Used Toyota Corolla for Sale in Alexandria, VA

It's the best ride a college student can finance for herself. It is extremely reliable, good acceleration, smooth ride. Of course there are many upgrades possible: rear cup holders, faster heating and cooling system, rear-facing camera, faster windshield defrost, and most importantly better gas mileage. The seats are adequate, but more leg room should be afforded in newer versions. The interior does not heat up too fast when you leave it out in the sun. When you drop something, however, it's really hard to retrieve it because the seats don't go backwards or forwards all the way, and you basically need really thin fingers digging around for that cell phone or that credit card. I like the clarity of the sound system, though the bass is a bit too strong. The windshield wipers are great. Trunk space is kind of limited, but for a single college girl, it's perfect. It is hard to get spilled substances out of the felt in the back, and odors accumulate easily in the car due to poor air flow. Braking is great, very reliable, and the engine does not overheat. I do not expect that much more out of what I paid, and in fact, this car exceeds expectations. Easy to park, easy to maneuver, adequate head room for someone of average height, good view.

I went looking for a car and was drawn to this one because of its color. It’s silver and I thought it would go with my hair and a lot of my clothes. Very superficial, I know. I just knew I needed another car and knew nothing about purchasing one. It is a mid level I believe, not real large but plenty large enough for myself and grandkids when they are with me. I took it for a test drive and like the way it handled and also liked the information the salesman told me about the mileage and other features. Since I didn’t see any other cars I was drawn to on that lot and didn’t want to go to others, I decided to buy it. It has not given me any trouble and the only thing that has been replaced was the battery which went out last summer and the tires that needed changing at the inspection last fall. It had about 23,000 miles on it when I bought it in 2012
