I love my vehicle. It's compact and gets great gas mileage, which means it is very affordable for a poor college student. It has almost 200,000 miles on it and is still running great! I do regular maintenance on it, which I think has helped, but overall, the Toyota Corolla is a very sturdy car that doesn't require a lot of expensive repairs as long as you take good care of it.

This car was a purchase out of the need to get into a new car... One with power windows, and locks and that ran. I had an older Corolla that had gotten me through high school and beyond into my early college days, but this one had been put through the ringer. It had been taken across the country, up mountain roads so in all honesty, I guess it had served its purpose, but I was fed up with it. The car was getting feisty. It wouldn't start frequently, interior was bad so I needed a new car. I went to the Toyota dealership in hope of getting a new(er) car for a reasonable payment. But I didn't think they would actually sell me into a NEW car. The smell was perfect, the interior was lovely and guess what... This car also had power everything! So I was sold. It has been almost a year in this car, and it too has been driven a lot. The car rides like a champion, gets phenomenal MPG when not in sport mode and just feels like a piece of attainable luxury. This car has SRS airbags, which is perfect for a future family and has an excellent stock radio, which is nice for a music buff like me. The pros far outweigh the cons of this car, but there are some. I love this car. I don't really have any qualms. So to any consumer looking at Corollas as a possible new car; do it! The brand has proved its reliability and resale value. Excellent car.
