Small issues - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By king - March 16 - 2:36 pmPrior to purchasing a 2006 Corolla, I had a 1991 model for 15 years. I loved it so I wanted another. I have only had the 2006 for a few months, but I wanted to give a review after my first trip to the service department at 6,000+ miles. The trim on the roof was coming loose at one end. The initial prognosis by the service department technician was to replace as this occurs occasionally. They instead glue it down (something I could have done). The second issue, which is more unacceptable, is a spot protruding under the carpet on the hump in the back seat area. I noticed the carpet wearing (at 6,000+ miles) and they said the protrusion is part of the carpeting and all corollas have it.

"S" - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By Robert - March 14 - 12:50 amAs of yet... this car has been all it should be... a Toyota. Its build is solid; mileage is great, and fun to drive as a daily commuter. The interior styling is a bit plain/simple, but at the same time a welcome sight to the complexity of some of todays rides. For what it is, a daily commuter/first car/mileage queen, the Corolla fits the bill.

Feels like Heaven! - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By Deb - February 24 - 3:03 pmI purchased the Corolla with the sport package and could not be happier. Since purchasing the vehicle I have received numerous compliments and even asked out on a few dates...lol. This car handles the mountain wonderfully and is a joy to drive!

Outstanding value and fuel economy - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By Ed - February 20 - 5:43 amThe Toyota Corolla was a fine purchase. The engine is rather peppy when you need it and the LE trim offers some nice features and gadgets. A roomy trunk and back seat was a nice suprise and my car seats four adults comfortably.

Oligohome - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By Oligohome - February 9 - 8:33 amthis is my 3rd 5-speed Corolla. I wanted a car that was as close to my previous 2000 Corolla as possible. I find the suspension is very ridgid. I feel every bump on the road. Drives well in the snow. I appreciate the added ground clearance. Turns great. Average fuel at 32 (local)-35 (HWY) MPG, not the number advertised (although my previous Corolla was right on the money to the predicted numbers, so it aint my driving).

Great but.............. - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By OhwhatUdotome - January 26 - 12:46 amSo far after 1700 miles I only HATE 2 things. 1. The pedals for gas/brake/shifting were designed only for people with size 5 or smaller shoes. My Size 13s are constanly getting tangled in the tiny pedals. 2. Shifting into 2nd gear seems to be a challenge for this clutch as it tends to grind loudly unless the pedal is press extra hard to the floor when shifting. I would buy and automatic possibly but never a manual with this pedal dimensions and clutch.

Zippin Thru! - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By jujibee - January 15 - 3:23 amThis is one of the best cars Ive ever had. (And Ive had many.) It is very fun to drive when zipping thru traffic! Very sporty. Ive added some things to the car and it looks very nice with added features. The gas is great, about 30-38 mpg! You could easily have the gas light on and still make it a good 10-20 miles! The sound is great, and the air is pretty good. Very reliable, havent had any problems with the mechanics yet! Automatic locks and windows are great. Love how it locks soon as you put it in drive and unlocks when in park. Pretty roomy to say the car is about 10 ft! Love Love Love this car!

My Corolla S - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By My Toyota Corolla - January 6 - 1:50 amIve had my 06 corolla s for about one year now and Im very pleased with it. Before I purchased my car, I was driving a 03 corolla ce. At that time it had 52,000 miles, currently 120,000. I didnt like the BASIC trim with no pwr windows, door locks, cruise, abs, etc. The 03 is in great condition, despite some maintenance thats needed. The 06 s is way better. I love the exterior design with the full body pkg. Rated at 126 hp is not much, but really doesnt feel like 126. Ive taken the liberty and placed a v6 badge on the vehicle, of course I raised a few eyebrows, but hey, why not. Fill the tank with 93oct, and you notice a big difference. Overall Im satisfied with it. Its a great car.
