The Jeep was repoed November of last year (during a bk). I did have a 1990 Suburban, but since hubby lost his 02 Ram and we needed a pickup truck, we used the Suburban as a down payment on a 1994 Chevy. I was driving a 94 Escort, sold it about a week ago, it was starting to have problems and I didn't want to put money into it.
Anyway, that's the reader's digest version, its really a long story.
I'm just excited about the new car, I haven't had a brand new car since 2001 when we leased the Jetta.....I miss that car, but couldn't justify another one, too pricey and not reliable enough.
Glad to hear your parents are happy with their Corolla, I'm sure I will be happy with mine too.
Hurry up May 28!!!!

Great little car - no problems in 2 yrs -
My Corolla S is being built in 16 day.......should have it around the end of May I *hope*. This 83 Cherokee is for the birds.
Honda's approach has always made more sense to me, but there are people who don't like the idea of no options at all...take your pick...
I plan to take the car back to the dealer, but would like to know if anyone has had this problem? I searched this discussion before posting my message, but did not find any problems similar to mine. Thanks in advance for whatever assistance you can provide.
You need to get very precise in your description of the noise, its duration, and conditions that cause it - a good dealership will try to take it from there. But I have to be frank with you: your description sounds like nothing I have ever heard before short of a wheel that is about to fall off, and it's obvious that isn't the case...
Other possible candidates: a strut that is loose, a bad suspension bushing...but these things would be apparent not just on braking. I'm mystified...
They replaced the chain, tensioner, gears, and also put in new valve seals and piston rings since they had to measure the pistons to make sure they were in spec - basically rebuilt the top end of the engine.
All in all, very good service, and they went beyond what was necesary to fix the problem.
I still want a Corolla, but with my bad knee and bad back I can't stand the driving position, its painful for me. If I get wind that Toyota is going to fix that for 04 I'll hold out on buying a car. Right now we are looking at June for buying, we were hoping for May, but oh well.
Just gonna have to fiddle with that seat to make it work.
If you aren't happy with it now, you probably will be less so when you have made the last payment!
Toyota M of NA, hoping you get w/the times and do something about this issue.

Congratulations on your purchase!
Akan, congrats on what sounds like a good solution for you.
I need to convince the wife why the Elantra is better, or perhaps you folks can convince me why I should get the Corolla.
However, I am thinking of trading in the car for a 1998 Celica which I found a great deal on. My originally intended to purchase a Celica but couldn't find one on the market meeting my requirements.
Ah well, I'm just glad we found an 01 that's in good shape, hard to do here in Alaska. Of course with our driveway like it is right now if I'm not careful I won't have much of a car left.

superman-Last time I checked, there arent many people cross shopping Corollas and C-classes. I would say that the kind of person wanting a tilt/telescopic steering wheel in a Corolla is a reasonable, prudent person probably one looking to maximize satisfaction and value of the dollar from a car he or she likes. How much would it really cost Toyota to add a tele mech. on at least S and LEs?
sandman- if it helps, the Corolla is currently in its 14th month of model year 2003.

I drove a '03 Corolla LE in Miami this week and was reminded of its good points (smooth ride, smooth engine, smooth paint, big trunk) and its bad points (uncomfortable driving position, rotten-egg smell, lack of niceties like map lights, so-so pickup with automatic). For the person comparing the Corolla to the Elantra--be sure you and every other driver of the car takes a long test drive in each before you decide.
