Toyota Corolla Reliability
Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Toyota Corolla rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?
TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."
The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Toyota Corolla reliability information based on owner experiences through June 30, 2010:

Want another perspective? Since 1999, Michael Karesh, the developer of TrueDelta, has contributed reviews to Epinions,
where he is one of two people who oversee the autos section.

Note: The older the review, the more likely it has become outdated owing to more recently introduced competitors.
Toyota Corolla Tire Reviews
The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Toyota Corolla tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Toyota Corolla--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.
The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
