Corrolla S

Toyota has always proven to be very reliable. The Corolla has oustanding gas mileage and tune-ups every 5000 miles, which is great compared to 3000 miles. I have been told that the car looks great from absolute strangers at street lights. I also recommended a friend to buy one and she loves it too.

Bought this car as a used car a month back and it had 45k miles on it; I have already put in 5000 miles on it (mostly highway) and I get an avg of 36 mpg. Got about 40-42 mpg on a recent long trip. No problems to date; engine quite noisy compared to other imported cars I have owned but great pickup and no problems passing/driving etc. I face a similar problem that a couple of other reviewers have written about: I can't get a comfortable steering wheel hold when the leg length (seat position) is adjusted right. And if I get a good steering hold for my arm length, my legs are too close to the pedals. Probably just needs a telescopic steering column.

I just bought this car 3 days ago. The steering is tight. Visibility is really good. A lot comes standard with even the ce: ac, power door locks, cd player, cup holders... I was looking at echos and found I could get a corolla for basically the same price once i added everything that doesn't come standard with the echo. Really fun to drive. Handles well in rainy windy weather. Very spacious.

Great Ride

I'd still have this car if it wasn't destroyed in a car accident. I had 71k miles and the only thing I had to do was change the battery this past fall which in the grand scheme is minor. The car rode smooth and was the best as far as gas went. Very affordable!

Cool Little Car

The 5-speed is quick & gets great gas mileage, about 33mpg in suburban/city commute. I don't feel as confident blasting around curves as in my old Integra because this car is taller & it feels a little "tippy." Only complaint is a weird wind vibration when only the back windows are down. It will drive you mad! Lots of legroom & headroom for a tall person. I chose this car over a Honda Civic due to 1.9% financing & actually like the body styling better than the Honda. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an economical, stylish, dependable new car.
