While my Corolla is less-than thrilling upon accelerating from a stop, the steering is precise enough for aggressively weaving through traffic on the highway (although, I do have to floor the acceleration in order to pass fellow aggressive drivers). And I love the interior; it looks and feels like that of a luxury vehicle.

I had a corolla for many years. It was great and reliable, though not so much near the end. I liked it because it had the wood paneling that made it look a little more classy, and it was inexpensive to repair when needed. The only thing I really needed to repair was the brakes every so often, and the oil, so...Routine maintenance.
