| “Toyota Corolla” Very good made car.Good engine and gear box works like orhiestra. Acceleration is good (less than 10 sec to 100km/h) Brakes are good and road of brake is short. Materials inside are good quality what makes car silence inside and good car audio system. I admire to drive this car.
Pros —
Good engine and gearbox
Cons —
Front wheels drive

| “An Above Average Corolla” Reviewing:
2008 Toyota Corolla CE
The Toyota Corolla is normally billed as the most boring car you could buy. In some ways that is true, its never been an outstanding car and whatever it does well will be defeated next year since it only does well in categories like fuel economy, reliability, etc. Now this version of the Corolla, the 2003-2008 version, has been largely ignored by most auto enthusiasts. I don't feel that this particular car is deserving of the most boring title, I believe that's better suited to the Corolla that replaced this one.
Pros —
Build very well, good steering feel, solid A to B car
Cons —
Boring styling, some cheap plastics, body roll is bad, thus handling suffers

| “Awesome Ride” Reviewing:
2008 Toyota Corolla S
This car saves you $$$ on gas. I am a student and I drive a lot and this car is perfect. Performance wise this car is moderate not really a speed machine and not really school bus slow. The car looks great and feels great. If you buys this car from the dealer buy it with the sunroof worth the extra money.
Pros —
Gas, Appearance, Reliability
Cons —
Can get crowded with alot of people

| “Too Common For Me, But An Amazing Car Nonetheless.” Reviewing:
2008 Toyota Corolla CE
Very Reliable, great on gas, handles surprisingly well (it weighs somewhere around 2600 i think). Looks are bland. You see them ALL over the place, but for good reason. They're some people's answer to gas prices. My dad's got one. Best car he's had in a long time. Not my kind of ride...it's not fast enough. But it's a great car all around.
Pros —
Gas mileage, reliability, handling, comfortable, spacious.
Cons —
TOO common. Looks are somewhat boring.

| “Fuel Economy” Reviewing:
2008 Toyota Corolla LE
I love this car!! I even got 45 miles to the gallon once. The color is great and the wood grain is soothing. I've taken it camping, and even I can carry all I need.
Pros —
Fuel Economy
Cons —
Light - Blown in the wind

| “Good City Commuter, Not Very Sporty”
After having driven the Corolla all the way to the north coast about 250 KM from my place, I can say it's good enough, not my cup of tea though;
Pros —
+ Its smooth, very smooth and quiet, in fact most of the time I cant tell whether the engine is running or not, luckily the LED on the start button gives indication :D
+ The keyless entry option is very nice, its there on other cars, but as part of the package of the corolla, it gives a nice addition. + It feels well refined overall. + The 2 tone interior (sand beige and black) looks very good, the in dash 6 mp3 changer is very good, also the controls of the MF steering wheel are well placed and intuitive, more intuitive than Porsche actually. + The one I drove had the manual tranny, it's very good and smooth. +The suspension soaks up the bumps, potholes and all the irregularities on the road well, without sacrificing high speed stability, I think its a good compromise between stiffness and softness. + Dunno whether standard on all models or an option, but the auto dimming interior mirror is very useful. + The auto climate control is good, with its controls well laid out. + Has a trip computer. + The dash is well laid out too. + Good brakes, the ABS threshold is good too.
Cons —
- Doesnt give good steering or shifting feedback, you really need to keep an eye on the RPM or you'll miss your shifts.
- The steering seems like its more comfort oriented than sporty, its not as sharp as the C4's steering nor handles as good, also as stated in the previous point, lacks good feedback. - Only the driver's window has a one-touch operation, all other 3 dont, really annoying. - Cant shut the windows from outside, also annoying. - The side mirrors do not dim with the interior one, and they are large and badly designed IMHO. - Not as much fun as the C4. - Not very roomy inside, our 2005 Hyundai Elantra is much roomier.
