BEST CAR ON THE MARKET FOR THE $$
I recently traded in my '03 Corolla S for an '05. I thought the '03 was outstanding! The '05 is even better! I love this car, it has power, space and style. I am 24 and have a 2 year old. When purchasing this car I took into consideration the safety, reliability and of course overall look. It has a sporty exterior with all the comforts of a family sedan. Plus the price can't be beat for the quality!! I recommend this car to anyone!
I couldn't ask anymore of a car.
This is my first Toyota and I have to ask myself why it took so long for me to buy one. I've owned just about every other car make on the planet at one time or another. At one time I even owned a Fiat. But this Toyota has a jewel box build quality about it. It's large enough to be comfortable. It has a large trunk. It rides quiet and smooth. And it gets great gas mileage. I'm averaging over 35 mpg. I've had no problems with the car and after reading other reviews I don't expect any. Another benefit is the resale value. This is a great car and I highly recommend it.
Still Reliable
I bought this car with 97,000 miles in 2008 from a certified dealer. This is my 3rd Corolla. The Gas Mileage on the street is 30-33 mpg, only when I drive between 35mpg and 42mph. The car's elevated height has a PRO & CON. CON: when backing up (or making a turn at a low curb) it becomes difficult hard to judge the distance of the car behind me, or the curb below. PRO: rocks, curbs and parking blocks won't scratch the bumper, or my under-siding at all. The Seats are comfortable enough for a little car. And at 5'7, I can sleep in it, for a few hours, reclined. The sun visor hits the rear-view mirror. I change my oil before 3,000 miles. And I change Trans fluid once a year. No repairs so far.
S is fun
Best Toyota I've owned. They get better and better as I buy them. Have bought 4 Corollas for the faimly and my daughter is about to buy an 05 S just like the one I purchased.
2005 Toyotal Corolla CE
This is the 3rd Toyota Corolla that i have owned and probably won't be the last. This is a durable and dependable vehicle. Excellent gas mileage and looks great for the price!! Aluminum wheel package makes for a sportier look.
