This has been a great little car, I love that I can drive a long time with out having to fill up the gas tank because the car is so fuel efficient. I have over 150,000 miles on this car and I feel that it will last a very long time. I have never had the car into the shop except for routine maintenance. My only complaint is that I had to get the paint redone because it began to chip.

When buying my current car, I had worried about the mileage since I was changing jobs at the time. My commute was going to be approximately 100 miles per day, so a mid-sized vehicle seemed out of the question at the time. When it came down to choosing between the Prius and the Corolla, the price of the vehicle itself played into the decision, but it was more of how the commute would impact the mileage (mostly hills). I've been extremely happy with the decision to purchase the Corolla and have helped friends in similar situations make that same decision with positive results.
