Best Car Ever

Without doubt the Corolla is the most reliable and most economical automobile on the market. Gas mileage is amazing! Well cared for, the Corolla will last a lifetime. I wish I would have bought several years ago when the price was so low.

Very reliable

This car is considered a compact car, so if you are looking for space this isn't the car for you. However, it has great fuel economy and I know it won't be breaking down anytime soon.

Comfortable car

This is a perfect car for any first time drivers or young owners. Runs well with great gas mileage. Can handle long road trips. Doesn't accelerate too quickly and decent stock stereo.

A good and simple car, but brutally ugly.

Excellent performance due to being lightweight and good engine & transmission responsiveness when overdrive is off, otherwise it's sluggish but still good. Excellent mechanical reliability. Very good fuel economy due to being lightweight and not having a powerful engine. Decent ride comfort as in you will feel all of the bumps but it's not spine shattering terrible. Road/outside noise is quite loud. Cargo capacity is good and interior capacity and rear legroom is huge for a compact sedan. Rear seats can be folded down. Interior looks & quality is good. Interior controls are very simple and easy to use, perfect for the elderly. Easy maintenance. Audio is decent. Exterior is brutally ugly, the shape looks fat, the headlights are too big for its size, and has no sense of style. I have no idea what is wrong with Toyota as the same car in Japan, the 2006 Corolla G, has the same exterior shape and interior except it has different headlights/taillights & some other changes which makes it look a million times better than the NA version and it has a lot of cool features that the top of line Avalons in the US doesn't have it. And this is same case for majority of the Japanese cars in the US where it is very basic and ugly vs the same ones in Japan where it looks good, has quality materials, and feature rich. Bottom line is that if you don't care about the negatives of this car, then get a Toyota Yaris as that is very similar with slightly less stuff but cheaper than a Corolla.

133,000 Miles!

I have 133,000 miles on my Corolla. I used to own three series BMW's but have found that Toyotas are much more comfortable for long trips. My Corolla drives very smoothly and does not feel like a high mileage, worn out car, by any means. I'm a single woman. This car has been incredibly dependable! I would recommend it to any one who depends on a solid car.

A Great Buy

The car is just the right size for me. I'm very short and the seat is placed just right for me. I like the quiet ride and the interior is nice. I had an alignment done and the breaks checked. Carfax did a extremely thorough critique and there weren't any surprises. The dealer, Bill Collins Ford, were willing to negotiate the price. Thank you.

Extremely reliable

I commute 200 miles a day, five days a week. I have over 500,000 miles on this car and it still runs like a charm. You cannot go wrong buying a Corolla.
