  • Good Value - 2006 Toyota Corolla

    Terrific for scooting around town. This is my first Toyota & Im very impressed. Exterior is sharp. Interior is clean and functional. No wind noise from sunroof. Civic is state of the art in compacts. Maint. schedule basically change oil & rotate tires every 5k miles, simple and low cost.

    So far, I love this car. I got tired of getting an avg 17 miles per gal in a 2003 4runner, so I traded it on this S corolla. In MD you pay 42 cents per gal in taxes. I just cut down the number of gal I consume by 50%. The car rides great, build is amazing. Interior and exterior design of the car is nice. There is a decent size trunk and I am 64" and there seems to be more headroom than the 4runner. I could not be happier.

    Found the Drivers seat is a bit loose on its track. It shifts back on acceleration. There is a rattling noise in the trunk when Corolla rolls over a deep pothole. Is it a loose spare tire equipment? The outside air vent blow warm air into cabin when the temperature thermostat is set to its coldest position and the outside air is so much cooler. Default CD Stereo system does not play MP3 audio files. Flimsy release latches for trunk and fuel filling lid on drivers side floor.

    I really enjoy the nice comfortable ride, and low engine noise. The radio isnt all that bad either for this model. The only thing I would change is the annoying seat belt warning, and add the power package to all the cars no matter what model. Ill definitely be taking it in to get power door locks put in this week. Other than that, its a great little car so far, with no other complaints.

  • 2006 Corolla CE, Cactus, 5-speed - 2006 Toyota Corolla

    This is an excellent little car. Its solid, built very well, looks good, gets great gas mileage and has a lot of space for a compact car. I would highly recommend this car to anyone who is not over 6 or 225 pounds. It is a compact car, and I believe large people would find it too small. Finding the right driving position will take some time, but once you find it you will feel comfortable. I changed my stock 185 Goodyear Integrity tires to 195 Yokahama Avid TRZ. This made a big difference in the ride and comfort.

  • Have loved every mile! - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    I bought it new in 2006. I have put 120K mostly highway miles on it in the last 6 years. The original Bridgestone tires were good until 75K w/regular rotations. The brakes were replaced at 118K, not b/c they were squeaking, but b/c the fronts needed it soon, hubby did all 4 at one time. Check engine light came on at 78K, ECM in transmission went bad and was covered in a recall. Check engine light came on at 119K, ECM software glitch, no fix yet, but the light is out, car is driving fine, and the fix will be free when it is ready for download at my dealership. I have been very satisfied with this car. Least favorite aspect of Toyota build is the paint...it chips easily.

  • Awesome - 2006 Toyota Corolla

    I traded in my Chevy Avalanche for this and am very satisfied. The vehicles braking and acceleration is quick, the inside is young looking. It is sporty and surprisingly roomy. Although it doesnt look roomy from the outside. You have to get inside of this vehicle and test drive it. Do not judge it from the outside like I did. I love it and its reputation and resale value cannot be beat.

    Having been an owner of a 97 Camry, I love this car. Its not much smaller inside, but rides better. Very comfortable.

    The air broke the first week and I went ballistic but they fixed it, it was too much freon for goodness sake it was overcharging. Ive had a 00 corolla so I dont anticipate any more problems. These cars sell themselves in LA for reliability. Look for breakdowns on the freeway, youll see big models all makes, but seldom if ever will you see a Corolla and thats why I stick with it.
