I love how it gets great gas mileage. I dislike how much plastic is around the edges and how the splash guard plastic clips fall out. I have had to put very little into the maintenance of the car. The engine runs fairly quite. I love how the interior on my model is black and the seats are comfortable. I wish it did have a little better acceleration, but I would have to sacrifice fuel economy for that. My oil changers say they are amazed on how clean my oil even after I drive it past the recommended time (I also work my car quite a bit). The springs in my car could be a little firmer, but that might be because I take it on dirt roads sometimes. The air through the ac sometimes leaves a musty smell even though I replaced the cabin filter. I does feel like it has a little more sway than I like, but that's alright it makes me take turns a little slower.

The Corolla is the perfect-sized vehicle for 1-4 people and daily use. It's not the most amazing car you'll ever drive, but it performs admirably for its small size and has decent fuel economy. This car will last for a very long time (130,000+ miles). It will handle just about anything you can throw at it, including ice, wind, snow, hail, rain, or shine.
