Used Toyota Corolla for Sale in Santa Ana, CA

All in all, I thought that the Toyota Corolla was about as good as you can expect for its relatively cheap price. It costs a bit under $200 per month when leased and has a price tag of around $18,000 when bought. Given that price, the Corolla handled well enough and served its purpose but lacks in-depth modification capabilities and innate comforts.

I have had my Toyota Corolla for 17 years and it has only ever needed to be in the shop for two minor accidents I got in (to repair the body). It is completely reliable and dependable. It's small enough to fit into tight spaces, but not so small that you feel cramped sitting inside it. It rides less smoothly than it did in the early years of owning it, but it still rides smoothly overall. It has a pretty good gas-saving engine, although less so in recent years, since I have had the vehicle for an inordinate amount of time. Maneuverability is great. I have driven out-of-state from California to Utah and Arizona with comfort and no fear of car troubles at all. Plus, it performs extremely well at top speeds out on the open highway, giving a smooth, safe ride all the way to your destination. This old model of the Corolla does not have any electric built-in equipment, other than an old tape-deck and radio due to the time period it was made. But, what is built-in to the car has also aged well with the car itself. Some of the interior carpeting on the ceiling of the interior has ripped and the interior frame molding has cracked over the years due to sun exposure. I have trouble keeping the car out of the hot Southern California sun, but that's more my own problem with not having a garage to park the car in. I doubt these problems would exist if I had always had it parked in a garage where a car belongs. It's been a fun vehicle to drive since I was a young adult and continues to aid me well into my adulthood for any and all of my transportation needs.
