Hi,
What is the general opinion about the 1.4 engine on the 2002 (and newer if I am lucky :-)) Corolla? Is it as underpowered as (for example) on the Focus? Are high-milers best avoided? Any known troublespots for the 5d hatchback? Does this car take forward the Toyota reputation?
I am looking for a *reliable* car for the wife; urban and suburban short trips with the kids at the back and about 8,000 miles a year is what it's destined for.
Thanks in advance,
Kostas
