I love the gas mileage first of all. The price was a bit high for the lease option but doable. The quality of the vehicle is near perfection, and Toyota overall is great quality. Safety features in this car are top notch as well with air bags pretty much everywhere. It has a back-up camera feature, so you can see what you can't over your shoulder. Stock stereo system is great without having to purchase additional or after market stereo system. Performance on driving this car is smooth and drives like a dream. Even if going fast, it doesn't even seem like you are. The lease with option to buy this car was what sealed the deal. Bluetooth features work perfectly for when I am out and about and someone needs to call me. As soon as I get in the car, it syncs to my phone without me having to do anything. The steering wheel also has hand controls for the stereo and making or taking calls. I can just push a button and voice command tells it to call the person I want. These are serious safety features to me because no more distractions while driving.

The car is a 2005 Corolla CE. What I like most about the car is definitely its reliability. So far the only problems I have had with it are problems that were my own fault for not maintaining such as changing the oil and the coolant. I got the car while I was in high school, and the majority of the time the car gets used for commuting. In the early years of the car's life, I would drive it maybe 20 miles a day. Then after I was done from school, the commute increased to maybe 30 or 40 miles a day. The car was not used for a few years and was kept in a garage, which I feel is a major reason as to why the car is in such good shape now. The exterior of the car is still in relatively good shape. With the exception of a few dings here and there, it looks good considering its age. Every year the car gets a check up either at a professional place or from a friend who knows about cars. No serious work has been done to the engine, brakes, transmission or any other major part of the vehicle.
