[@SUPERNVA-gr4sr]

I owned a lot of cars ..but Corolla is the king in term of reliability

[@jcelenza_]

Not a camry??

[@bobochan4699]

1Nzfe yaris

[@enoch650]

Hi Can you explain why corolla is reliable than others please thanks

[@jgwalli2421]

​@@enoch650 avoid the 2001 and 2002 Corollas they burn a lot of oil. Even if you take care of them.

[@ponchoslappatv5358]

I had my 98 corolla since I was in high school that was 10 years ago now just hit 250k

[@briansaiditsoitmustbetrue4206]

1.8 Litre 7A-FE is the KING of reliability..... My 1998 Toyota has covered 224,500 Miles (361,000 KM) and still sounds like a Swiss watch Long live 1990s Toyota Cars.

[@kerwinnoel5518]

7AFE is the king of 1.8 and he totally didn't mention that

[@kman-mi7su]

Absolutely buy one!!! I bought a 1994 Toyota Corolla brand new and owned it for 23 years with this motor. I put 389k miles on it before I donated the car to the Salvation Army vehicle donation program. It still was running fine and drivable when I donated it. I got rid of it because by that time it was just a 3rd car and it was rusted badly as I live in the northeast (outside Philly). Those engines are as reliable as the day is long.

[@stewartsmith1947]

I put 450,000 on my 2005 Corolla . I hit a deer and we both got totaled !

[@Girlscouts81]

Did you sue the deer?

[@drpaulporras]

Damn that’s impressive. my 2005 LE only has 125k miles. This might be the only and my last car.

[@user-ps9zk3wf8b]

Hello Mr Grumpy, This John Chan the fisherman. At the moment my wife and I own six(6) TOYT, 2007 tundra 5.7, 2013 rx350, 2018 nx300, 2023 gr86, 2007 rx350, and last but not least a2009 Yaris with 155K miles on paid about 5 k $ for it. My wife, my kid and I drove the Yaris to MN. This yaris was fully loaded. Luggage at 150 lbs. This little 1.5 liter got us to the destination for approximately 1500 miles. It average at 35 to 36 mpg. At MN I checked the oil and had to add 1/4 quort of oil, that's it. As you can see, as I got older and wiser I only stick with toyt. Oh yeah my tundra has 191K on it and pull my fishing boat (22 ft) every summer. I like your video and I watch the whole clip. Thanks young man.

[@koop9286]

Hey! It was also in some Pontic vibes. My 07 Pontiac vibe base has the 1.8 Toyota and it’s my current daily with 375,000 miles

[@michaelvulcano278]

Informative video, thanks. I have an 04 Toyota Matrix I've had it for 3 years and it has 158,000 Mi on it. I change the oil every 5,000 miles with full synthetic. The oil doesn't even get dirty between oil changes. Doesn't burn so much as a drop. 20-year-old car with almost $160,000 MI. The car has no shakes or rattles or vibrations truly runs like a new car. That's all I got to know bro

[@PenguTT44-sh2oe]

I envy people who live in the south. Its a struggle living in the North East.

[@butchfajardo8832]

The most reliable Toyota engine of our time was the Toyota 5R engine, 2 liter. We had it here in the Philippines around 1970's! It was the engine of the Toyota Crown! Everyone loved it! It was so durable and reliable!

[@digibyke5898]

"130 HP - We're talking lawnmower levels here" - Please make a video about your lawnmower! 😂

[@robb15033]

I love my '08 Corolla 1.8L car with 140k miles. I put on 35k miles a year now commuting to work. Great car, 37 mtg I use Mobil1EP oil and filter every 10k mile intervals. Expect 309k miles plus no problem. Transmission has been serviced🎉 every 40k miles. Coolant fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluids changed.

[@erikgonzalez2278]

I’ll keep my 97 7afe forever love this one. I always say when I need to upgrade to a newer one I’ll get the 2016 Corolla L with the 1.8 regular auto last year of the non cvt Corolla.

[@jordandemarchi1926]

The Scion tC never had a 1.8L only the 2.4L 2AZ-FE and the 2.5L 2AR-FE

[@Gatornation2020]

@grumpymonkeygarage how about the Toyota Yaris the scion X5 and so on for the iconic 1.5 Liter 1NZ-FE naturally aspirated VVT

[@leakybandz1208]

I have a corolla ae82 sedan, which corolla engine should i put in it ? I can do the 92-95 engine for sure but was looking if any newer ones work better

[@jamesg9936]

7A-FE was one of the best. My 1995 corolla. Was in the family since 1999. Crashed in 2019. Best engine ever.

[@erikgonzalez2278]

Came here to say this love my 7afe!

[@darkrulier]

Toyota 1.8 2T and 3T was codeveloped with Yamaha and it was HEMI. Great engine!

