This car is a tank!

I bought it new, I kept up the service, and now the mileage is up to 300,000 miles, and it could easily go way higher! I'm so glad that they made the engines as they did back in that time, I wish they did the newer models that way.

20 Years of Dependability

No, it's not the fanciest car on the road, but in the past twenty years it's broken down on me only once. I'm not a luddite, but I love that it's a very low tech car. (That said, the CD player still works flawlessly.) Even the windows are on a hand crank.

Great car

It's like the eveready bunny. It just keeps on going. This car was bought used for my niece and has been passed around our family for years to anyone in need. It has never had a major engine issue. We truly love it.

Dependable car if you take care of it

My car is 19 years as of now and it hasn’t given me any major problems except for regular wear and tear. I have had to rep place my catalyst converter, spark plugs, timing belt, and some engine codes. Otherwise the rest of repairs are minor normal wear and tear. That being said, I’ve always kept up with my maintenance check up every 5,000 miles. My car is still running well and I am praying for few more years. FYI: my odometer reading got stuck at 299,999. I heard this being a common problem for 2003 Toyotas. I don’t find this to be a big deal. You can use your Trip A or B to track your additional mileages.

Toyota - Toyota - Toyota - ooOOoo!

Toyota is insane; my vehicle has over 400,000 miles and runs like it's only 7 years old. Go ahead buy another name but you will regret it. I have owned nearly every name and my life was uncomfortable b/c those cars are bloody sh*ts, "NEVER AGAIN". They say do your oil change often, take care of your transmission and that is correct b/c other cars will poop on you at around 150,000 miles - this is why people sell them then. I made a mistake and didn't do oil changes and stuff but b/c Toyota had ignorant people like me in mind my 2003 Toyota is still running anyway. Now that I know to maintain my car I am doing it. Thank you Toyota makers, thank you so much.

Top notch!

When it comes to a dependable vehicle you can not beat a Toyota. The 2003 Corolla is no exception! This vehicle is rock solid and if you are in for a basic, but decent ride this is a great choice! They are comfortable, great on gas and mechanically sound. I love owning this car!

Toyota 2004

This car was dropped off to us by a family member the same day my mom had to give up driving. It helped take her to appointments and errands while she was going through a health challenge. We drove it for vacations and work. Our daughter is learning to drive in it. Just a solid reliable car. Even when it's hurting until it gets fixed. Quality made and durable.

Just what I needed.

I purchased this Corolla as a winter and rainy day car. It came with a complete service history and really did belong to a little older lady. He husband kept it running and in great repair for several years before selling it to me. The car has 140,000 which is nothing for a automatic transmission Toyota Corolla. After purchase new tires and a new set of spark plugs were all that were needed. I had to install a FM bluetooth reciver. Messing up the dash with a new stereo just seems wrong. It dose the job. Let me say the some what low marks I have given this car in some areas are due to driving preferences not quality. My driving experiences of choice are manual transmissions wrapped in near 40 year old bodys and British!

It gives you the bang for your money

If you are looking for a car that is economically feasible and dependable, this is your car. It is not the luxurious type, but it is comfortable enough. My car is aged, so I can’t say much about the features. What I will say though, is The fact that you are not going to be disappointed as far as gas mileage, dependability, longevity, and thus much less repair cost if you keep up with your regular maintenance.

Toyota forever!

In short, it is great on mileage! All you have to do is onetime tuning and take it to the shop if needed. My 2003 Corolla (bought in 2002) has 212000 miles. I did change the axles, started and alternator and hope to make another 150000! I know Toyota brand for many years. as a matter of fact, I assembled them at TMMK (Toyota Motor Manufacturing of Kentucky, it is renamed now) from 1996 till 2005. This is my second Corolla. The first one I bought in 1986.

Best Quality

Toyota is one of the most durable vehicles I’ve owned. My car is 18 years old and has over 290,000 miles, but it still runs well. Plus it never gave me any major problems over the years except for normal wear and tear. I drive to work 4 days a week 160 miles per day, and it is still hanging on with me. I try to keep up with regular maintenance and I am sure that contributes to how well and long it lasted.

Best ever car!

We have a 2003 Corolla LE we bought in 2007. We still love it and wouldn't trade it for anything. It is gas efficient, stylish, easily serviceable, and comfortable to drive. Just the thing for two old folks.

I Love my Toyota Corolla

I have had a few cars in my life time but the Toyota is the best one. It runs wonderful, it looks like a new car & it's a 2003. There isn't anything I would change on it. When I need another car I would get another Toyota.

Reliability

We have had three Toyotas in our lifetime and changed one time to a bigger car due to husband's need to have easier access to the car. The second time I changed was because I no longer needed a bigger car. And, the third time was because I wanted a little bigger car. The performance has been the same for all three cars. If I were to buy a new car I would look at no other car simply because I have had good, reliable performance from Toyota.
