuff.

Great car, would buy again.

I bought this car new almost 18 years ago. It's got 140,000+ on it now and hope to keep it until 200,000 miles. Replaced the clutch at about 115,000, other than that, no major work on it. It has survived being hit 4 times. Good gas mileage. If I had to buy another car today, I would get a Toyota Corolla all over again.

Toyota a good reliable car

My 88 Toyota was still going strong when I traded it at 120000 miles for this 98 I hope it lasts as long as I do with less driving now retired.
