I was either going to buy a Yaris or the Corolla and when I drove up to the lot there was a Barcelona red Corolla and a red Yaris. The salesman thought I should get the Corolla because of the more roominess and other options. Best friend has a Yaris and he gloats how it gets better mileage but I don't think I have made a mistake in getting the Corolla. I put about fifty miles a day in it so I was looking for fuel economy and I love the style of this car. The color turns many heads and it drives great! I get about 31 miles a gallon in the winter and it goes up to 35 in the summer. Eighty percent of my driving is freeway. Its a great car.

My wife and I were looking for a reliable car with excellent gas mileage. We found it. My wife drives about 30,000 miles a year for her job. This car is perfect. It has lots of room and the back seats fold down for our hiking equipment. We love the great gas mileage.

The car is ok compared to a Civic. I don't like that the car does not have an oil filter. Rattle noise on driver's side. The car does not shift properly until the engine is fully warmed up. Overall if you are looking for an economy car that's reliable and gets good gas mileage then this is the car for you. The car has no soul; not fun to drive by any means. Strictly a commuter car.

I use this car for back and forth to work and get 34-36 mpg year round and 40 on the highway. It is roomy for its size and with the backseat down I can carry all sorts of things.

After test driving the Matrix, Scion xD and Honda Fit, I chose the Corolla. For some 1.8 is small but that small really comes to live. The mileage is great and with gas prices being what they are now, I save money. Last vehicle I had gave me 16 city 18-20 hwy. This Toyota is giving me 28.8 city and 36 hwy. Bought it 8 days ago and I have loved every minute of it! It is a great car at a great price and superb gas mileage, and it is almost the same size as a Ford Taurus. Roomy, comfortable, plenty of leg room, huge trunk, and for the young ones reading this, an excellent radio/cd system, that delivers superb sound, and I did not buy the model with all bells and whistles either!
