A Pleasant Surprise

After buying a car, it's a great feeling when you realize that the car is a lot better than what you had expected. I brought it as cheap car for my long daily commute and I am extremely happy with it. It's a little weak on power, but besides that, it is great. I am getting an "average" of 39 mpg. Great for single person commuting. I would recommend Camry if there will be more than two passenger.

We love this car. I drive it to work 120 miles round trip. We drove the car from MN to Maine last summer. Car has always run great. It is not a sports car, but it is good reliable transportation.

I had noise in front suspension,dealer replaced both front struts and housing, Hubcap fell off for no reason, tire pressure sensor replaced, brakes recalled, glove box popped off for no reason, breaks still squeak, weird steering that when traveling over 55 MPH car will not stay put in a straight line

I did a lot of research online. I test drove the Corolla S 09, 08 Honda Civic, and 08 Honda Accord. The Corolla has everything! I bought a Classic Silver 2009 Toyota Corolla S with the JBL option, moonroof, sport package. I love it, its been amazing. Getting around 34 mpg (mainly commute on a parkway to work). I feel like it is an economy car with some style. Trunk size is great, almost as big as my 1999 Taurus. The clock display is not that bad, takes time to get used to. Go buy it if you can find one.

This is an update of my earlier review. Now that we have had our Corolla for several months I can be more accurate about the mpg. With careful driving we can get 30 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway, using the AC will reduce this to about 28/38 mpg. This is fantastic for any car. Fast drivers will of course get less. We drive between 65 and 70 on the freeways. All in all the Corolla is a great value for the money.
