I bought my Toyota Corolla 2013 two years ago, right before I moved across the country for a job. When I set out, I searched for a car that was medium sized, good on gas, safe and reliable. This Corolla had just come to the lot. It had 33,000 miles on it and was basically as good as new. I loved that it was good for the environment and something I could rely on for a long time.

I was wary of this car at first (considering it was the only one the loan was approved for), but it has been great. As a new-ish driver, I find it easy to handle and it's a great ride for even the 4-hour trip I made with my family over the holidays. Gas mileage is nothing to bat an eye at, either.
