I purchased this vehicle to be a commuter car. So far, it has lived up to exactly what I was looking for. I got the more expensive package, but when you are in your car for two-plus hours a day, you want a little luxury to make it better for yourself. I have put a lot of miles on it in a short amount of time, but my car has lived up to everything I wanted, and it has not really begun to show signs of the wear and tear. The only thing I dislike about it is that it is an automatic transmission car. My last car was a manual transmission, and I made the choice to switch to automatic because of traffic. I do miss my manual though. It has performed beautifully! I routinely get the oil changed and take care of it, so it is doing what it needs to do.

This has been a great car. With almost 200,000 miles on it, the Toyota Corolla has been worth every penny I paid for it the car. It is not that fancy. It has standard trim package cloth seats, CD radio, A/C, power windows and locks, four-cylinder engine and a nice size trunk. I have took this car on many trips and adventures. I have never had a problem with it. I have only had to do standard maintenance such as tune up, tires and brakes, yearly smog check, etc. This car is great on gas and seems to ride for ever on a full tank. The car is small and can fit in some small parking spaces and is easy to handle as well. The Corolla has good highway pickup to be a small four-cylinder engine. It is not as smooth a ride as say the Toyota Camry but it is still smooth enough. I take this car when I want to maneuver through the crowded city, and the only parking you can find is for a compact car this is not as small as a compact, but it still fits the spot well.
