First Corolla and Lovin' it!

Have around 900 miles on my new S and have to say am pleased with my second ever Toyota (first was a 2000 Tundra). I traded a 2004 Jeep Liberty that only got 15 mpg. Performance of the 1.8L is snappy and it sips the 89 octane, which is the real reason I bought it.

Why buy a Lexus?

Have all options available for the S trim. With urban freeway driving of 60 miles/day I avg. 38 MPG (calculated miles/gals not display) No problems with steering feel - much better than Honda Civic Hybrid. Good ride comfort, quiet, no wind noise.

Great Car

I was debating between this corolla, a new Si or a used Nissan Sentra, and I went with the Corolla. I am very happy with my choice. I hated the style of the Civic Si. The car runs very smooth with no problems, and despite what many say, I have had no problems with the steering. The MPG is great. It's a fun little car to drive, great turn angle and super-easy to control. If you are into racing, you wont be beating v6 cars of course, but when you're up against another v4 consumer car, you will most likely come out as the winner thanks to the great engineering of this car.

Not all I hoped for

The car is okay. Nothing spectacular, I guess. The biggest disappointment I've had so far is that I'm getting about 21, 22 miles to the gallon despite the EPA estimate. I expected to do a little worse than the estimate, but not quite that bad. I don't know why my numbers are so much worse than everyone else's, but this is a big let down.

Awful Quality and Rattling

Rattling comes from the dashboard, seat belt housing, and back panel! Extremely annoying! Toyota Corp. Representative said that this is a normal operation in Corolla even this is not a base model trim! Despaired by Toyota!
