Just bought a 2004 Corolla CE for $700 syrup bucks. 5 speed which I didn't know about beforehand (gf arranged the buy, I drove home) Anything I should know about these? 5th gear is gutless, but 1st 2nd and 3rd are fun to row through, this being my first 5 speed. I literally learned in 5 minutes in this car. Very happy so far!

Decent shape, only real rust is around the door handles. Needs rear brakes done for inspection and a horn

Keep up with basic maintainance like oil, belts, alignments, and such, and get weekly carwashes in winter and it will do 200kmiles without issue.

Doors in general on those are shit. Handles will break and fly off, windows gonna stop working etc. Decent reliable engine though.

I meant for an east coast Canada (NS) car, the lack of rust around the rocker panels etc shows that its in decent shape. They use corrosive ass salt here in winter.

Last year before DBW bullshit.
Supercharge it and get a piggyback ECU. Laugh at lesser corollas.
