I have now owned the car for over a year and a half. I'm 22 and may be a little ruff with it at times. I love the car, but had a few problems with it. At 22,000 miles two tires blew and by 30,000 I had replace the other two. At about 15,000 miles the fuel injector had to be replaced already. The clutch fried out at 37,000 miles and had to pay $1,400 to have it replaced. But over all I wouldn't trade it for anything, I don't know why it's just a nice car.

I was a Honda fan for the last 10 years, this is my first Toyota and I am excited with the performance in this car The XRS attracted me from the very first time that I saw on TV, especially the new DOHC engine with 170 hp, Honda never offered nothing like this and with any of the cars that I had, the closest one now is Honda the civic Si, which I already made him eat my dust, when I recently encountered one here on the highway. What else can I say!!!

I worked for a dealership, and now I own a Toyota. I have to tell you, this car is the cheapest pile of garbage they have ever produced!! Recalls on computers, serpentine belt tensioners that fail, belts that make noise, intake manifold gaskets that crack and leak..

This is my first Toyota purchase and judging from the way my Corolla drives and handles, it won't be my last. It has the get-up-and-go when I need it passing other cars and trucks. It also fits perfectly when I'm just cruisin'. Right now with gas prices more than $2 a gallon, you can't beat the 30/38 mpg. I'm impressed with my Toyota and I have no complaints, only praise for it.

my first new car. i think i chose wisely, but after a month of driving the car it seemed a tad tedious. seating could have been lower. the door panels from the inside feel cheap and hollow. so does the dash. the white gauge clusters are also dreadful, and the green lights surrounding the stereo buttons and screen is hideous and make the interior seem old. it does not corner as well as a mazda3(feels flabby), but it gets way better gas milage. the drive is also very bumpy and harsh. you can just feel every little pebble while driving. this car was just not made for L.A.'s harsh streets.
