Used Toyota Corolla for Sale in Ottumwa, IA

There are many great things about the Toyota Corolla. First and foremost, it is excellent on gas mileage. I get about roughly 33 mpg combined. Additionally, it has been very reliable so far. I have yet to have any issues with the vehicle. I purchased it Certified Pre-Owned with approximately 33,000 miles on it. I have been getting routine oil changes and tire rotations since I purchased it with absolutely no mechanical or electrical issues. The car now has 75,000 miles. This vehicle is almost very inexpensive compared to other vehicles on the market today. You get a great deal for the price--and that is hard to find these days! One downfall about the vehicle is the size. If you are tall, it can be difficult to get in and out of the vehicle as well as drive or ride in it. I feel a little claustrophobic in the car, but I suppose that's the price I pay for better fuel economy. Additionally, the trunk is pretty small and doesn't offer much capacity for storage. Additionally, this vehicle doesn't prove to be the greatest in winter weather. It isn't terrible, but it does not maneuver well in snow, as the car is quite low to the ground. I prefer not to drive this vehicle during the winter in possibly slick conditions and/or snowy roads.

Overall, this car has been reliable and steady for us, which is what you want out of a car. My wife and I purchased this car when we were only one year out of college, and it has held up through seven years of our life with no major issues. There have been no breakdowns, no parts that needed replacing, and no major repairs. Regular oil changes are all that is needed to keep the car running smoothly and getting us to work and school.

I like the Corolla because it is small but powerful. When I step on the accelerator, it responds instantly. It gives me confidence that in case of an emergency, I could get out of danger fast.
