  An Absolute Winner !!! - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Larry - December 9 - 3:30 pm

  I bought this as a follow-up to a 99 Corolla that is still in the family. This one is loaded with a 5-speed and cruise control - I get 33 mpg in the city and 42-44 mpg on the highway with cruise on. This car is extremely fun to drive, very responsive, and for a smaller car is very quiet on the highway. The AC works great in 90-100 temps. Standing 63" I cannot believe the leg room I have in this car, and, I dont even have to have the seat all the way back to drive. The seat is very comfortable as I went from Ohio to Philadelphia without getting the back ache or lower body aches. I highly recommend this Toyota winner !!!!

  My Third Corolla - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Richard - December 5 - 7:06 pm

  The 2005 Corolla replaced a 10 year old Toyota Tercel with 250,000 miles on it and is my third Corolla since 1978. Ive owned the Corolla for 14 months and have 45,000 miles on it now. No problems-very reliable. The car gets about 36 mpg. Ive driven to both the East Coast, West Coast and Florida from Chicago. The car did great in the mountains and through the California desert. The Corolla looks very stylish in charcoal grey. I love it. Looks like my next car will be a Corolla too, but Im planning on getting a quarter million miles out of this car too.

  Pleasure to drive - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By J. B. Hoehn - November 20 - 11:56 pm

  I purchased my 2005 Corolla LE in January 2005 and absolutely love it. It is very comfortable and the drive is very smooth. I traded in my 2000 MR2 Spyder for this car. I normally only purchase Toyotas that are built in Japan. This car was built in Canada and feels very solid.

  I saw it I bought it, I liked it - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By rrodri2613 - October 29 - 10:00 am

  I finally donated my 10 year old Camry to charity and decided to buy a more economical car. I was not disappointed, it cost alot less than my last car and rides and looks just AS GOOD. The car is a little plain, so you might have to add a snazzy license frame or a spoiler or sports bra, but I really love it. The only problem is getting my wife to let me drive it.

  Love it - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By simmadown - October 29 - 10:00 am

  I just bought my car 3 days ago, but I love it. I had my heart set on a Mazda 6 for a while but it was a little too expensive for my budget so my next choice was the Carolla. Just today, I was parked next to a Mazda 6 the same color as mine, and I actually like the body of mine better. Also, with gas prices so high, this car is excellent on gas. Its a fun car and I know Toyotas last forever. Id recommend it to anyone.

  Glad I decided on the Corolla - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Jim - October 17 - 5:53 pm

  Been looking for a subcompact for a month and finally decided on the Corolla. Drove it home today and felt better with each mile. A truly solid, well constructed car. Better mileage than Mazda 3 and Focus. A lot more car than the Civic with a better warranty.

  What I like - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By dave burton - September 11 - 2:43 pm

  This car has one of the best engines on the market. Performance is amazing even when driven under harsh conditions. The exterior is crisp, sharp and up with the times. I love the size on the inside. The Corolla S Type is roomy and offers great head room. Of all the small cars I have owned in the past, the Toyota Corolla S is the top of the crop.

  Great fun but also good for small family - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Berta - August 24 - 11:33 pm

  This car is sport and very fun to drive. It is also safe and great for a small family. The Corolla is very reliable and pretty roomy. The paint on the vehicle is not the 5 coats that we were told came on the vehicle, we have a few chips on the front of the car, paint seems to be thin. Also, does not get as good gas mileage as we were told it would get. Overall this is a great car for a teenager or anyone with a small family!! What can I say it is a Toyota, that is all this family will ever drive.

  The best car Ive ever owned! - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Lisa N. - August 23 - 9:40 am

  I love this car. I have had it for about a year now, and it has not let me down once. The gas mileage is amazing. I can drive for a whole week, and it will still be above half a tank. The overall ride is so comfortable. You definitely wont feel the road at all in this car. It handles well around turns and even lets you know when to turn on your headlights. I love it, its a 10!
