This is a wonderful car. I have had it for over twelve years now, and it has never given me any trouble. It is reliable, and it gets good gas mileage, about 45 MPG on highway and 35 in town. I love this car and hope to keep it another twelve years because it really is a great car. It is manual transmission, and I really like that because I love the ease of shifting the gears. The car I had previously did not shift quite as well. It also has roll down windows with a crank, but I don't mind that because you can roll the windows down even when the motor is turned off. This car is easy to fit into the tight parkings that are in most parking lots these days. You can practically turn it completely around in the middle of the street without having to back up. There is not much I dislike about this car, except maybe when I have to haul furniture and I seldom do.

I enjoy my 2009 Toyota Corolla. I bought it roughly around 2009 as a used vehicle with low miles. Since then, it is close to reaching 300,000 miles, in which I am responsible for the larger share of that amount. I have drove it across country, on 800+ mile road trips going one way. Other than having routine maintenance done, and replacing or repairing natural wear and tear items, I have very few recollections, if any, of having to get major repairs done. My Corolla has truly lasted a long time, and I trust the quality of it to continue to last me even longer. If I ever decide to get another vehicle, it more than likely will be a Toyota.
