Toyota Corolla Hatchback 1.3 XLi 5d (1995/M) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Not many extras for the price, but holds its value well.
Costs
Goes miles on hardly any petrol. Servicing, parts and insurance - less said the better!
-
On the road
Driving
Excellent steering, good visibility and brakes - very predictable car.
Performance
Surprisingly quick acceleration.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Not let me down (yet!) in three years. Central locking can be "sticky".
Image
I think I'm the youngest person I've ever seen driving one - bit of a granny car!
Comfort
Brilliant around town but strained and noisy on long motorway journeys.
-
Security and Service
Security
No alarm/immobiliser. One break-in and one attempted.
Service
Always friendly and helpful, but servicing and parts are so expensive.
