    eveytime i see this car i cant help but start crying. all the childhood memories come in, i used to live in portugal on a island called madeira, and we had this car there, everytime i see it i get flooded with memories and this car is one of them, i get very sad because im probably never gonna able to see it again since i moved to brazil.. this video hits specially hard because the driving scenery and the music reminds me of portugal aswell..

    I have a '99 corolla she's a beater but I wouldn't have any other car other than another Toyota . You can beat the hell out of then they keep going as long as you maintain them . I loaned mine to someone who took it out of state drove it back no clutch no oil and 5 yrs later my car is running great !

    Lovely, I now have a blue 1999 Corolla 1.6 Auto Liftback, only 112,000 miles, almost new timing belt, and I love it. Very reliable, fast and economical enough, lovely sporty lines and the front smiles. At a distance slightly reminiscent of a Subaru Impreza. The quintessential Toyota Corolla, and one with personality.

    Bought mine at the beginning of 2020. First hand owner sold it due to retirement of driving.
    It's a 1999 and when I got it it was about just a little over 100000km. All serviced at Toyota. No rust no nothing.
    Just put new brakes, new timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, break fluid and an oil change.
    It's running like a champ. For sure I gonna keep it until the wheels fall off.
    It's "pure" driving and a very reliable car.
    Even economical: I get 5.3 l/100 km. Even with highway speed up to 150km I never get over 7.6 l/100 km.
    It's pretty good for a 21 year old car.

    Hi, we received our Corolla station wagon (1999 model) as a gift 6 years ago. It was an elderly pensioner whose husband had died a few years earlier. The Corolla had 60,000 km on the clock. Since then, 3x general inspections without any defects. At the beginning of this year we spent 1000 euros on a major inspection. Since then, average consumption has been 6.5 liters/100km. Great car! It is an incredibly reliable car and now has 90,000 km on the clock. We live in Germany.

    I own a 2001 Chevrolet Prizm sedan (read "saloon") which is basically a Corolla with some styling tweaks in addition to the rebadging. But I sort of like the front end styling of this version better, and am a little jealous.
    Since I bought it in 2003 I've driven over 100,000 miles in it and it's done everything I've asked of it. If I can get another 11 years of driving it I'll be very happy.

    I got a clean black G6 compact facelift with the 110hp vvti engine for 2500€ last year (140.000Km) it's extremely reliable and a blast to drive. It peaked at (a very scary) 215 kph when I drove it home from bavaria to Hamburg. The car felt like it was going to lift off at around 180 kph. Have since then replaced the stock R14/175 wheels with R15/195 on Oz Superturismo and It feels way more stable at high speeds and in corners now. Also, With the bigger tires the car peaks at around 205 kph now which is fine ;). Also got an Ulter sports exhaust because the car was way too quiet.
    There are 1-2 decent G6's per year on german craigslist (ebay-kleinanzeigen) but they are still around in europe and for some reason you can get them on the cheap (even G6R's are still not that expensive at around 4000€ if you can find one) fuel economy is great, around 7 L/100 km combined. Also the sporty interior of the G6 and the super tight 6 speed manual are just lovely.

    I have 2, both wagons. Very good, economical and especially reliable vehicles even at 20+ years of age now. Though most people dont really raise an eyebrow for a corolla. Not until theres a winter storm and my other one is a rare 4wd :D Just beats the shit out of most other cars, even "awd" when their traction controls kicks in after the smallest wheelspin. They move nowhere while i take off with a short slide and disappear very quickly while their engine power is reduced to 3hp to prevent wheel slip.
