How old is your Corolla?

[Hiro]

I only just changed the ORIGINAL brake pads the other week after 285,000km of driving

Yeah I know, but I checked with my dad (he owned it before I did) and he never had the pads changed in the 220k that he drove it, and I've certainly never had them done under my watch until now. Rotors have been machined because they were warped, but the pads weren't changed (and that was only 30k or so ago).

The reason they lasted so long is that for those first 220,000km it was country driving, 300km each way with a brake at each end once a week and 50km to and from the mine each day, car was doing 1000km a week. Very little wear on the pads that way

3-4 years old. Never had a single problem with it. Levin model.

[bonbon]

rocks like being caught between the disc and rock shield...

mechanically mines got 120,000 on it and is running fine

[Smithy]

Mines a 2002/3 Levin purchased 2007 nov with about 145K klms. not spent anythi gon it other than maintenance of course.

compared to my last car a 1993 RVR with 200K on the clock which cost me just under $8000 in repairs and maintenance in the 18 months I had it ..well im absolutely impressed by the Corolla. Only problem is due to the last owner or installer of the CD player as now the fascia around the cd player and airvents there refuses to pop entirely backinto the dash.

oh also under light braking they feel a little , odd, considering the kilometres its probably pads or worn/warped slightly rotors. But under emergency braking the 6 year old ABS and EBD are awesome in the few times I've had to brake hard.

10/10 !!

[corolla.au]

No problems with my corolla so far ... touch wood.

[Armstrong]

[johnnieboi]

Had mine for almost a year now. I'd say 10 for mine too. I'd say, you look after your car.. it looks after you.

I'd give it a 10.

Almost 6 years & 80k (around 15k per year), needs a major service but i've been putting it off for the last 2 years <_<

Clutch and brakes are strong and the paint is still in very good condition despite being washed maybe two or three times a year. Inside the seats and carpets are holding up well, the a/c is ice cold and there have been no broken panels or switches or electrical faults.

Sounds like I neglect my car but then again I don't drive too often, usually once or twice a week. FWIW most of the k's were clocked up in the first few years commuting up and down the F6...

[Carts]

AE92 still going strong, only 105 000 k's on it.. but not a single problem
