Most should be fine but some years like 2009 2003 etc. had problems. The rule of thumb is to not get the first year of the generation and to make sure it was mechanically cared for and is in good shape. Corollas last if you take care of them.
It doesn't really matter they're all well made it's just a matter of what you can get for what price with what mileage they've sold over 45 million of them
There are some years Toyota had oil burning issues. I suggest you avoid those. Usually last 2 years of a generation are the most perfected.
