General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.

MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

Corolla has proven to be the most reliable car in Canada for many years. I owned other Toyotas before and was exteremly happy with the cost of ownership over a long period of time. |

In the 64k miles I have owned this car, all that I have put into it aside from routine oil and filter changes, is a set of tires, brake pads, and a serpentine belt. |

This was the third Corolla I owned myself and the fourth I drove regularly. I am terrible about regular maintenance but I never had a serious problem. The only repairs necessary were normal wear and tear and even those were much later than expected. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 125-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Toyota is always one of the more reliable brands. I have been pretty rough with it and put a lot of miles on it, but have had very few serious problems. |

Had lots of wear on car and recent Toyota reliability reports made it risky to buy a Toyota even though I had reliable Toyota for years. Might buy one again when their are stable reliablity trend. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
I am concerned about the EPS and the new engine design. Although some have disliked the EPS, the jury is still out for me. Plus, will it be reliable long-term? Also, I have read about some oil consumption problems. Hmm ... |