[@pigletshut]

Toyota + Yamaha + 1.8 = LIFT Better known as 2ZZ-GE.

[@michaelw6277]

A data point to show how far the Corolla has come… a brand new Corolla with the 2.0 does 0-60 in about 8 seconds and gets over 40 MPG. 20 years ago that would have been absurd.

[@jeremygrolla2391]

I know this is not the same thing, but I have a 2003 Camry with the 2.4L and using oil like crazy, not burning. What is your opinion on this. I have 393,000 on it now.

[@kleenk8]

My 78' 20R was absolutely bullet proof. 350,000 miles on it until a freaking drunk hit it while it was parked. My friend owned a body shop, and the car was 22 years old and he knew I wanted to keep it. He told me to let it go...let it go, so off to the junk yard it went. Wipes tear from my eye.

[@barrycrosby8602]

The current 1.8 is a great engine especially for the Atkinson cycle hybrid engine which I have in the current model corrola smooth reliable and epic fuel economy I'm getting 70 mpg UK not sure what that is in US conversion but great better than anything out there on the market, thank goodness that at least one current manufacturer still remains engineering lead rather than most car manufacturers being run by pen pushing accountants

[@MikeHills-ke9zt]

Yes yes talk about reliability

[@josephpuchel6497]

Hey How about a 2010 Corolla . Did they come with 1.8 And how were they ? Nice tutorial

[@dukejukebox775]

I have a 2010 Matrix with the same 1.8 L engine and a manual gearbox as my winter beater. At the moment 200k miles, pretty much indestructible.

[@pigletshut]

Oh, the 98-99 1ZZ-FE. I drive a 99 Corolla with 2001 front end and manual swap, 24 years and counting. It does lose oil, smacked in 2 corners in its early days and showing rust. I wonder how much it's worth.

[@aurorayoru5333]

My 99 Corolla did blow brake lines because of rust other than that not much rust under the car besides fenders but under the body no major rust on the frame

[@mohawk2185]

FE s are reaĺly good too...

[@babayaga8419]

I am planning to buy Toyota crown mark ll it got 1998 cc 3y engine..will it be good?

[@ernestovasquez2102]

Can you review the new 2024 Corolla Hybrid LE FWD

[@Tony-ee9ke]

Just got one last week

[@brianheying4478]

My 2001 focus wagon has 182k miles and still going

[@rick3784]

Is there a big difference between the Japanese and American made 1.8? I have an 03 Japanese Corolla with a 04 American made engine. It runs super rich but the computer trims the fuel (-40 long term) and it runs great other than a slight rough idle, 35-40 hwy mpg. Changed plugs, O2 sensors, MAF sensor, and fuel pressure regulator, and checked for vacuum leaks, all to no avail. So I took it to a mechanic who was at a loss because of the engine swap done before I bought it.

[@NERDLYFE-es9ef]

Did you check the valves?

[@prestooooo]

There’s surprisingly a lot of early 2000 focus around me probably manuals

[@montanahelp2169]

My son recently hit a deer with my 2005 corolla. It got 38mph at 75 mph and didn’t burn a drop of oil. The car is totaled but I’m keeping it to put the engine / transmission in a donor car. What is your opinion of either a Vibe/matrix to put the engine in?

[@GrumpyMonkeyGarage]

Matrix and vibe are fantastic cars, I do think the exhaust is different so make sure it has the old exhaust on the matrix when you swap it. I don't usually swap platforms but I do know when you price a long block they're the same.

[@slowyota_rolla]

Everything is different after the downpipe, the header and the cats would be the same.

[@montanahelp2169]

Thank you!

[@KevinMiller-lh9ur]

Bought a 98 and got 33 mpg all day long in local traffic, nearly 40 mpg on highway.

[@chanakaweerasinghe1505]

What about nissan QG15 engine

[@richardm.441]

I have a 2013 corolla 1.8 with 143k miles.. The dealer said it is leaking from the timing chain tensioner. It looks like this is a common problem with the 1.8L since there are so many videos on youtube about it. It is losing about 1 qt every 5 k miles. Is it worth trying to fix it? Or are trying to fix oil leaks on older cars like playing wack a mole?

[@markpavletich747]

It’s an easy fix. Cheap o ring. Not hard to get at on a hoist.

[@rongendron8705]

In 1977, the Toyota Corolla was classified as the greatest car made that year! I believe that it had the 1.8L engine!

[@PancakeOWOTM]

what about the 4AFE in the 1997 toyota corolla ce, i know its a 1.6 liter but there great. i actually currently have a 1.6 4AFE 1997 corolla and that engine still at 179k miles and it doesnt burn anymore fuel then the new ones do.

