adam_r Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 Our 2002 corolla is becoming a bit long in the tooth and my wife's new job has meant we will need 2 cars in the new year. We will keep the corolla whilst it still drives, however at 166k miles it's starting to drink oil which is a common problem with the 1.4 vvti engines... Shame as it has been a cracking work horse. Anyway, I spotted this on auto trader and it caught my eye. Full service history, only 40k miles and it's impeccable inside and out. It wasn't cheap at North of £12k, but it should last for a long time!. It's a 2.0 petrol and has got a fair few toys inside including a bose audio system, memory seats and other bits and bobs, however it doesn't come with the travel pack that has radar and adaptive cruise control which is a little disappointing. Hoping to give it a proper clean and polish when I get it later in the week to improve the depth of the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 I really like that and a great colour 😁 It does seem expensive for an 8 year old car but with the used market being like it is I guess that's expected. What's the mpg going to be like with petrol being so expensive now? I'm struggling to get 20mpg out of the Accord now! Hopefully this engine is more refined. I miss my old Corolla T Sport, that was a good car 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 I like the 6... They do have an adjustable chassis but rarely needs adjusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted December 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Thanks Tony. I have read they look like to eat lower wishbone bushings, is there anyway I can slow this or prevent it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep It was expensive, but 40k miles and fsh.... Its like a brand new car. Our corolla has developed a bottom end knock and I have no idea how long it will last...
