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.

1999 Toyota Corolla Owner Comments

Corolla 4-cyl

Oil light came on at $60,000, kept loosing oil even though I had regular oil changes at the dealership. Found out car is burning oil and it is going to cost me $750 to replace valve seals (which may or may not fix problem). Toyota will not cover this because warranty time is up. I will never buy another Toyota!!!
