I have a 2007 Toyota corolla which has been the by far the best car I have owned. Its silver with manual windows and its an automatic. Quality wise it is the best car for its price, I have had to do hardly any maintenance to it. It has 300,000 plus miles on it and it still runs like it was just purchased.

The new Corollas leave much to be desired in the way of acceleration, speed and overall engine performance. When in comes to fuel mileage, however, I will confess that the Corolla is close to top shelf. I often find myself looking at the fuel gauge wondering when the last time I filled up was and being unsure because it was so long ago. The back-up camera is also very handy, as well. It saves a lot of time looking over the shoulders and checking all the mirrors (which I still do, just spend less time doing it). It takes away a lot of blind spots. The touchscreen dash display overall is a very convenient and innovative addition to the consumer vehicle. If I could sum up the Corolla on a 5-star basis, I would give it a 2.7. While the MPG does give it some credibility to me, I really dislike the weakness of the engine. And while I'm at it, I also hate the design of the oil filter and the difficulty that come with replacing it as an amateur.
