Poor Corolla

When I bought this car, I knew it was going to be for utilitarian purposes only, school, work, errands. After all, that's all that this car is good for. After 2.5 years driving it after buying it brand new, I got bored with it and sick of hearing the engine strain to accelerate and pick up reasonable speed. The car drives well, seeps on gas slowly (I could drive 2 weeks without filling up), but it is not a fun car. Very dependable, never had an issue with it after 20,000 and going.
Bar None best car for your money

Recently drove from Abilene, tx to Dallas and back. My corolla got 37.5 miles per gallon. And that's with the a/c on. Idling in drive through, my lead foot, and pulling over 10 times on the way there and back. Love how cheap the vehicle was. And it is perfect for my family.
It's a "10"

The 2008 Corolla excels in all the important ways. It's nicely styled, it's most reliable, it's efficient and well handling. I've read editorial reviews that feel things are not placed exactly where they'd like, or that the model is not of a 'style' to their liking. Well, they are most welcome to spend their money on flashy boats. I smile all the way to the bank with my new 2008, and all the way down the highway. In particular, I find the driving column and seat extremely comfortable and well placed and wonder if they knew the seat had three adjustments possible (seat height, forward placement, and backrest) as well as a tilt steering wheel. I think they may have missed that .... :)

This car gives a nice smooth ride for its size. Acceleration is smooth and the transmission shifts great. This car rides a bit high and the driver's seat is adjustable; all nice features. However, I find the steering wheel a bit too far away, making driving a little uncomfortable and the knee ends up too close to the console. I'm somewhat disappointed with the fuel economy (rated at 26/35) when my bigger accord of 1988 produced 30/34 mpg.
Fourth Toyota, third Corolla!

I has a 08 CE auto transmission. I tested a 2010 lancer but it was absolutely useless in the snow n traction control was nonexistent. My buddy reminded me the next morning we had to check out a Corolla. It’s been a year and a half and has 180k miles but it seems just fine. Maintenance is cheap mostly because I do it myself and parts aren’t expensive. I do miss the black interior of my truck, the tan shows all the dirt and is ruined from salt. I know they retain value like crazy and hopefully I will drive it to the ground n get another Corolla. It’s very comfortable and I’m glad the previous owner installed cruise control for long hauls. Please don’t expect too sportiness much from this or you’ll be setting yourself up for disappointment. It’s barely has 128 horses and struggles to merge onto the freeway without sounding like it’ll blow up. You pay a premium price for the name and reliability. Pros: I live in Minneapolis and it handles snow like a champ. Sits higher, better visibility and easier to get out of. Simple, user friendly controls. Tons of trunk space. Reliable. Good mpg. Very comfortable. 60/40 split seats for more cargo space. I installed a subwoofer, no one will suspect a thing 😄 Cons: Overpriced. Body roll though corners is scary. Most standard safety equipment costs extra (I dint have anti lock brakes)
