I have had my 2007 Toyota Corolla since late 2006 and bought it brand new. I love it and will drive it until it dies, which will most likely not be for a long time. I have always had Toyota cars, and they have always been incredibly reliable. My Corolla fits the same bill. It was very economical and is compact. I live in Alaska and with winter tires it drives just as well as many of the larger trucks. I love being able to maneuver into small spaces. This car even made a cross-continental trip from Massachusetts to Alaska and has years left on it. The style is very practical and the interior is durable, something I found out as a dog owner. There is enough trunk space for day-to-day needs, although it wouldn't be the type of car you would use for a big move. I have had minimal issues with the car, and I've driven about 150,000 miles. There is no rattling, and it has always run smoothly. I put this car through its paces and it is still going strong. I would highly recommend a Corolla or really any Toyota car to any of my friends or family.
