The Bottom Line: Great Car

Pros: Keeps going, and going. No major issues.
Cons: Faulty lighting systems.
The Bottom Line: Reliable car. You honestly have no worries in this ride. Aside from oil changes, this car rarely gets sick.
I am one of these people that believe when you speak highly of your car, it breaks down, or something terrible happens to it. So, excuse me while I take a moment to knock on wood. Okay then; I've had my Toyota Corolla 98 LE edition for... drum roll ...

The Bottom Line: If price, reliability and safety are your initiatives, this is THE car to buy.

Pros: Good gas mileage, very dependable
Cons: Not too powerful, not a lot of frills, doesn't corner the best
My wife and I have had our Corrolla for a year and a half now and have had no problems. It is a reliable, inexpensive (to operate and purchase) automobile if not a little boring.

Right after graduating from college a year and a half ago, I purchased a 1998 Toyota Corolla LE as my first car. For two reasons really.

Reliability is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Toyota.

Pros: Reliability, fuel economy, just a well-built car
Cons: "Extras" are limited, can't accommodate large numbers of people or things
The Bottom Line: I think it's wonderful for someone of limited means who needs basic cheap transportation. If you can afford it, however, buy up.
I bought my 1998 Corolla in January 1999. I was desperate for a new car after my beloved Tercel was savagely murdered on I-95 on Thanksgiving weekend. Although the car was sold as "new" it was considered a leftover. In addition, it had only the barest of ...
