I seriously don't 'get' the professional car reviewers. Personally I wouldn't want to drive one of the so-called 'fun' cars in my everyday 140 mile commute. Obviously the Corolla is not intended for the MG crowd. In the 18 months I have had the car I have averaged 34-40 MPG, and that is not when I am babying it. That is driving full speed, hell-bent to get home at the end of the day. That alone has made the car worth it. Coming from a fully loaded 4Runner the steering was a bit weird at first, but easy to learn. Comfy ride, well built, great reliability, really great MPG. Hated having to go to dealer for scheduled maintenance first months. Parts now plenty, can go elsewhere.
great car!

I love my yota! Its a great car i get about 33 mpg which is wonderful for long family rides. Its a dependable vehicle that I know is going continue to go strong. The inside and out looks very nice, its got a sporty twist which I like a lot! Overall I love this car and would suggest it to anyone!

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!
We LOVE it!

We just traded in a 1998 Grand Am for this baby, thought we were going to buy a Civic, but once we saw the new Corolla and how sporty and roomier it is, we were sold. The dealership was ready to negotiate and met us at our price including more options. The black interior is warmer than my previous tan, but opening the sun roof clears out all hot air in about a minute. The A/C cools down real quick. 3 days after we purchased we took a road trip to Marquette, Michigan from Chicago. We had no problems at all. We love the sporty look, aggressive body style, easy to clean black interior, smooth ride, and I can almost see the front of the car! (I'm short!) We love this car and Toyota now!
Rattling Noise, MPG not up there

I've had my Corolla for one year now and have driven it approx. 7,000 miles. I enjoy the car overall but there are some things that really annoy me about it. The panels for the side curtain airbags rattle and it annoys the bejesus out of me. It comes and goes. I have also recently noticed some more rattling noise (again, comes and goes) from the back area of the car. The gas mileage I get driving around the city isn't as good as advertised. It appears to be more like 25 for city driving and 30-33 on the highway. This was my first economy car. Being 6'3, I fit pretty comfortable in this vehicle. The engine is very quiet and has some quickness for being a 4 banger.
