Excellent car

This is my every day driver and it is great. I have the sport model so it looks nice and has the power I like. Have never had any problems with it. It is extremely reliable.

Everyone knows a Toyota is made to last!

I?ve owned my Corolla for 10 years, and it?s still dependable and low maintenance. It?s easy to drive, great on gas, and sits 4 passengers very comfortably (5 if a smaller passenger sits in the middle). No matter what year, a Corolla is a reliable, affordable choice for just about anyone.

The best daily driver

This car exceeds most expectations. On the outside it?s conservative, yet beautiful. On the inside it?s plain, and simplistic. This car has no frills or special features (besides heated mirrors on the base model!!!) it?s the most basic daily driver. And that is exactly why it?s so perfect. 40mpg highway, very smooth driving. It?s everything I needed for college, and everything I wanted in a daily driver.

Too many recalls!

Just set aside another of my rare free days to have more recall work done on my Corolla. Seriously, has everybody had to take their vehicle back to the deslership for recalls this often. I owned a Saturn before, bought used from the same Beaverton dealership that sold me another used and later a brand new Toyota. Since Beaverton Toyota remodelled and expanded, my experience has been consistently poor. I won't be purchasing another Toyota, or any other vehicle, from them.

One of the best vehicles I own.

Perfect mid-size. Hasn't given me any issues since I got it 3 years ago. Responds perfectly when I'm in the city and good for long distance journeys which I do a lot of. I run a routine check on all parts every 4 months so I guess that's why it's been so good to me. Everybody needs a vehicle like this when just starting out and I plan to give it to my sister when she gets her license.

Really nice Car

It has great drive, performs well. This car meets most of my needs. Cons: Interior design (like all the cars these days, it is hard to see out of the back and the end of the front of the car) the headrests slant forward, there is no ashtray.
