"I recently (Oct 2012) bought this car used. When I first starting looking for a reliable, no frills car back in the early 70's, I looked at Corollas but couldn't afford one as a college student. Now I finally found a good 1999 model with only 55,000 miles. If it lasts as long as I hear the Corollas will last, I will be dead before it wears out. Being 13 years old, the car has some interior and exterior cosmetic problems but it is very reliable transportation for getting to work. It has a more comfortable ride than my mom's 2009 Honda Fit. With the manual transmission, I get 35 - 37 mpg in mixed driving. It has adequate power for entering traffic and passing. I would strongly recommend this car to anyone needing basic, reliable, no frills transportation."

"I've had this 1999 Corolla CE for a few months now. It was inexpensive to buy and insure. No maintenance costs so far. It provides a comfortable ride and is less punishing on my spine than my old Civic. Performance is in line with its 120 horses, which is to say it is adequate but far from powerful. It corners without much drama and comes to a stop from speed fairly quickly. The interior is small, especially for the rear-seat passengers where there is hardly any useful legroom. Controls are simple and placed logically. Trunk space is bigger than expected for a car in this class. Fuel economy has generally been great. Never sat down and calculated it, but I'm at the gas station so infrequently now and filling the 13 gallon tank is not expensive. I've done rough math in my head and figure to be getting 30 mpg at a minimum in mixed driving. It's a nice little car. Recommended."

"Drove it for 70K miles, and over that time I easily averaged 35 MPG, which was awesome because I was a student for every one of those miles. Good for long hauls. Big trunk, but weight on the rear wheels limited what I could carry. Engine noise was a little much, especially on hills. Putting anyone over 5'8" in the back doesn't help make friends either, it can get cramped fast. The car is transportation and little else, no frills or special options. From the aspect of a daily driver and economic choice you cannot go wrong. As any other Toyota, it produced as advertised and I am confident this one could keep going way past the 140K it has now. Those commercials with Corollas with 300K+ miles aren't jokes, there is a reason behind it."
