  • love it - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    I really love this car! I was afraid that it would be to small for my family so I decided to take my whole family of 5 to the dealership so we could all test drive it. We all fit comfortably. The trunk space was much bigger than i thought it was going to be. I researched many cars before making my choice and I am very happy with my choice.

    I commute 2 hours per day. The car does well in snow, especially considering how light weight it is. The only reason I am considering trading it is that with 50,000 miles, I can still get payoff for a trade in. You cant say that about many cars these days.

  • My review - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    Great reliable fun car to drive; excellent fuel economy. Nice look on the road, but nothing special, though the S and XLS models are more sporty than my CE. But, then I dont really go for all that sporty buff that just adds weight. I prefer a nice sporty design without the buff, like the Lexus sports car. Not the most comfortable car to drive; there just seems like there is no way to adjust the seat and tilt steering for a comfortable driving position; reaching the outdated-looking sound system controls are a stretch when reclining back in the drivers seat. The steering wheel doesnt have many tilt positions. Also, the dash and center console lighting are oddly different colors.

  • Great family sedan - 2006 Toyota Corolla

    We just had a baby and got this car because of its reliability and fuel efficiency, but we love its looks and comfort. The trunk is huge, and fits quite well all baby stuff, including our large stroller. Weve had long road trips with four people in our car, and it was surprisingly comfortable. Overall, were quite pleased with it.

  • Cant beat the gas mileage for the price. - 2006 Toyota Corolla

    Just bought a new 06 Corolla CE, auto, pwr locks/windows & mirrors, I have 750 miles on it, gas mileage is great, 37mpg on second tank. May pick up some after break-in? More than doubled my Silverado mpg.

  • V8 vs. 4 CYL - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    I recently traded in a 2004 Trailblazer with a V8. It was fun to drive and this small car will take getting use to. But the gas mileage is outstanding, especially when comparing to a big SUV. Although I dont have all the luxury features of an expensive vehicle, this car is real nice for me. The standard features and value make this a great car to save gas and have fun driving. It also handles way better than any SUV. It works for me. Ill just buy a cheap used pick-up truck for all my heavier needs but drive the new car to work. I compared all economy cars in this class, and nothing comes close to gas mileage, price, reliability, standard features, and looks.

  • I got a brand new LEMON! - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    After reading so many other reviews, Im convinced I got a Corolla reject! Door hinges started to come apart after a few months. I paid $700 extra for that paint protection, undercoating crap (I know, I know, my own fault). The paint scratches off when my nails hit it lightly on the trunk. I have lots of paint chips where rust is coming through! Not in places where stones could even hit it! Now, my alloy wheels are rusting from the inside and look all bubbly. There is an annoying *ping* when pulling out of a parking space that makes everyone in the parking lot turn and look. Im so disappointed in the quality of this car. Im dumping it now that Im out of warranty!

  • A fun little car - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    We love just about everything about the 06. Its sporty looking, comfortable, and quiet. It has more pickup than I expected. I agree with others that a telescoping steering wheel should be available and ABS should be standard. We bought ABS & the side airbags. The rear seat has enough legroom (not roomy but not cramped). The upgraded sound package (VV) wasnt very impressive. We easily added fog lights to the LE (which is already wired for them) and wish it was an option.
