It is time for the newest instalment in that beloved cinematic automotive CZcams experience where we film practical cars that can be bought for less than £1,000 in a manner befitting of their inexpensive value! This may go horribly wrong...
This time we examine a 2001 Toyota Corolla 1.4 GS 3dr (E110), probably the most sensible car we have ever featured on No Budget Reviews, and get excited about a light coloured interior, a chain cam engine, the wonderful ease of driving and really little of any consequence at all.... Nothing untoward, then!
As an independent vehicle consultant, I take potential buyers through the whole car buying process from choosing a make and model to a vehicle handover and road tax. In addition to information on this service, I also have a selection of written and video reviews of cars that I have owned, hired, borrowed or have somehow come into my possession. Please use the Contact Me page on my website to get in touch, visit my Facebook page for latest updates and share this video if you like it! Thank you for watching.

I still see several of these cruising around everyday, mostly looking very tidy too. Must be a very well made car! I just hope that my 2014 Auris 1.6 lasts as well!
Yes, they do seem to be from an era when they were built without compromise, don't they? Let us hope that your Auris does indeed last a long time as well...
I got one of these 2 years go, absolutely lovely cars, nice simple and easy to repair if it ever needs any.
Thank you ever so much indeed for watching and commenting! Yes, I really liked this little car. Very, very impressive considering you can still pick them up for under £1000. No fuss, really!
I remember being impressed by the interior fit and finish, and especially having air conditioning and a sunroof at the same time.
Yes, a surprisingly high quality car, I really quite enjoyed this one.
got one of those in black as a G6 Compact and I love it. It's got a very sporty trim and 110 HP @ (by now) 950 KG weight. Also completely clean condition. Easy to work on reliable and very well built.
That sound like a really good car! Thank you very much indeed for watching and commenting.
I always remember the five door liftback with the questionable rear styling for those taxi drivers who couldn't quite afford an Avensis. As you say very clearly logical layout and Toyota reliability... Very sensible and yet very different from the mainstream
It is indeed very different in this three door variant and it feels very well made indeed, with really no faults at all after 20 years!
I was probably way more excited about this than I should be. The 3 door has a really nice style and I love the tape player, cd changer and VVTi. If it had a sunroof I'd probably have shrieked with delight.
Getting closer to Scotland there too
Yes sir, a very, very long way to review this car! The equipment level in this car is very good, I sort of wanted to take it home...
@@lloydvehicleconsulting if your friend is the man I think he is, he's got plenty of other cars to distract him. He might not notice :)
@@alansimpson835 , you may see some of his other cars coming up on the channel next week....
@@lloydvehicleconsulting one has to make the most of such an opportunity, especially after a long journey. If you get a chance to go for a Seriously Shambolic Shuffle around Alnwick Treehouse and Barter Books whilst up there, both are thoroughly worth a visit.
@@alansimpson835 , thank you, sir! The visit was about a month ago now, so it's going to be a while before we go up there again, but thank you for the travel tip nevertheless....
oozes quality which was typical of japanese cars of that era,but that is a gem, stalks very similar to early Honda.
Yes, absolutely! The press at the time said that they were very boring and that they were a bit more expensive, but these days they are looking like a more and more attractive proposition.
Great little motor I owned one of these back in 2008 the 5 door hatchback
We do like these, sir! Thoroughly recommended, I would say...
The 110 is one of the best cars to be manufactured. Very practical.
A surprisingly good car, isn't it? Thank you very much indeed for watching and commenting.
Lovely! I think the Corolla 1.6 G6s are quicker than a similar aged VW Golf GTi.
I very nearly bought an example of the replacement model to this: 2005 1.6 vvti Sport 3 door. However, I procrastinated and erroneously bought a troublesome forbidden fuel powered Nissan Almera instead!
Oh sir, the less said about troublesome forbidden fuel Almeras, the better! Glad you appreciate these Toyotas, though.
Hi i am from Australia and I really enjoy your reviews to see the differences between cars you got in the UK and cars we get here.
This is a prime example - a 1.4 Corolla is unimaginable here, we always got 1.6 or 1.8 at least. Another example is the MG models - your MG3 is (enviably) manual only, whilst ours is saddled with a four-speed auto. Same with our ZS models.
Thank you ever so much indeed for watching and commenting! How lovely to have another viewer from the other side of the world... Yes indeed, local manufacturing plants and cars engineered to local tastes. I gather that Australian customers don't like manual gearboxes any more, or at least, that is what the manufacturers believe. Not sure how true it is!
Yes, sadly you’re correct.
Autos are dying here. I must be the exception though, my 2003 Ford Falcon XT is one of 334 manuals out of 50K produced for that model.
@@MrEBog , that's a very rare car in that case! Ford Granada Mark IIs with a 2.8 V6 were a bit like that, and I have driven one of them that was manual.
