  Better than my old Kia Spectra - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Jennifer - March 4 - 6:13 pm

  A great, fun car! I previously owned a Kia Spectra and didnt enjoy it at all. My Corolla is such a great car. Much roomier in the drivers seat. Lots of trunk space. I think it is the best car in its class.

  05 Corolla - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Mike - February 5 - 1:00 pm

  My wife and I bought this car new!! Being that I was a Ford owner I bought the Corolla with a 200k/6yr powertrain warranty! In 195000 kms warranty covered ECM, Fuel Punp, Wheel Bearing and Timing chain seal!! The pump and ECM failure is odd but not totally unheard of, but compared to the 97 Ford Taurus, the toyota quality is unsurpassed! I too have a strange whistling sound from windscreen at higher speeds! Oh ya...door seal were replaced after on yr!! One cam loose so dealer changed them all!!! Great dealer service!!!

  Good small car - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By SJN - February 3 - 5:43 am

  I bought this car w/10k mi. Likes: Fuel economy, 38 mpg (70% hwy). Comfortable seats, roomy interior, good trunk room with fold down rear seat back feature, good acceleration & power w/5 speed manual trans, & good ride on most roads. Dislikes: OEM Gdyr Integrity tires were worn out at 20,000 mi. Replaced with Gdyr Triple-Treds. These seem to be wearing much better but are noisier. Road noise is annoying,especially over coarse pavement. Wind and engine noise are also very noticeable at highway speeds.The radio sound distorts at higher volume (cheap speakers) and is nearly useless at highway speeds when competing with the road noise. The CD player sometimes skips when I hit a bounce.

  overall a good car - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By pakiangel - January 15 - 10:00 am

  its a good car, but during accidents the body is weak and gets damaged by minor hits. This car is fuel efficient and looks very nice for being a sedan. I enjoy driving it and the red color is my fav.

  2005 Corolla S - 2005 Toyota Corolla

  This is my second brand new Toyota, and I love it. Good handling and very roomy for a small car. True to Toyota for being "economical" on gas.

  Knock on Wood! - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By 05Rolla - January 12 - 8:03 am

  I purchased this car with 6 miles on it. I love this car. Every time Im tempted to purchase a new car, I just cant imagine departing from my Corolla. Made in the USA by GM workers, this car has quality. Besides some initial, and minor, warranty issues, Ive done nothing but change her oil and give her a new set of tires. I can only imagine this being an awesome buy as a used car because it really is quite versatile. Decent trunk, spacious interior, decent design.

  I like my Corolla. - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Dave - December 31 - 7:10 pm

  This car does just what I bought it for. It gets good mileage and is quite comfortable. I get 41 miles to the gallon. It is a stick shift. The only thing I would like is to have it somewhat heavier. It gets taken away in strong wind. I would buy it again gladly.

  Great Car - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Mac - December 14 - 7:30 am

  3000+ mile trip. 39.9 MPG with automatic transmission and A/C running in June. Gets 28 to 31 MPG in city. Most economical car I have ever owned. Battery failed at 26000 miles. Out of state dealership paid tow and battery at no charge. Couldnt ask for better service and I cant fault any company about a defective battery.
