2006 Toyota Corolla CE 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5M)

Review

We bought our Corolla 3 years ago and it works just as well as the day we bought it, despite having 64 000 km on it! The cost of the corolla is similar to American made vehicles but the quality is far better. I would highly recommend one.

Favorite Features

Good fuel consumption, overall quality.

Suggested Improvements

The paint chips far too easily.

Rolla not for tall people

Review

I really like this car and could brag about it for days when it comes to styling, reliability and gas mileage. Here is a list of things I hate about it. The driver's seat does not go back enough. No standard cruise and the standard wipers lack intermittent feature other cars have. The biggest thing is that stupid buzzer for no seat belt. How many times do you get rolling before getting the belt on or want to make a quick stop so you take the belt off before stopping. That stupid buzzer noise drives me nuts. I have driven many cars over the years both newer and older and none of them irritate me like this one.

Favorite Features

gas mileage, reliability, styling

Suggested Improvements

seat, buzzer, wipers

2006 Toyota Corolla LE

Review

I love my 2006 Toyota Corolla LE. It has never given me any problems. Only routine maintenance. I love the great fuel economy especially because of high fuel costs. It also handles much better than even the Mustang. My Corolla handles better at 100mph that the Mustang at 75. I love my car and was glad I invested in it

Great mileage and reliability

2006 Toyota Corolla S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5M)

Review

The S model is a fun car to drive with great mileage on long trips (up to 41). It gets better mileage than my old 96 with more power. The 5 speed transmission is not the smoothest shifter I've owned but it makes the car seem more powerful. The exterior looks sporty with the body kit, spoiler, and fog lights. The interior has nice build quality and the trunk size is more than proficient. No mechanical problems at all. I've never been to the shop since I change my own oil. I would definitely recommend.

Favorite Features

Looks nice, great mileage (up to 41 MPG), sunroof, trunk space, interior fit and finish, low maintenance costs including cheaper tires. Good acceleration with Manual Transmission.

Suggested Improvements

Annoying beeping seat belt indicator (Shut up already!), back seats do not fold completely flat, no trunk opener on keyfob. Grinding shifting sometimes if clutch not completely pushed to floor. Better fit for shorter drivers.

A great car to have

Review

I've had my Corolla for almost 2 years now, and I must say, I enjoy driving this car. Power isn't the best, but its enough to do what you have to do. Ride quality is good. Highway driving is what I think the Corolla is bred for. Its quiet and gets you from point a to b without draining your pockets. I would suggest, if equipped, use the cruise control. It helps the car perform and keeps the speed maintained without hesitation. To get the best out of this, use 93 oct. fuel. Although it costs more, it's really worth it.

Favorite Features

Body kit (ground effects), Interior color, sound system.

Suggested Improvements

Bigger engine and 5spd auto trans. would be nice.

Not impressed

Review

I bought a lightly used, low mileage Corolla S rental return in Feb, 2006. Mechanically, the car has been fine, mileage good, but the paint quality is poor and the road noise is terrible. Toyota quality is going downhill. I have owned several Toyotas, but this is the the last one I will ever buy, unless Toyota significantly improves quality.

Favorite Features

Mileage

Suggested Improvements

Paint quality, improve overall quality. Design swans, not ugly ducklings.

Great Little Car

2006 Toyota Corolla LE 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

Review

During warm weather getting 40+ miles per gallon (35 in sub-freezing weather). Never have to worry about it getting me where I need to go. Recommend keeping tires inflated to 30 psi as Toyota recommends.

Favorite Features

Great gas mileage. Fun to drive. Roomy for its size. Fold down rear seats.

Suggested Improvements

Six way front seats.

Will NEVER buy again

Review

We were overseas on military orders and ran into problems while under extended warranty at only 30,000 miles. Fought with Toyota for 6 months and received no help until MANUAL transmission stalled on the highway!! UNACCEPTABLE. Laundry list of repairs every time we go in. If you ever have problems with this car and expect good service FORGET IT!! Constantly was accused of not really having the extended warranty and was even charged for warranty work more than once and had to dispute. We are trading it in NEVER to buy a Toyota again.

My Corolla S

2006 Toyota Corolla S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

Review

I've had my 06 corolla s for about one year now and I'm very pleased with it. Before I purchased my car, I was driving a 03 corolla ce. At that time it had 52,000 miles, currently 120,000. I didn't like the BASIC trim with no pwr windows, door locks, cruise, abs, etc. The 03 is in great condition, despite some maintenance that's needed. The 06 s is way better. I love the exterior design with the full body pkg. Rated at 126 hp is not much, but really doesn't feel like 126. I've taken the liberty and placed a v6 badge on the vehicle, of course I raised a few eyebrow's, but hey, why not. Fill the tank with 93oct, and you notice a big difference. Overall I'm satisfied with it. It's a great car.

Favorite Features

The ride quality. Very quiet and smooth. Handling is exceptional. MPG'S.

Suggested Improvements

Improvement's would have to be: Bigger engine and tranny, different choice of rear suspension, maybe a independent rear suspension. More standard safety feature's. More feature's for driver and passenger's.

REAR ENDED GLAD I WAS IN THIS CAR

2006 Toyota Corolla S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 4A)

Review

I was rearended 2 weeks ago by a gentleman doing at least 45 MPH while I was at a dead stop. I thought for sure my trunk and the back of my car was demolished but to my surprise not even close. I had some bumper damage and lost my fenders but that was it! I will recommend this car to everyone I know because it is safe.

Favorite Features

Used to be cosmetic but now I would have to say the way it stands up in a collision.