@@lloydvehicleconsulting I'm here in Oz too as an expat for the past 12 years so have experience of both our gearbox situations. These little corrolas are everywhere here - in 5 door and sedan( saloon), not surprising as we have no road salt. I had a 2000 Camry V6 estate which I loved and now a 2010 V6 Camry sedan( Aussie built) with 160k miles and not a single problem, they really are that reliable if serviced.
@@Dino_Dad. , yes, the E110s are probably much rarer here, as we have traditionally had very low secondhand prices and we have a lot of road salt. I did very much enjoy this little three door! Thank you for watching and commenting all the way from Australia.
Very good review 👍🏼
That’s my old car it’s as good underneath as it is on top, recorded all the work on my channel 👍🏼 one car I regret selling 😩
So sorry not to have replied to you beforehand! The CZcams algorithm buried your comment for almost two years.... This is one of the seminal No Budget Reviews episodes. A phenomenal car, I sort of regret not offering Mr James some money for it so I could buy it in a way.
@@lloydvehicleconsulting
Yes I tend to find exactly the same comments hidden away for years.
Funny just seen the car in Amble local ish village when I was away in the caravan last week
@@CarAddictGarageNE , goodness gracious me, don't I know it! I had about 50 old comments suddenly appear overnight.
@@lloydvehicleconsulting
Says something on mine about been held for review?
@@CarAddictGarageNE , the mystery deepens, sir.
An interesting car, and to think it’s still going, thank you Joseph
It is indeed still going strong, sir! Glad you enjoyed the video.
This car was available with optional built in Sat-Nav, hence the Reroute, Return and Guidance labelling. You had the labelling if you chose the option or not. Although it wasn't exactly Google maps in the year 2000
Thanks ever so much indeed for watching and commenting! That all makes sense, I am that the sat nav wasn't great, but it would be an exciting option at the time.
The look of this particular Toyota Corolla reminds me of a Rover 25; when this thought occurred, I spotted that gorgeous Nightfire Red (?) Rover Tomcat coupé as well as a few other delicious vehicles! Interior and controls are very Toyota, extremely familiar.
A beautiful, well looked after example!
Thank you for this review Joseph!
Will there be any reviews of any of the vehicles in the background? Some of them look gorgeous!
Yes sir, we do have a few more delights coming up from the trip to the North East, don't worry! Very typical of the Toyotas of the time, really looking quite an attractive buy in retrospect.
There are 3 of these Corollas still in our small Welsh village, one is almost as immaculate as this one. I was given a brand new one as a courtesy car when they first came out, it went really well if I remember.
Well, we do like cars like this, a high quality standard of assembly, simple controls and real ease of use! Would have made an excellent courtesy car...
My dad went and had a look at one of these many years ago but the 5 door version, Toyota would not play ball with a good trade in for my dad's escort so he walked out and bought a Almera instead. Great looking car is the Corolla and what a great colour as well.
Did you good lady wife see the footage and want a Corolla?
No sir, she saw the car in person! The five door versions are more common, although you do occasionally see the saloons as well. The estates are very rare. Funny how they wouldn't offer your father a decent price back in the day.
It’s interesting, 20 years ago would not have given this a second look because it was not ‘cool’. But this looks immaculate. Especially the engine bay. And it’s got most of the mod cons you would expect today. Although it seems an odd place for the CD changer, right where it could be kicked by rear (ie children!) passengers. Also is the rear wiper parked correctly?
The walk around was slightly distracting, oooo a Nissan Stanza(?), Tomcat, another R8, another Toyota that may not be in as good condition and an Alfa (meh we can forget the last one). So that many more videos to come. 🙂
You're not confusing this with Ian Seabrook's channel, are you, sir? Wiper parking tends not to be discussed, unless, of course, we are doing No Budget Reviews: Accidental HubNut Rip-Off Edition...
You can speculate all you want about future channel content, sir, but only some of your guesses are correct. You will note that the first of those was indeed right, and the video is now live on the channel. As for the rest of them...
@@lloydvehicleconsulting LOL, it just looked like an odd parking position.
I also did the obligatory Autotrader check. There is a red 3 door for sale. It looks good, but not immaculate like this example. And they what 2750 for it. There are also some really low mileage 1 owner examples for less money. One has only 21k.
@@colinhicks4174 , a lot of hatchbacks at the time parked the rear wiper like this. The three doors are quite rare, I think the five doors would actually be a bit cheaper. You are right, this car is in insanely good condition!
I have a 2000 1.4 vvti.....its outstanding never let me down...bulletproof
We love the 1.4, fantastically reliable engine!
What a wonderful condition car, and your Favourite colour Sir. Sunderland registered. Variable Valve timing as well. There are quite afew of these, in 3 & 5 door, been in very long term ownership, still running around local to me. Ooh a Stanza in the background.
Yes sir, a locally registered car to where I was filming. It's not just one Stanza in the background, sir...
@@lloydvehicleconsulting very exciting Sir, a herd of Stanza’s ! you were not far from where Shoreline VW was
@@badbooks476 , all sorts of excitement, sir, and we were indeed close to Redcar!
