2002 Toyota Corolla Price in Nigeria, Review & used car buying guide

Aside from its parent country, Japan Toyota’s Corolla remains one of the world’s best brands for many positive reasons. In the U.S., Canada, and Nigeria the brand is a testimony of durability, reliability, performance, and safety can only be rivaled by Mercedes Benz when it comes to the second-hand value and for over thirty years, Corolla has continued to guaranty convenient transportation.  Take it from me; the 2002 Corolla is a comfortable, rugged, and well-built car that holds its ground well against strong competitions. The 2002 Corolla is a car for all seasons and it gets even tastier for buyers who are budget-minded but want a very good car, the Corolla is where your search ends.

Toyota offered its customer the Corolla 2002 model in 3 trims: the popular Sedan, Station wagon, and the Hatchback. It also has three models: Three models are available: CE; S and LE. All 2002 Corollas sedans are four-door powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with a standard five-speed manual gearbox. The CE has an option for a three-speed automatic and a four-speed automatic is an option for S and CE. It also offered side-impact airbags are options for all three versions, but the antilock brakes are only available for only the S and LE models. Surely, the CE is cheaper with the most basic amenities and features; generally speaking, most people opt for the S or the well-advanced LE.

Below is the assessment of the interior, feature, safety and engine performance of the 2002 Toyota Corolla.

2002 Toyota Corolla Interior

The 2002 Corolla is designed with 5 seats to accommodate five occupants on cloth-upholstered seats. The cheap interior material used for the car is one of the car’s biggest downsides when you compared its quality to some of its rivals. It is even more worrying when the LE that sits on the top-of-the-line in the model, gets standard features such as air conditioning and power windows, locks and mirrors that came as optional rather than standard. It is shocking to state that only the LE in the 2002 Corolla models came with a standard cassette player, as well as a tilt steering wheel, split-folding rear seat, a four-speaker sound system, and rear-window defogger. Yet all in all Corolla offers a very great driving experience from the driver and the passenger’s perspective, this explains why its sales keep hitting the roof on any giving sun-day.

2002 Toyota Corolla Engine And Performance

The 2002 Corolla model is built with a powerful 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with an output of 125 horsepower works with a standard five-speed manual gearbox or a three- or four-speed-automatic transmission. The three-speed unit is optional on the Corolla CE model, while others can opt for the four-speed automatic. Yeah the world has evolved and many new models have doubled the speed output, yet as at the time this car was produced the out-put 125 horsepower was cool and few cars in its category could rival it. The Corolla 2002 model guaranty’s an impressive combination of frugal fuel economy, refinement, reliability, and durability. In its era of production only a few could rival it.

2002 Toyota Corolla Safety

Toyota announced that the 2002 Corollas bumpers were built to withstand a 5-mph collision without damage, going by this standard many larger cars cannot match such power show. They also included side-impact airbags which are optional on all models and an antilock brake which is optional and available for only the LE and S editions.
