Big car ride in a small package
I bought the Corolla a week ago and have only 400 miles, but am really impressed with the quiet ride and smooth drivetrain. Driving between 50 and 65 miles per hour, I am averaging 37.4 mpg with 1.8l engine and 4-speed automatic.
My first Toyota
We traded in my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited V8(loaded). I loved, no, cherished, that car, but due to a long commute, we grudgingly began looking at Civic, Elantra, Focus, Fit and Yaris. After 2 months of test driving, comparisons and negotiations, decided on the Corolla S. I fully expected to feel disappointed driving it, but you know, it's actually fun to drive! And it's a great looking car too! We got the under and rear spoilers, alloy wheels and the sporty dark charcoal interior with blue accents (MUCH more attractive than the standard ash or beige velour) We are getting 38.5 MPG average (60% hwy/40% city) I don't even miss my Jeep! Happy with our choice!

Excellent Build Quality/Great Fuel Econ
Just picked it up today. Traded in my previous gen Camry. Needed a better gas mileage car for 100 mile daily commute. I owned a 94 corolla in college and this model is many leaps ahead. Firstly the cabin is almost as quiet as that of a camry, even at high speeds. Build quality is amazing, very solid. Got 30 mpg in my first 150 miles.
my corolla s
It's a nice car. I bought the White S model. Performance is a bit on the weak side for get up and go. Very nice interior and nicely detailed. Electric steering a bit touchy on highway and hard to make the car go straight after without touching the wheel. You can plug in the iPod into the auxiliary jack. So far it's turning a few heads as there is a 7 week wait for delivery and not many on the road yet. So far 444 km and 1st fill was 48.00 at 132 a litre so it's not too bad on fuel. I like the computer that tells you how many miles you can still travel on your fuel, this is a nice roomy commuter car with some class.
Hard to believe it's a compact!
Purchased a 2009 Magnetic Gray S Corolla. I can't say enough about it, the fuel economy is great, I drive in a lot of stop-and-go traffic and haven't been on the hwy but I'm getting 26-29 mpg. I love how wide the car is, my wife and I have a 2004 S Corolla and this is a different car all together. I love the steering and the ride but the brakes should've been 4-disc versus drum. Anyway, you get a Camry-like ride in a slightly smaller car. You can't go wrong with this car!
