2001 Toyota Corolla LE 5MT Start Up, Quick Tour, & Rev With Exhaust View - 103K 

Bought a 00 corolla for 800 with like 264k and still one of the best decisions I've made

If its not your car, why are you peeling pieces off of it? I understand that its worn out pieces but thats quite ignorant.

kk man heres the deal..... you dont buy this car for luxury. its a nice a to b car that will never let you down. you sat in 6 cars that didnt start but only a corolla will aha

One of the last best toyotas

This is actually a very good car. Nice to drive, and the interior is really nice. I don't understand all the hate it gets.

i have the same 01 LE with 237k miles and still drives like the day i bought it...If you take care of your car, give it regular maintenance and don't over rev for unnecessary purposes it should last a very long time.

I own one and got it from the first owner who drove it for 8 years before I bought it and i have also drove it for 8 years plus, total life span now is 16 years and the car is still very strong,I love this car.

Just bought a 2001 corolla, although not so in perfect condition but i love it so much haha

i paid $900 for my 02 corolla, i bought it for a 2nd commuter car, i like the $20-$25 fill ups now its my daily

Just got this car and i'm loving it. Speakers were nice to me, driving it is si much fun, i never want to get out lol

I have the same year in auto (family car) it's the most reliable car my family has owned, especially with 300,000Kms. nothing wrong with it other than standard wear and tear.Only thing I don't like is how slow it feels.

I have a same generation 1999 Corolla with 111,000 miles for £800 - very quiet, no smoke, near immaculate interior and exterior, starts first time, silky smooth 4-speed auto.

well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I personally have owned and/or driven several toyotas, and I have yet to find a toyota that is unreliable. I don't have much experience with the newer models, but every toyota I've been in has always had a great quality interior, and they have all been very reliable. The interiors weren't too fancy, but they were durable. they're very good cars in my opinion.

Man I miss this car. I had it for about a year and then ended up totaling it :( Now I'm stuck with a 93 Buick Lesabre Limited.

It's a good car, one of the last good Corollas made.

I'm 5'7'' and fit just fine. No need to slide the driver's seat all the way back

I paid2000 for my 01. it's grate the only thing is it makes a little noise from the inside when I'm driving. and the inside doors need a lil fix gas is $20 for full tank $10 for half

I have this car, bought used at about 170,000 mi......have done some minor repairs and maintenance, but so far so good. It is a bit compact inside as far as space goes. I have the automatic version of this model.

@Intechdude300 And these engines used timing chains too, while the civic used belts. The chains in these corollas are truly lifetime, and my buddy had only a quart of oil in his engine when he bought it at 350K miles too. They take abuse well for sure!

i have the 2000 4spd-auto, i can agree the interior tends to fail. the door lining as you mentioned tends to warp over time in the sun. i have actually ripped all that trim out of the driver's side front and it's fine because it's painted white beneath. also had to remove the weather stripping in the driver side front because it had warped. i actually replaced it with a memory-foamish weather stripping from home depot, not the prettiest but works great lol. I also had to replace the window regulator for the front driver, since it was becoming slow and requiring 3 attempts over 10 minutes to get it to fully close due to high friction---the factory grease tends to turn to sludge or disappear besides some corrosion. i cleaned the original and it might have worked ok for another 5 yrs but i bought a new one anyway. passenger front window will need the same thing soon. i've replaced all inside door handles. replaced 1 outside door handle because i broke it off one morning when it was cold and door iced shut. replaced both cup holders. i cleaned out the driver window/door electric control unit with WD40, because the buttons were sticking from whatever crap got in there over time. i've replaced dome light and dash lights. the headliner ceiling fabric is falling down everywhere and the door panel fabrics are coming loose so i'll need to glue something else up there soon. it tends to disintegrate in your fingers like you said. that's about it for interior. besides interior, i've performed routine maintenance under the hood, which i'm usually good about. but, a spark plug coil slowly became loose over time which i didn't realize for about 5k miles. it started causing cyl-3 misfires, but my check engine light has been on since 2007 so i didn't notice. eventually it became extremely obvious and i fixed it. my motor may have been damaged a bit because now it sounds a little more raspy than it did prior. regardless, 160k and going strong. it is pretty ugly, though... i used to drive an 01' focus 10yrs ago and i must say it was pretty damn fun to drive until i wrecked it :(

The automatic on this corolla was a step up than the 3 speed auto that came in the 93-97 corolla.

