I own a silver 2005 Toyota Corolla S. I bought it used with only 1 owner, and it had around 40k miles. I have owned the car for 9 years now and it is the most reliable car I have ever driven. There are no rattles, and there are virtually no blind spots. The gas mileage is great, too! It's a very practical car with enough trunk space for when you go grocery shopping. Mine has a sunroof which is great for nice summer days! I really like the body style of this car, it is sleek and not too feminine or masculine which I love. With two kids it is nice to be able to fit two car seats in the back comfortably. I would definitely purchase another Toyota again because of how reliable they are. The only con is that now that the kids are getting a little older I will be needing some extra room, and will need to upgrade to a larger car.

I love this car. Its fuel economy is stellar, the build quality is amazing, and the mechanical reliability is awesome. I haven't had to do anything other than regular maintenance to the car in the 200k miles that I've driven it. Nothing has gone wrong more than needing to take it in for a recall a few years ago, and even that was free, quick, and easy. I haven't needed anything for the car, and based on Toyota's track record, I don't expect to need anything major in the near future, if ever. When I purchased the car, the cost to own was a huge factor for me, and this came out as one of the cheapest cars on the market in the long run.
