Good reliable, well made compact car that gets very good fuel economy. A couple of things that bother me having taken so many long trips: the seats are not very good and I use a cushion to make things more comfortable. The brakes are average at best and you have to plan your stops. The car is really not that quiet on the highway but it is an economy car. The engine works well but the last year is making a droning sound that we thought was coming from the front end or tires. I changed the tires and had the front end checked, but not luck. The body is starting to show signs of rust on the hood of all places. You clearly need winter tires for traction in the snow because the car is so light.

Outperforms every car in its class. I selected the 5-speed manual transmission, and am very pleased with the car's responsiveness and the engine's zip. The exterior and interior design border on luxurious...not bad, for under 15k. Truly a wonderful car for its price range.

Much better than my '92 Jeep Cherokee. Only got about 12mpg city. The Corolla S gets awesome gas mileage, there's lots of leg room, and great styling both in and out. I was worried about the black interior at first thinking it would be hotter but I haven't noticed a difference. I always get compliments on it. I absolutely love it!!!

I went looking for a small high mpg auto, drove them all and the 2003 corolla had by far the best ride and oh so quiet plus 40 mpg and very responsive.
