The Toyota Corolla has been the best I have ever owned.  With the high price of gas these days, the great gas mileage is a definite plus.  My family will usually opt to take my car on longer trips to save money and great interior space.  One of my favorite features is the white background on the dashboard panel with the odometer, makes it easy to see.  The Corolla has been very low maintenance compared to my previous car (Ford Contour).  I purchased an extra warranty which I was able to cash in this year when it was not used.  I believe in synthetic oil and premium gasoline.  I would definitely recommend this car to friends.  

Pros: Great Mileage, good interior space, white background of odometer
Cons: The rearview mirror gets hit when I put my visor down

Performance - would have been better if not for its poor choices of engine makes
Build Quality - as a toyota, bullet proof, can be used as a taxi and would be in service far longer than my relationship with my past girlfriends, but after the initial 5 years things tend to get pretty expensive
Appearance - get a little boring after a while, not even Brad Pitt could save the image. Interior needs to get a little bigger, and changing seat cover is f*cking mental. stereo's CD entry bogged down after 3 years but still sound good
Cost of Ownership - first 5 years was a breeze, then the transmission conked, the AC dusty, mileage plummets
FUn Factor - zilch

Pros: none
Cons: automatic transmission

This car is super reliable as you would expect Toyotas to be.  The only thing that has broken in the last 5 years is a burned-out tail light!  I have always liked the Corolla's steering and handling from a "really easy" point of view.  It's a bit gutless, but what do you expect from this sucker?  Great gas mileage, minimal maintenance needed.  Roomier inside than you would expect, and I've fit a 14-foot ladder through the trunk.  Fun factor?  Well, it's a "sit in traffic" kind of car, and it does that well.  It's not bad looking, but nothing special.  

Pros: build quality, reliability, cost of ownership
Cons: performance, fun factor, stealability

Performance - decent acceleration, somewhat good brakes, handling is very good.
Build Quality - i would say very poor. lots of stuff fall apart within the first year.
Appearance - exterior is somewhat ugly, interior is good.
Cost of ownership - mileage is good, maintenance is low.
Fun factor - good handling, takes alot of abuse.

Pros: Handling, gas mileage
Cons: Horrible build quality

This is the kind of car my brother has. He doesn't care about cars and doesn't really take care of it and it's never had even one mechanical problem. Ever. The Corolla is everything you'd expect, and nothing you wouldn't. Its exterior styling, performance, and interior are as bland and sensible as any church-going suburbanite could hope for. And, it gets great gas mileage. If you never think about your car when you're not driving, the Corolla is perfect for you.

Pros: Great build quality, incredible reliability, good mpg.
Cons: Bland.
