so, I’ve had my share of used Corollas, and let me tell ya, there are a few things you gotta watch for. First off, sometimes the transmission can be a bit weird. I once had one that would slip like it was trying to do a dance move. not fun at all.
then there’s the brakes. like, seriously, they can squeak louder than my neighbor’s dog. And if the rotors are warped, good luck stopping smoothly.
also, check for rust, especially if you live somewhere with winter salt. I bought one once that looked great until I found rust under the door. And that was not cute.
oh, and don’t forget about the engine oil. some used cars don’t get regular oil changes. what’s the deal with that?
have you guys seen other issues like weird sounds or strange lights? let’s swap stories, could be helpful.
Had a 2009 Corolla in California and it was solid but man the transmission started to slip around 120k miles. I’ve heard about the engine mounts going too. Not a deal breaker but good to check before buying. Super reliable otherwise.
I had a 2005 Corolla for a while and it really struggled with transmission issues around 100k miles in Toronto.
Honestly they’re super reliable but those tiny oil leaks can get annoying. Just keep an eye out.
I ve had my eye on Corollas for a while especially living in the snowy parts of Canada I’ve noticed they can struggle a bit with rust issues and suspension wear but overall they hold up pretty well. Just keep an eye on those spots.
had a 2005 corolla in Canada and it was pretty solid but the transmission started acting weird at 180k miles so watch for that.
also the paint can fade badly.
Had a used Corolla in Chicago and it was decent but I’ve had issues with the transmission sometimes slipping at high mileage I guess the paint faded quick too not that bad for a reliable ride though.
I remember my buddy in Toronto bought a used Corolla and it was a solid ride at first. But then he started having these weird electrical problems like the windows going down on their own. I’ve heard others complain about worn out suspension too. It’s kinda hit or miss honestly. Keep an eye on those things.
so I bought a used Corolla in Toronto a few years back and I’ve gotta say transmission issues popped up faster than I expected.
also I’ve noticed a lot of people complaining about the rust especially in places with harsh winters like Canada.
I’ve been lucky but it’s good to check undercarriage out. don’t let the price fool you.
overall decent car but do your homework before jumping in.
I’ve had my share of used Corollas in New York and let me tell you maintenance costs can creep up real quick
Timing belt transmission issues and sometimes weird suspension noises pop up
had a 2007 Corolla in Texas and it had weird transmission issues I ve seen others say the same thing rust can be a killer up north too watch for that 
I’ve had my Corolla for a while and honestly those head gasket issues can be a pain. I found a good mechanic in Toronto who really helped. Watch out for that.
Overall it’s been pretty reliable though.
ive had my corolla for a couple of years now in Toronto and it’s been decent but watch out for those rusty brake lines. that’s no fun.
I ve had my used Corolla for a year now and honestly the transmission has been a bit shaky. Kinda expected though.
Also I noticed the trunk doesn’t close right sometimes like it has a mind of its own. But hey these things just add character right?
I had a used Corolla in Toronto and it was pretty solid but man the suspension started making weird noises after a year. I’ve heard others mention the oil consumption thing too. Just gotta check the service records I guess.
Overall it held up fine for commuting but those quirks can be annoying.
I once had a 2007 Corolla in Ohio and the brakes started squeaking like a haunted house. I’ve heard bad things about the rust issues too especially in colder areas.
The fuel efficiency was great but I’ve seen a lot of others struggle with head gasket problems over time.
had a used Corolla in Ohio that gave me some trouble with the transmission it slipped a few times scary stuff honestly
I ve heard from buddies that the suspension can be a bit wonky too especially if the previous owner didn’t take care of it
other than that they’re pretty solid just keep an eye on those commonly overlooked issues
I’ve had a 2007 Corolla in Seattle and I can say coolant leaks are kinda common. Mine had that issue after a few years and it was a pain.
Ive heard the older models like to rust too especially around the wheel wells. Just keep an eye on that. Overall they can be reliable but some quirks to watch for.
I drove a used Corolla in Toronto for a year and it was mostly cool but man the transmission started acting funny after a few months
Heard about people having issues with the oil consumption too
brakes wear down faster than expected
Not terrible cars but def check those things first if you can
I ve had my hands on a used Corolla in Toronto and lemme tell ya it’s a mixed bag I’ve seen rust issues especially if the previous owner was into winter driving. The brake pads wear out quicker than I’d like and the engine can be a bit noisy at times but hey it still gets me where I need to go.
Battery life tends to be a thing too Just keep an eye on it.
ive owned a used corolla for a few years now up in Ontario and Ive noticed some things. check the rust around the wheel wells and the engine light often comes on for weird reasons. but overall they just keep going.
