This car was an absolutely great purchase for the right owner. We have had the car for over 8 years (bought barely used with 20,000 miles) and it now has almost 200,000 miles on it. We have made NO REPAIRS on this car outside of the normal expected wear and tear fixes like oil changes, new tires, new windshield wiper blades. The gas mileage has been great as well. We are cyclists and for a sedan the size is great because you can fit a bike in the trunk or backseat if you take the wheels off. However, if you care about how your car looks cosmetically, some funny things happened with this car and I've noticed on other similar cars on the road. For example the hub caps seem to fall off and the paint peeled off the front bumper. These could be easily fixed but we just didn't care.

The Toyota corollary is a common car and acts that way. But has the dependability none can compare to. The car gets me from a to b in no special manner but I know it will always do it without giving me a headache. Overall it a good purchase for your money.