The spoiler paint failing on a 01 corolla my 95 maxima has a spoiler also it's in awesome condition no dents scratchs or faded one I saw a 2011 Corolla with fading paint

I use to have this car back in 2001 and it was a great car never gave me problems until the day i sold it in 2006 except for the trim pice on the doors. I totally forgot the map lights were on the rear view mirror. Bought a 2007 Scion tC it was a nicer car but definitely didn’t hold up as well af my corolla did after 5 years. My Aunt still has a 2002 corolla S and its still in great condition and runs great, though she doesn’t really drive it that much.

Mine is a 2000 it does not have a tachometer...

Had this generation as my first car, was a 2000 VE with a 3 speed auto lmao, loved that car though. Sold it with 253k for $400 with a cylinder 4 misfire but none the less I miss the car!

I just got this car but the ce version (5spd)does anyone find the gas pedal really touchy? Also my car barely moves forward when I'm letting the clutch out in 1st

the 1995-2002 Toyota Corolla was assembled in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada: Adapazari, Turkey Fremont, California Toyota City, Japan Durban, South Africa Indaiatuba, Brazil Santa Rosa, Laguna, Philippines Cikarang, Indonesia Zárate, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina Chachoengsao, Thailand

this was the generation where the corolla shared the same platform with the chevy prizm.

I got the same car now it won’t turn on the guy I bought it from knows how to do the trick but I try turning it on and key just won’t turn right

I have on and it's the best

I still would take this one over the brand new one and the one after this. But, the best one (in my opinion) is the generation before this. This one is OKAY.

Great cars easy and cheap to fix. Look for rust ( body and brake lines before buying). These engines can be oil burners. Look for p420 code ( expensive to repair) Not fast or nice but will out last any car from same year.

I think I'd be better off with a 97 or earlier. I don't think i'd mind the auto, but i'll definitely look for a manual. don't want to pay alot for insurance and want something parkable, super-low maintenance, and somewhat comfy

Woe woe woe. aha. I have this exact Corolla and it PULLS... he said noisy? lmao. Bro two words MUFFLER DELETE it's a bolt on took me like 5 min and it's still too quiet.

That the best car.more realible than a new Audi belive me.

Nice car, i personally think the corollas from the 90s are better, because my mom had a 94 corolla once and the only issue we ever had with it was that the window was smashed by some guy trying to steal it, but it was a good car otherwise

@Intechdude300 Doesn't this Corolla have ALMOST the same amount of HP as the new one ?

This Corolla is freakin mint

Yes!! finally i wanted your opinion on the 98-whatever corolla, i knew the interior fell through

you had a 1 in a million experience, so that means that all toyotas are crap. No other company competing with toyota back then ever offered a better quality car. They will go 200,000+Kms with no problems, and the interior is very well made.

Agreed

I bought one today with 60k miles carfaxed and 2001

This car is sooooooooo beige!!!!

I like it I like the manual car

and it is fast

it would be funny if someone walked up and stole ur iphone while u were doing a rev

@yellowcow13 The first Foci were the most recalled cars in history. Other than the sludging issues these cars were considerably more durable... So Definitely when they were new... but now? Not so much.

What did people put in that tiny storage area ?

*que precio tiene ese vehiculo gracias saludos*

@Intechdude300 Agreed, the 93-97 was a better car, but the 98-01 Corolla is still a better car than the 96-00 civic in terms of durability in my personal experience. But for economy car driving enjoyment and handling prowess, the Civic and Protege take the Corolla to the cleaners :P At any rate, this car is MUCH too tiny for me to feel secure traveling on a freeway at 80+ MPH with raised pickups driving next to me and 18 wheelers trying to run me off the road haha!

This dude is all about false info.

