That thing will last forever

It will last forever. We just traded it in because we wanted a car with a backup camera but otherwise we would have kept it forever. It will never break down. Toyota?s get a bad rap but this corolla is comfortable reliable and will last forever.

Most reliable car I have ever owned

Lots of trunk space . Great gas mileage. Great stereo. We just hit 300,000 km's and it is still running strong! We are going to drive it till it doesn't drive no more, then we are buying another Toyota. Hopefully a Rav 4, because we need more room for our growing family. We own a 2012 Tundra too. Love it!!

Crazy reliable

I got this car when my great grandmother died as my first car and with regular maintenance I currently have 170,000 miles on it and never had any issues. The seats are a little comfort but are awkward to find a good position to sit in when you?re 6?3?. I absolutely love the way it handles and accelerated. It?s nothinf that?ll blow your mind but it handles very well and can accelerate quite well. Makes for a great city car. The cabin is a little loud. But for the $17,000 my great grandmother payed for that car new and regular maintenance has kept the car running for 170k miles and I?m sure I can go for a while more.

Very reliable car

I purchased my car brand new in 2005. I have put 186,000 miles on it and haven?t had any issues. Only normal repairs have been needed over the last 12 years. It is a very reliable car and easy to drive. It has met all of my needs in an affordable, gas friendly car. I would have to say the only downsides are lack of horsepower/torque and the road noise. All in all it?s a great car for the price. I know I could easily put another 100,000+ miles on it.

A GREAT little car.

Relatively comfortable but the gas mileage was great! Even after 12 years and 180 miles, the gas mileage was superb.
