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. Vehicle wasn't moving well, it was sluggish. The mechanic said the fuel injection system was clogged. A different mechanic agreed, and said the 1999 model should be using only high-test gasoline. But the owner's manual on page 129 said the gasoline must be rating 87 which was regular gas. Replaced the fuel injection system for $352.79. Toyota claim #200509220912. Updated 11/2/2005.
