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.

Very comparable to older Camrys I've owned. A real big reliable small car that provides excellent basic transportation.

It's a Toyota...of course, it's good! I absolutely love my S...traded in a Camry and like the S better. It is easier to get in and out than the Camry.Our local dealership was great also and really worked hard to get me a great deal...along with the extended warranty...and protection package. Since we also have a Highlander, we didn't need a big car....just something to get me back and forth to the office. This car is more than I could have ever imagined for the price.

I have enjoyed every minute of owning my Corolla. The car is very reliable and even made out well when I took it on vacation for a week in the mountains where the roads were extremely icy. The interior has a lot of space, so even men enjoy driving it.
