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: Toyota quality, sound engine design, rigid unibody Cons: Weird CC, DRL, and needs special Toyota Trans fluid. The Bottom Line: Thoughtful design, peppy engine, good fuel mileage. I rate this car a solid BUY.
I purchased this car after trading in my Suzuki Vitara due to engine problems on that Vitara that the dealer would not acknowledge much less fix. I was interested in a small 4 door model that got good mileage and would be reliable. I paid 14,500 for ...

Pros: Quick accelleration, great mileage, reliable, looks nice, excellent safety rating (W/ optional side bags) ! Cons: Seating position, headroom (w/sunroof), no telescoping steering wheel or remote trunk release ! The Bottom Line: I recommend it because it is rock solid!

Pros: Fun 4-door sedan. Cons: Very few. The Bottom Line: For under $20K, I have not been in a more fun 4-door sports sedan.
I have had this car for a few days now and I am very impressed with everything so far. I was afraid of owning a 4 door car as I have always had a coupe (2 door). I thought it wouldn't look as Sporty but the standard external features are among the ...

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: 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 ...

Respondsive powertrain. Cons: Road noise at high speeds, The Bottom Line: The 2005 Toyota Corolla is both efficient and full featured, and also has a very strong track record for being reliable. You cant go wrong with this car.
If there's anyone who knows their 2005 Toyota Corolla better, it'll have to be me. I've first purchased the Toyota Corolla in January of 2005 at my friendly Toyota dealership. And since I've had it I have been up and down the west coast and piling on the ...

Comes with loads of options Cons: Quite honestly, I have nothing bad to report about this car. The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this vehicle. Toyota vehicles usually hold their value, so it is worth the initial investment.
I absolutely LOVE this car!!! It was my first new car and I'm so glad my husband talked me into it. We needed a car that would accomodate both of our sizes. He is 6'4 and I am just under 5'2. This one fits us both like a glove and is quite ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
