With gas prices soaring , this car is ur best bet. I get 41 mpg since I drive at 60-65mph speed. If u drive faster the mpg drps to 38 which is still good. Overall the car is best value for money.A very reliable car.

With 137,000 miles I have yet to make any repairs. My mechanic told me to keep it well serviced which I have been doing, and it will last me almost for ever. Three days ago it was badly damaged when some one ran into the side. I felt like crying. The car has been very reliable and so good on gas especially since I do so much driving. If it cannot be fixed I will definately be getting another Corolla. It has served me well so far. If I was given the opportunity to change to another car I would not. I love my Corolla.
Get some snow tires...

I bought this car back in April of last year and posted a review in July. Since then, I've had my first experience with it in snow and have some advice for those that want to buy one - get. some. snow. tires! The performance tires that come on the car are great on dry asphalt but I couldn't do a thing with the car once a half inch of snow was on the ground. No go; no stop; no turn.

This car has one of the best engines on the market. Performance is amazing even when driven under harsh conditions. The exterior is crisp, sharp and up with the times. I love the size on the inside. The Corolla S Type is roomy and offers great head room. Of all the small cars I have owned in the past, the Toyota Corolla S is the top of the crop.
VROOOOMMMMM!!!!

I was smiling as I passed a Bemer heading up a steep incline this morning! Overall, a great car!!! However, with the 170 hp engine, the gas mileage suffers as compared to the other Corolla models-I'm averaging about 30 mpg which is primarily 90% highway (ok, averaging 80 mph-it's hard to keep this baby down!) You should also be aware that the engine requires a high octane gas and comes equipped with summer tires as it's considered a performance vehicle. Finding replacement winter tires/wheels for 195/55/16 size ran me another $917 (finally found them on the internet.) OUCH! Now that I've swallowed these surprises, I'm back to smiling every time I turn over the engine. VROOOOMMM!!!
