Pretty Good for the most part

I bough my 20005 corolla new, we drove it everyday for about 3yrs and the transmission gave out after 66,000 miles, just after the warrant expired, we haggled with the dealer and they gave us a new transmission valued at $5000, then it was a cracked radiator in 2013 I still drive it and it has 237000 miles on it.

Still going after all these years

I have never had major work done on this car. It has 163,000 miles and I still get 35-37 MPH on the highway. Changed the battery once, the brakes a couple of times, bought new tires and kept the oil changed. That's the extent of the repairs on it. For the past 5-6 years, my check engine light will come on when it gets cold weather and won't go off again until someone turns it off. They have run it through the computer several times and can't find anything wrong. So the light stays on, but I just ignore it.

05 Corolla LE

Bought this car brand new in '05. Paid 12K. Never one repair in ten plus years. I keep the oil changed and had to change the brakes around 90k. Car now has 150k. Great car for the money.

Worth the money

I bought car brand new in may 2005 and its still in my driveway as of 2015. It has 250,000 miles and its all original. Decent interior and exterior because of the s package. Would recommend this for people looking for reliable transportation.

Great Fuel Economy

I live 64 miles from work (128 miles round trip x 5 days) and I am averaging 37 MPG. Great little car with super gas miles. Stick shift took a little getting used to, but definitely enjoy this vehicle.

Bad communication between salesman and manager

I went to buy a car and salesman gave me different price than manager. Don't go there because it is just waste of time.
