I have always been a fan of Toyota cars. I had two other Toyotas before I bought the Toyota Corolla I have today, and I have yet to experience any disappointment with the brand. My Corolla is extremely reliable, which is important to me as I have to make a 720-mile trip multiple times a year to visit family and friends in my home city. Other than the 100,000-mile tune up, I have not had to put any major repairs into the car - making it an economical vehicle for me as a student. The fuel economy is great, too. I can usually get through a 6-hour road trip and not need to stop for gas until I get to my destination. I like the idea that I'll be able to drive this car for a very long time, as Toyotas are built to last.

The Toyota Corolla is a spacious car for being a fuel-friendly car. I can fit 3 booster seats in the back. The trunk is also very large. It's stylish. The ride is comfortable. I got the base model, and I love it. I love the manual transmission. I was shopping around for a long time to find a manual. Some of the base models where too basic...no automatic windows or lock? No thanks. The Corolla is perfect. It gets great gas mileage. I am hoping to pass it down to my 10-year-old daughter. Then I'll buy a new Corolla. Also, the price was great. It is a hard car to pass up. I did splurge and added in the cruise control for our family trips. You won't be disappointed with the Corolla. One more thing, my friend is still driving his 1995 Corolla.
