I and a friend bought a corolla today. We got a deal of 13600, which is well below Edmunds' TMV price for a very basic corolla with a cd player and automatic transmission. Overall, it has sufficient power for highway speed. It took about 6 second to get from 45 to 70 mph, but the engine noise sounds working hard. Wind noise is not bad, but road noise is noticeably annoying. You may have to turn to volume a bit higher to listen to music. Brake works well. A/C runs smooth. There are really not much you can expect for this price, but the main thing is the engine sounds quiet and the car has reputation of reliable.
Nice car

This is an excellent, solidly made small car. Careful Canadian assembly along with Japanese engineering combine to make this a world class ride. The VVT-i engine pulls smartly from a stop and hums along as only a Japanese 4 cylinder can do. The Toyoglide transmission shifts with aplomb if a tad slow on the downshift. The radio is fine and the Climate control reflects good design concepts. Engine serviceability is top notch. No timing belt here folks, a good on chain opens and closes the valves. Many electrical components are Denso sourced which is a good thing.
MPG great - Suspension BAD

Typical toyota suspension whats up with these cars and trucks. Wanders all over the road on highway 17 in Awatukee AZ. Best engine, tranny combo, whips stock civics gear stronger.

I have had this car for about a year and a half and it gets excellent gas mileage, drives very smooth, is comfortable, and very reliable. I was also in a wreck about a month ago and the side of my car got hit hard but fortunately I did not get hurt because this car is very safe. When they fixed my car it looked brand new. It really is an overall outstanding car.
