CarComplaints.com Notes: There must have been something in the water at the plant where they built the eighth generation Corollas, especially the 1998 and 1999 model years.

Outside of airbag problems being reported to NHTSA, this is about as dependable a car as you’ll find. But good luck finding one; owners say they want a new car, but can’t justify trading in their Corolla because the darn thing just keeps rolling.

Soon after purchasing my used 1998 Toyota Corolla in 2001 I had to replace the driver's side mirror...the mirror would not stay in position inside the "mirror-holder". I would position it, and a week later it would be at the wrong angle. This happened again and again. Now, three years later, the same thing is happening to the passenger's side mirror. I position it and a week later it is starting to tilt down. Unfortunately this time the mirror isn't covered under a warranty so I just keep adjusting it.
