Pros: Reliability, quality, well built.
Cons: None so far!!!
The Bottom Line: Based on Toyota's legendary reputation for quality and dependability, you can't go wrong!
I bought a 2005 Toyota Corolla S in August 2005; it had 3 miles on it when I bought it. I bought the car largely for the increasing gas prices. So far, I've gotten between 32 and 36 miles per gallon. The price of the car, especially when you add ...

Pros: Price, design, MPG, size, reliability.
Cons: None
The Bottom Line: This is the second Corolla that I have owned and it won't be the last.
Great gas mileage, great ride, lots of room what else would you want from a car? With the gas prices being so high I love that I have a car that gets great mileage and does not cost me $100 to fill up! I do not think I have put more than $50 in the tank ...

Pros: Sporty
Dependable
Attractive
Excellent Air conditioner and heater

I've owned my 05 Corolla CE 4 cylinder with automatic for almost a year now, bought used as a certified Corolla, and have done some things to make it better--for me anyway. As for background, I needed an economical car to drive as I travel 40-50 miles a ...

Pros: Gas Mileage, Handling
Cons: Reliability, Handling in bad weather, acceleration, Heat and Air Conditioning
The Bottom Line: I know this is one of the most sold cars in the world, but I don't think its even average.
I bought a Toyota because I expected to get a reliable car, but this has not been the case. I have had to make several repairs within the year including replacing the catalytic converter and the battery went. I know a battery could use replacing, but my ...

Pros: Gas millage, Smooth highway ride, Psgr seating pos., a/c, heat, radio.
Cons: Driver pos., stalling, bucking, sweeking, rough ride in city, poor dealer service depts.
The Bottom Line: I purchased a Toyota because of their reputation, and I am terribly disappointed with this car. Look to Honda & Mazda for a good quality Japanese car.

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliability, fuel economy, value, easier on the eye than some in class
Cons: Interior Upholstery, Driving position, can't find one with ABS
The Bottom Line: Excellent value, but it won't thrill you. Leading consumer magazine rates it best for reliability in class.
I'm in the process of looking for a commuter vehicle that will be something I can pass on to my daughter when she reaches driving age. (2 years - where did all the time go! But I digress.) So, recently I've driven the ECHO, the Mazda3, the Matrix, the ...

Pros: Many features included in this standard model that aren't included in other basic model cars.
Cons: Road noise and bumpy ride on less than perfect roads.
The Bottom Line: Overall, this is a good car for the money compared to other economy models. It's attractive and has extra features that were not standard with other models.
*Updated Review I waited eight months to write a review on my "new" car to give that first blush of love time to run its course. Now that winter has ended and the car is covered in road dust and the inside mats are caked with mud, I feel ready to ...

Pros: Decent mileage, airbags and amenities for the price.
Cons: Seats collect fuzz, driver's seat uncomfortable, mileage could be better (Gas prices are skyrocketing!)
The Bottom Line: Buy it if you can't afford a hybrid.
I purchased a 2005 Toyota Corolla LE with side airbags and a 6 CD changer on New Year's Eve day at a Toyota dealer in San Jose, CA. The transaction went smoothly (I'd recommend Piercey Toyota over the other dealerships in the area - especially Magnussen ...

Cons: Bland interior, dull engine
The Bottom Line: -
Foreword Here in Vancouver,BC I see are a lot of old Corollas. From what I've seen, they're being driving around by mostly older folk - people 40-50+. I would guess that most of these cars are from around 1997-98, and their exterior styling ...
