I love driving it, I like how fast you can go but have not been over 85 in it. I don't know how hard it was driven before me but March 2008 the transmission went out. June wheel bearing went bad, replaced it and again in July. And in September gotta replace again.

The Corolla LE Sedan is affordable and fun to drive. I love just about everything it offers, with the exception of a couple minor issues. I have not had a smaller car in many years, and i'm very happy with this one. It gives a smooth ride and i feel safe in it. It comes with alot of perks, and for a car under $20,000. The newer design is also a plus. I'd definately recommend it.

In driving all the cars in this class, this car seemed to offer the most for the money.

XRS should be a small car contender!!

Price can be too high for some but if you can afford this 4 door rocket, get it! Using the Celica's engine it is rev-happy and is extremely brisk on the street! Going up to the mountains from Denver it easily scooted up those 6% inclines with 3 people in it and A/C on! Not an easy feat for most econo- boxes!!! Comfort is great, noise a smidgen high but not terribly bad! I do, however, have one gripe...the tires...lil' too much flex on the sidewall when cornering, other than that the corolla loves to be tossed into corners! Even better ABS, all disc brakes, 6-speed, cruise, etc...and with Toyota reliablility!

Great Car for A Great Price

I am a college student, and I bought this car because of the great styling, reliability, and high gas mileage. I have had this car for almost a year and I have been very pleased with it. The outside styling is great- more than you would expect from a $16K car. The LE interior is very upscale with sport well-lit gauges, two-tone interior and comfortable seats. There are plenty of storage compartments for just about everything. Some tall drivers may find the steering wheel a little too far away- but not bad for an economy car. There is a decent amount of backseat space and a lot of trunk space. The engine is more than powerful enough and the transmission is smooth through all 4 gears.