Dare I say your wife's camera is excellent, in my opinion. The detail in the car shots was very sharp and your talking direct to camera bits were clear with good colour balance.
The Corolla was definitely a 'world' car for Toyota and, with better than average reliability, a favourite with motorists who just want trouble free driving. This was an exceptional example for the year.
Just wondering, is there any particular reason why "we" don't talk about di**els on this channel? It could argued that for some manufacturers their oil burners are the best engines in their range.
I think Joseph doesn`t talk about diesels because he got in a muddle once trying to remember the different outputs of one particular model. I'd have got in a tizzy myself if I had to remember those facts and drive at the same time!
It's actually much more complicated than that, sir! It is actually true, but there are many, many more factors to it. There is a video called "Ask Your Questions Part Thirteen and Why Don't We Talk About Diesels on This Channel" which goes into the reasoning behind it in excruciating detail.
Greeatings i have one corolla liftback 1.6 16v g6.
A really great car!
Love corolla!
Thanks for sharing!
I Would like to have some ideas to upgrade the air intake and if it's possible to insert a turbo into a zze motor.
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed the review! I don't know anything about modifying cars, I am afraid, but it sounds interesting...
ive had two, the first preface lift in SE trim which was the same as the SR but 1.3 and also one almost identical to this but an SR with the 110bhp engine and 6 speed box same colour it went really well and owned it for 5 years, i sold it last year and now fully regret it. best car ive ever owned,
Thank you ever so much indeed for watching! I absolutely loved this little Corolla, really enjoyed driving it. I am sure that your E110 Corollas were brilliant too, would have loved a bit more power!
This is quite an appealing car and probably quite hars to find I this condition. It is nice to see a light colour interior at are not very common these days. I am sure the engine will go on for ever long after the bodywork has given up.
Yes, I think that this is probably one of the best of its type around. I did indeed like the light coloured interior, and those engines are generally very reliable.
2014 this Is my baby
2014?
I want these beige/cream colored interiors back. Nowadays it feels like every car has the same generic black interior which makes them feel more claustrophobic. I feel like driving a car with a light interior is much more fun
That is why one of our cars has a light coloured leather interior, with a light coloured headlining, as I much prefer that sort of thing myself too!
I keep seing a red one of these locally though I doubt it's in as good condition as this one.
Toyota were riding high with the Carola at that time as it's predecessor frequently topped the JDP survey. The car in front really was a Toyota.
I wonder how many remain that are not used for takeaway deliveries.
They are the quintessential car for the Uber Eats deliveries, aren't they? In hindsight, these E110 Corollas are superb cars, they have lasted extremely well and excel in being easy to use and extremely reliable.
That car is mint credit to last and present owner, can't stop looking at that rover coupe, it's flirting with me.
Don't worry, sir, some of the other cars in the background will be appearing on the channel soon.
Vin number starting with J, car is built in Japan !
Is that really the case? Maybe my research was all wrong.
4:32 'the fabric's not of the highest quality but it's lasted over 20 years.' I'd say that proves it IS of the highest quality. Soft touch vinyls in other cars may look expensive and exude an air of quality but it's all smoke and mirrors. They soon look shabby and nasty. All that glisters isn't gold.
Are you a Corolla owner?
great condition looks like you time travelled back to 2001 to review this car.....................actually hold on a minute, do you still have that time travel machine i gave you?!
Yes sir! The time machine is available for the next Question and Answer session, hopefully coming up later this month. The condition of this car was a bit like a time warp!
When you build the best all round medium sized car in the world and the journos say that it's bland. What do you do? Give it a funky new nose and interesting taillights and confound Messrs Clarkson and Co..
Yes, the facelifted E110 is actually a fairly handsome car, especially this three door or the saloon. Not so sure about the pre-facelift ones, though. These are now extremely appealing for No Budget Reviews money.
I don't take any notice of car journalists. Their priorities and measure of a car's worth never tally with the people who own and live with them.
How much is mine worth corolla 1.9 diesel 5 door 81'000 miles good condition
I am afraid that we don't talk about diesels on this channel.
VIN appears to start with J, made in Japan?
It has a Toyota Europe Manufacture and Engineering VIN plate, so I don't think so. All E110 Corollas for the European market were made in Derbyshire from 1999.
Quero um carro deste por favor eu amo este carro
Muito obrigado mesmo por assistir e comentar!
Bonsoir combien
Not for sale, I am afraid.
not to be nasty or something , but what is on your head ?
It's a benign cyst, had it years, it is being removed soon. This is a car channel rather than a medical one, though....
@@lloydvehicleconsulting but the review is great , thanks
No problem at all, more reviews coming up next week.
@@lloydvehicleconsulting looking forward to it . I got myself a rover 600 for only 600 euro plus one year mot.
I used to have one of those a couple of years ago! It cost £320 with about 11 months left on the MOT. Was very shabby, though.
