About 2004 Toyota Corolla
Overview
The 2004 Toyota Corolla was mostly unchanged from the previous year, when it was completely redesigned.
The 2004 Toyota Corolla came with one engine, an aluminum 1.8-liter four-cylinder with 130-horsepower. Fuel economy was about 28-40 mpg. The 2004 Corolla came in three trim levels, staring with the base CE, which came with features such as a CD player, air conditioning, and power steering. The sporty S came with identifying features such a spoiler, larger tires and integrated fog lights, along with interior features like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear shift knob. The top-of-the-line LE came with high-end features like remote keyless entry and faux-wood accents.
Owners of the 2004 Toyota Corolla like that it is easy to drive and maintain, and that it comes with typical Toyota reliability. Some drivers still find the interior to be too small, and many recommend upgrading the tires. Shorter drivers complain that the steering wheel is difficult to reach.

I love this car. It is everything a car should be; smooth, nimble, roomy, has amazing speakers, reliable, easy to drive, unmatched viability, quick, fun, safe, looks great, and a fantastic daily driver. Needless to say, this is a great car to learn to drive in, and great to have a first car, or a regular car. It has very nice acceleration for a V4, and looks good on the outside. It never requires maintenance and will run forever. Brakes are above average and are tight with great stopping power. The only slight complaint I have with this vehicle is the noise for the engine that you can hear on the interior. It is kind of noisy, but still, not enough to make me annoyed or upset whatsoever.

I love everything about this car. It runs like a charm. It has a great heater and air conditioner and the seats are comfortable. Reliability and Toyota reputation makes this car the best value on the road. 90% of Corollas built since 1990 are still running.

It sounds like a motorcycle, and the ABS is terrible - the brakes locked on me on 3 separate occasions. It's a wonder I never wrecked this car. The car's built solid otherwise, which is what you expect from a Toyota.
