CarComplaints.com Notes: There must have been something in the water at the plant where they built the eighth generation Corollas, especially the 1998 and 1999 model years.
Outside of a few engine related issues for the 1999, these are about as dependable a car as you’ll find. And remember most of these cars have 200k miles on them by now. But good luck finding one; owners say they want a new car, but can’t justify trading in their Corolla because the darn thing just keeps rolling.

My engine failed while driving on I 95. Lack of oil to the engine because of a broken timing chain was the stated cause. Oil had been recently changed and when checked was full on the dipstick. Milage 64,000. Manual recomends checking the timing chain at 80,000 miles.
