Is there a significant difference in quality between a Toyota that was assembled in Japan vs one that is assembled in the USA?
I am in the market for a used Toyota and am choosing between two Corollas--a 1994 model made in Japan and the other a 1996 made in the USA.
Should this be a factor in my decision in which one to choose?

Don't worry about where they were assembled. I have had Corollas assembled in Japan, Canada, and USA, and there is no real difference, in my experience/opinion. I have had a RAV 4 assembled in Japan that had several squeaks and rattles that had to be fixed under warranty. This Japan assembled was the most problems I ever had, although it was just a few squeaks and rattles - nothing else ever wrong, just like the rest of my Toyotas.

Most likely it shouldn't make a difference...I'd still perfer a Japanese assembled over a USA it I had the choice. When I purchased my 09 Corolla in Santa Cruz, CA I assumed my Corolla was US assembled and to my surprise, it was assembled in Japan. I would have purchase it regardless of where is was assembled though.