Would you say this is as reliable as a 98 Civic?

nice i have 2000 corolla but my engine is fine now it starts

I think I may have purchased this exact vehicle recently. Do you happen to know the last few of the vin? It's always cool to know where it's been. I think it is based on the same color, spoiler clear coat, and same exact aftermarket radio.

@talldude123 I really like the generation before this one

nice around town but very uncomfortable...i'm 6"0 so i don't fit comfortably in these at all.

Scotty told me to get this car to I’m going to get it luckily that car isn’t sporty like now days because I hate spots car.

Driver don't need oshit handle cause he have to grab the wheel with two hands

To be honest, I cannot really see why you did this video. You've spent almost all of it going through what you consider to be the negatives of the car. You're obviously prejudiced. Your prejudices aren't actually what most people want to know in something that purports to be a review.

Do you have a Bias towards American cars?

Buenos dias, en cuanto lo vende?

@viperdude1298 Could have been road garbage. think about that? Apparently not.

@talldude123 It's a little weird how they add dual vvti to the new one and nothing really happens. I have a Tacoma 4.0. The materials are full of plastics but not the kind of plastics found in the Corolla, Venza, Sienna, Rav4, ETC. No problems with the engine, it's so refined compared to Nissan's V6. SHIeet, I hope they don't ruin the 2014 Tacoma .Funny how most of Toyota's cars/vehicles are perfectly fine, then they're ruined by a redesign.

do you not like toyota or something

And your a real pessimist.

Sorry man I want to guy this car but im in saudi Arabia And Masshallah im toyota prado 2010

Beautiful 🌷

@Intechdude300 It depends. The corolla has a MUCH more reliable automatic transmission over the 96-2000 Civic that has excellent shift quality by comparison. The Corolla also doesn't have problems with power lock actuators going out regularly, among other minor hardware issues. I'm a Honda guy, but I will admit that this gen Corolla is a tank. I personally know someone with a 98 Corolla with over 400K miles. Yes, you read that right, over 400K! Smooth as hell, original engine and tranny.

i can understand you opinion to but its just that i have been in lots of toyotas and most i found very uncomfortable or unreliable however, there is one i absolutley not complain about, the 2000-2003 toyota avalon very comfy and reliable i couldnt find anything wrong or not to my liking about it i wish we never got rid of it

The engine's buzziness in this gen corolla doesn't bother me as much as the next gen

These cars save alot of gas very aerodynimical

it will beat all of yalls cars everyone that commented !!!!!!!!

So many complaints🙄

I'm incredibly tired, so for awhile I thought this was for a mid-90s Corolla and thought the quality wasn't terribad. But then I realized it's a 2001 and :I.

Learn how to rev a car

is that a female talking you don't sound like a man

Is that Michael Jackson's twin

i highly disagree, and please forgive the misspelling my little brother was crying :/

@corvettekid224 I wouldn't say the same either. Parents had an 04 sienna XLE Limited and the transmission died out at 96K... really sad

@CadillacEscaladelove Haha I mentioned that too in one of Intechdude300's Corolla videos. That Toyota4life idiot is one messed up individual.

If you want a perfect car go and buy a new one problably if you finísh paid for it by the time you end payment the car want work plus you will have a big debt.

#2001toyotacorrla

Bet they want like 5 grand. also this is the gayest car review I’ve ever seen.

Auto isnt that bad

im being serious, where are the cup holders

i have a V10 2019 dodge Viper GT

Damn you complain a lot...idk if you've been poor or haven't had much, but this is just an econocar. If your looking for luxury or style, try the Avalon...Someone would be grateful to have this car yet you just moan the entire video

Wow back then it was actually a pretty good little car! Now its a pathetic pos.

Toyota started to fail after this year

Yea it sucks! Thanks

Interior = Shit Engine = Shit Auto Transmission = Shit Toyota = Shit. Any Toyota around 1998 - present is not worth the money. They are poorly designed. If you want a foreign car go with a Nissan, Honda, or Volkswagen. But me myself I am more partial to American cars :)

this car is total crap

Buenos dias, en cuanto lo vende?
