Pros: power, good gas mileage, dependable, It's blue!
Cons: poor leg room in back, trunk lock
The Bottom Line: This Baby Blue has me sold on Toyotas.
In December of ’93 I finally got to have a new car instead of my husband’s hand-me-down. Well, it wasn’t exactly new since it was the Toyota dealer’s car.
Background
I never did have "ego thing" with cars. To me they were...

Pros: Relatively Peppy, Great Gas Mileage, Dependable
Cons: Bland Styling, Expensive Replacement Parts
The Bottom Line: A great used car, especially if you take care of it.
I got my 1993 Toyota Corolla 4 years ago with 97,000 miles on the odometer. I now have 171,000 on it and it shows no signs of stopping. In fact, I doubt that my car feels much different than it did when it came off the dealer’s lot in 93. ...

Pros: Economical, reliable
Cons: No fun without a stickshift
I have already reviewed my parents' '97 Corolla, a 5 speed manual equipped car with the smaller 1.6 liter engine. Yeah, I know, a pretty gutless power-train from the sound of it, but the stickshift tranny actually makes this car scoot if you know how to...

Pros: Good Build Quality, Reliable, Nice Engine
Cons: Smaller Car, Expensive Used Car Prices
The Toyota Corolla is a very basic car. It is very similar to the Nissan Sentra and the Honda Civic. I have always thought of the Civic as the sportier of the three, and the Sentra and Corolla as the more basic and conservative cars. I think that this...

Pros: Reliable, Safe, Economical, Solid City Handling
Cons: Highway Handling, Engine Zippiness
The Bottom Line: Solid, reliable car. An especially nice match for those who will spend the majority of their time driving within city limits, transporting less than a full load of adults.
I purchased my 1993 Corolla in the Spring of 1997. It had 58,000 miles on it at that time. It now has 110,000 miles. Four door, 1.8 engine (larger than 1.6 which was standard in 1993), 5 speed manual.
1. Solid Fuel Economy-...

Pros: Reliable, great millage, fun considering what it is, doesn't look so staid or old.

The Bottom Line: A truly great car, worth every penny.
A manual, 1.8 liter 1993 Corolla DX has been in my family since it’s birth in September 1992. We were one of the first to purchase this then-new body style, and have not been let down in 11+ years of ownership. My parents gave the car to me in ...

Pros: Very well made, reliable
Cons: Itty bitty backseats
The Bottom Line: 8 years and not a single problem!
If you were looking for a sporty high performance car, I'd have to tell you that a '93 Corolla may not be exactly what you were looking for. But if you were looking for a simple, but reliable car which was nice to drive, I'd tell you to give the Corolla...

This car really has me spoiled! It will probably outlive me!! Seriously - my '93 Toyota Corolla has really been worth every cent I originally spent on it. I bought it used - in 1994. It was my first car. I read all the reviews for cars in it's class...
