This is what Graham Smith liked most about this particular version of the Toyota Corolla: Reliable, Solid and reassuring on the road, No recalls affect this model
The 1999 Toyota Corolla carries a braked towing capacity of up to 900 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Toyota Corolla 1999 prices range from $2,090 for the basic trim level Sedan CSi to $4,070 for the top of the range Sedan Ultima.
I agree with your view of going Japanese for reliability. The Lancer would be one I would recommend, along with the Mazda3 and the Toyota Corolla. They're comfortable, fuel-efficient, safe, and have decent performance.

It's still under warranty so you should persist with your dealer and have him demonstrate, perhaps by driving another car with the same drivetrain, that yours is normal. You could also have a trusted mechanic drive it for you and give you an opinion on it.

The timing belt is usually changed at 150,000 km on that model and most dealers are happy to do it on the basis of distance done rather than a time limit. Regular unleaded is being phased out in NSW only in 2011. Your car should be fine on E10, BP guarantees its E10 is suitable for all vehicles regardless of the age of the vehicle, the other oil companies don’t make that guarantee at the moment, but probably will. With that in mind use BP E10 if you have any doubts.
