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.
I have a 2005 Corolla CE w. PKG C. This car is such a lemon. It's been to various area dealerships with no real fix. I'll start out with the PRO's: ** GREAT Gas Millage! I can go over 600km (~400mi) on a tank. ** Smooth highway ride ** Good ...

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: Excellent seats, comfortable ride, high-quality interior, impressive refinement for a sport compact.
Cons: Slow-revving, peaky engine, high-chair driving position, not much fun for a sport compact.
The Bottom Line: The Corolla XRS is an oddly passionless pocket rocket--it's smooth and refined, but doesn't beg to be driven hard. Whether that's worth $18,000 is up to you.
My Experience I test-drove a Toyota Corolla XRS at a local dealership. My test drive lasted about forty-five minutes and covered city streets, the freeway, and an empty parking lot that served as an impromptu autocross course. ...

Pros: Fuel economy, 'cute' backside, Resale & reliability
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 ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Refinement, high RPM power, steering feel, supportive front seats, rear seat comfort
Cons: Short half a liter, not as fun to drive as many competitors, pricey
The Bottom Line: Others are more fun and less pricey, but if refinement is a high priority this could be the one.
Sport compact enthusiasts have never taken the Corolla seriously. Sure, an “S” version of the small Toyota sedan has been available for four years, but as factory tuners go this one has been as lame as they come. With the same powertrains, ...

Pros: Reliable car,good gas milage,acceptable parts prices,
Cons: Engine is too noisy, wind is not your friend, worst radio, rattling noises,low quality tires.
The Bottom Line: By the way,I negotiated this car for the invoice price plus $CAD 400,plus financing interest.Before you buy, check the invoice price of the car and you will save a thousand.
This is NOT a sports car!!! Even XRS model! If you like sports, stay away from this car! But it is an excellent commuter! If you need a reliable vehicle just to drive around, with a good gas milage- get this car and you will not be disappointed. I was ...

Pros: Renowned Quality, Fit and Finish, Decent Performance, Gas Mileage
Cons: HORRIBLE Driving Position, "56 Beeps", No Remote Trunk Release, Cloth Interior...and others
The Bottom Line: A good reliable car for people of all ages,and the price is right.
Because of the current gas prices and the amount of travel throughout the week, I decided the time was right for a more economical automobile. My first stop was to the Mazda dealership to check out the new Mazda 3. This was a nice car, but I couldn't ...

The Bottom Line: The absolute most reliable small car you can purchase in North America for under 20 grand.
2005 Toyota Corolla Decision time There are two ways for people to get into a Toyota. One is the hard way; the second one is the smart way. The hard way is when someone goes thru numerous unreliable, fast depreciating cars before making up ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
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 ...

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: Gas mileage, appearance, plenty of storage compartments, FULL-SIZE spare!
Cons: Wind and road noises
The Bottom Line: Corolla is a great small car if you want good mileage and aren't expecting a small luxury car.
I bought the Corolla LE that has the cloth seats, 6 CD changer, locking alloys, tint, remote entry thing, cruise and power window/power locks, and mudguards...I also have one of the extra mile packages that gives me all the mats, nets, and first aid kit, ...

Pros: Good mileage, fun to drive, very comfortable, good lines, and room for passengers.
Cons: Terrible tires, visibility for short people is poor, area behind trunk scratches too easily.
The Bottom Line: Definitely consider this one, good basic transportation even if slightly overpriced!
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 ...
