The Quintessence Of The Practical Everyday/all Year Round Stop-and-go Traffic Eater — Corolla keeps being the quintessence of the everlasting, trouble-free, almost maintenance-free always-enduring passenger vehicle. It's practical, economical and dependable. It's also boring and monotonous to drive, even though the 1.8 liter 130hp engine it equips makes sort of a bid for "some" driving excitement or at least, for prevent me from falling asleep while driving. Acceleration is pretty good, whle cornering and handling are average in the best of cases. Interior space is just enough -rear passengers won't complain- trunk capacity is average and materials & building quality is above average, but not expect european-level finish. Overall, this car does exceptionally well the job that has build Toyota's reputation for bullet-proof reliability over the years: every time i turn the ignition on, it works. Always. No complains.

Good Handling (with Good Tires Installed) Great Mpg's, Fun To Drive. — I think this car looks like a space ship. Other than that, the gas mileage... HOLY CRAP!! About $25 to fill it at 2.50/gal and you go at least 400 miles per tank.... so damn near 40 miles to gallon..highway, and it's not even a hybrid! Not a car for the tall one's though. I am 5'8" and my wife is 5'6" and with the car seat in the back, my knees are close to the dash, but still comfy though. could use a little more leg room in front. accelerates and brakes great. Current tires suck on wet roads though. owned a little over a year and 1/2, no maint. needed yet! has the 5 speed tranny, so it's fun to drive!! no cruise though, so not so much fun on road trips! great car all around

Nice, Clean, Cool, Reliable, — I purchased the car at 77K for $6500 which was an amazing deal at the time. Compared to other seller I saved at least $1500. It has been nothing short of great to me since. No problems. I would recommend this car

Great Value For The Money. — I love everything about this car. It runs like a charm. It has a great heater and air conditioner and the seats are comfortable. Reliability and Toyota reputation makes this car the best value on the road. 90% of Corollas built since 1990 are still running.

Good College Car — I love this car. When gas prices were sky high, I continued to spend very little at the pump - all because this car can go a long way without needing gas! The gray color was perfect for me because it doesn't show dirt like other colors do, which allowed for less time spent at the car wash while still looking shiny and clean. All in all it was a good college car and served me very well throughout college and graduate school.

Affordable And Reliable — Performance is good for a 130hp. Acceleration is average. The design and the rims need a bit tweaking. Nice affordable price. Leather interior will be nice. The maintenance cost is low. Good fuel usage. The electronic part needed some repairs.

I Love This Car!!! — This car is in great condition. I just need something bigger. It has a clean title (never been wrecked or in an accident). Interior of the car is in great condition, there are no rips or tears in any of the seats or floor boards. This car gets 30 mpg city and 38 mpg highway (I know I have calculated it every time I put gas in it). It has remote keyless entry, power locks, power windows, CD, AM/FM, and cassette player, great AC and Heat, and, tinted windows. It has been very well taken care of and kept up to date on everything. The performance of this car is great, although it is a 4 cylinder it will get up and go. This car does not cost much to maintain or fill up with gas. It is a great car!!! I would recommend this car to anyone.
