The Best Car I've EVER Owned!

I love my Corolla. It has been a joy to own this car. It's roomy, fun, comfortable and very reliable not to mention great on gas! I have two teenagers and we went on vacation shortly after buying it. There was plenty of room for everything. We went to the Smokies and had no problem with the cars performance in the mountains even though it was loaded down and the a/c was on. I'd recommend it for anyone.

I've had this car for about a month and I am impressed. This is a lot better than my past chevy cavalier. I started out looking at the CE with automatic trans however after I found out that the LE with manual trans had a comparable price and had a lot more features I went with it. I liked having all of the options: keyless entry, 6 disc CD, auto windows/Locks, speed control, and neat looking interior. The ride is smooth and engine noise is minimal. It is a lot quieter than the civic. The civic is very comparable though. I liked the ride and interior looks better in the corolla and that why I went with it. I like the high safety and reliability scores this vehicle recieved. My Chevy was poor.

Great car

Fantastic car. Much better looking design compared to older models. Not fast or anything, but I live in the city and gas is expensive so it really doesn't matter. One of the best looking/feeling "budget" cars I ever been in. I have the S version and it black w/ black interior. Most people I meet think it's a Lexus.

This car does just what I bought it for. It gets good mileage and is quite comfortable. I get 41 miles to the gallon. It is a stick shift. The only thing I would like is to have it somewhat heavier. It gets taken away in strong wind. I would buy it again gladly.

Corolla XRS

2005 Toyota Corolla XRS 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6M)

I had the car for 3000 miles now and over all it's been a great car. The other car I was considering other than the XRS was the Nissan Sentra SE-R Vspec. I have to admit the Sentra was more performance oriented but I checked out the car's reliability within the past few years and I'm not that impressed with it. Also I don't like the interior with the Sentra too so pretty much I ended up choosing the Corolla XRS.