[@erikgonzalez2278]

You have a long way to go lol my 7afe has 340k miles and like he said it gets tired mine smokes a bit but doesn’t leak a lot of oil just the seals are tired.

[@PancakeOWOTM]

@@erikgonzalez2278 yes finally another AFE owner that really drives his car I appricate you man for telling me, it makes me feel like im the only mf out here lmao 😂

[@erikgonzalez2278]

@@PancakeOWOTM lol foreal there’s not many left for sure I mean I see them around but not like everyday. Shit feels like a tank as always and won’t break. Oh how I’d love to have a low mileage AFE Engine lol. I have a lot of people ask me is this your first car lmao I’m like nope it’s my daily driver I put 40k miles last year on it for gig work even though I have newer cars.

[@soreskr1228]

What about 2zr fae

[@SpacedOdyssey]

Here's my 4AGE Powered 1991 - 4AGE Best Engine in the World kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp2TfKusqqimjbc

[@infernoking7504]

I believe 5sfe is the best or the toyota diesel in the hylux

[@PocketPanda420]

I live near Detroit. We know the focus sucks. We still see them everywhere here.😂

[@teddobol]

Ill take the old 3tc 1.8

[@mohnnadmercedes8246]

Also Toyota 2TR 2.7 in light trucks are indestructible

[@indiyahb2165]

Anybody know where i can find a motor mines blew out, ive been looking around for 98 corolla le

[@indiyahb2165]

@grumpymonkeygarage

[@NERDLYFE-es9ef]

Let it go

[@00788]

Can that engine fit in a 2016 Kia Soul

[@lorenipsum93]

XD

[@elgatogordo9523]

Had a 1989 Corolla RS and gave to my step son in 2009 after purchasing a new 2009 Corolla. Drove the 09 for 11 years until this drunk butthead decided not to stop for a red light at an intersection. T-Boned me on the passenger side and only God’s grace I was by alone at the time. She was totaled and had almost 300,000 miles on the clock. She was easy to maintain and only replaced the water pump, alternator, struts, and regular maintenance and that’s it!

[@FazeCaliph]

Hate living in the rust belt

[@nestorchavez2946]

1.8 engine for corolla 1983 is best toyota engine.

[@tombeck2792]

Kinda like a Saturn SL2 car engine

[@el-media6434]

Then they should haven't made another engine since it's so reliable.

[@phreakyzeke5824]

2zzge +6 speed with 230k

[@Breadmansgarage]

22r was the best hands down

[@tobiasmendez4389]

I just discovered your channel, I thought it was very good, but it would be great if you responded to the messages. I'm glad to know your girlfriend has a 9th Gen Corolla E120. At home (Neuquén, Patagonia Argentina 🇦🇷) we have one, year 2007 with the 1ZZ-FE that you mentioned, but 5 speed manual. Here, when choosing a used car, people usually buy manual ones to avoid future problems, since there are few owners who provide proper maintenance for an automatic transmission, not to mention that they are more expensive in every way, from maintenance to requiring the ATF and specific filter, until repairs (in the worst case). Greetings! Acabo de descubrir tu canal, me pareció muy bueno, pero seria genial si respondieras los mensajes. Me alegra saber que tu novia tiene un Corolla de 9° Gen. E120. En casa (Neuquén, Patagonia Argentina 🇦🇷) tenemos uno, año 2007 con el 1ZZ-FE que mencionaste, pero manual de 5 vel. Acá las personas a la hora de elegir un auto usado suelen comprarlos manuales para evitar futuros problemas, ya que son pocos los propietarios que le brindan un correcto mantenimiento a una caja automática, sin mencionar que son mas caras en todo sentido, desde el mantenimiento al requerir el ATF y filtro específico, hasta las reparaciones (en el peor de los casos). Saludos!

[@captainjosue]

Oil leaks are just sweat from all the horsepower and reliability from these 1.8L

[@boostkash2640]

Corollas are generally boring but my 1998 corolla GT is a blast to drive. Equaling super car hp production at 165 hp on a 1.6 liter engine yea 100 hp/ l and revving past 8000 rpm . This is the best Corolla made to date.

[@mohawk2185]

Isnt ironic that i 40 to 50 yeaŕs , TOYOTAS has had the top motors and they found out about ot iñ the 90s....ugly cars , durability you can count on....90s slogan for TOYOTAS if i remember correctly

[@theoriginalmungaman]

The 1zz fe is complete junk in my opinion! From the late 90’s to 2005! They will use a quart of oil every 300 miles after you get 50,000 (if you get) you obviously never owned one! The timing chains always have trouble, the vvt system is junk which started in 2000 by the way. Your lying about your gas mileage too! Do some research on the 2000-2005 1.8 disaster!

[@timothykeith1367]

1ZZ is okay with 5,000 mile oil changes.
