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 makes rattling noise since it reached 30,000 miles. The noise only comes for first 10 minutes when the car is cold. I reported this problem to carousel Toyota, pa during warranty period. Since at that time the noise did not come they could fix it as noise only comes when car is cold. Now my car is out of warranty and engine still makes rattling noise.
