  VROOOOMMMMM!!!! - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Tel - August 25 - 10:40 am

  I was smiling as I passed a Bemer heading up a steep incline this morning! Overall, a great car!!! However, with the 170 hp engine, the gas mileage suffers as compared to the other Corolla models-Im averaging about 30 mpg which is primarily 90% highway (ok, averaging 80 mph-its hard to keep this baby down!) You should also be aware that the engine requires a high octane gas and comes equipped with summer tires as its considered a performance vehicle. Finding replacement winter tires/wheels for 195/55/16 size ran me another $917 (finally found them on the internet.) OUCH! Now that Ive swallowed these surprises, Im back to smiling every time I turn over the engine. VROOOOMMM!!!

  Best car Ive ever had and that includes Caddies, Fords of all kinds,Olds and Buick. The only one even close was a 1970s Plymouth Valiant.

  Great Car for A Great Price - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Josh - August 16 - 3:53 pm

  I am a college student, and I bought this car because of the great styling, reliability, and high gas mileage. I have had this car for almost a year and I have been very pleased with it. The outside styling is great- more than you would expect from a $16K car. The LE interior is very upscale with sport well-lit gauges, two-tone interior and comfortable seats. There are plenty of storage compartments for just about everything. Some tall drivers may find the steering wheel a little too far away- but not bad for an economy car. There is a decent amount of backseat space and a lot of trunk space. The engine is more than powerful enough and the transmission is smooth through all 4 gears.

  Toyota Corolla CE Automatic, 2005 - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By tigresmoon - July 12 - 10:00 am

  This car is very comfortable for its size and the gas mileage is really great..It handles well, Feels solid, and performs well...Having owned many smaller cars, I feel this is the best for the bucks...You may pay a bit more, but considering you can get over 150,000+ miles out of these cars if you take care of them, I think this is one of the greatest buys out there...A Very reliable car..The dealership where I purchased my Corolla is great also...

  They get better and better! - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By steve B - June 4 - 10:00 am

  Had to give my 2001 Corolla to my daughter so I picked up a new S. My son has the Corolla LE 2003, one daughter has a 1999 LE, and the wife has a 2000 camry. The 2005 S has the best ride. A great improvement in comfort and road feel from the 2001. I would rather have this car than a BMW. It sits higher than the older Corolla and has a very solid feel and response. The backseat is still just a tad bit small for a tall person when the drivers seat is back. That is the only very minor complaint. For the money, this is the very best! Honda does not get close to this one.

  I wish the dealer could fix this one - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By ceglinton - April 17 - 10:00 am

  Did a lot of research to find a reliable car. Our 1998 Camry was totalled and we wanted to stick with Toyota. We like the looks of the Corolla and the way it drove. We purchased on 8/3/04 and two days later the check engine light came on. Dealer said it was the gas cap. Light came on again and this time dealer said it was the o2 sensor. They replaced and light came on again the same day. Now dealer says it is the computer. Waiting for part to arrive from Japan because dealer says there is an upgrade in the computer we need. They have had the car for two weeks and they are telling me it will be another week.

  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my car!!! - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Stargirl - February 25 - 9:33 pm

  This model of Corolla is like no other. For the price you pay, you get way more car for your buck then say a Civic. It is so fun to drive. It hugs turns like a little race car. I love the 6 speed. The body of the car is really cute and does not look like a boring sedan. I highly recommend this car.
