What can people say about this car? As the search button has gone on summer holidays i can't see what people have already said? As i am not a fan of the focus (dont ask) and i dont want another vauxhall, jap cars are supposed to have good reliability yar?

So what sort of bashing will fox dish out then?

Assuming you mean the 51 onwards model? If so they are decent enough cars. Not really a drivers car but as A to B transport they do the job. as you say reliable too. Decent spec ones (T3, T-Spirit) come with a decent amount of kit for that type of car and if buying second hand won't cost you a huge amount more.

Ah, seen as you have recently changed your motor (or are trying to) did you look at one of these then?

Kind of. I did a little bit of digging on them when we were thinking of changing Janes car. We've decided to stick with her current one at the moment (well truth be told I spent all our money on my Octavia

) so we've put that on hold for now.

Is a definate contender when the time comes though as it fits her criteria perfectly.

If you want a car that's okay to drive, handles normally, is comfortable, gets you about without breaking down and generally does what a car should do, then the Corolla is for you.

We have a Corolla T3 in our family. I can't sum it up better than timbob. Its more of a generic a->b car. Nothing really stands out at all, inside or out, even in the T3.

Just brought a T Sport and it does exactly what it says on the tin, quickly
