  • Smooth and dependable. - 2006 Toyota Corolla

    Never had a beef w/ Toyota. This truly is a baby-lexus. Fully loaded, Its a higher price compared to competitors, but worth every penny. My only regret is not opting for manual trans.

  • Great Investment! - 2006 Toyota Corolla

    I have this car for about a week now and I love it. Very conservative with gas usage. Simply chic is what I call it!... Nothing too fussy... gets you there from A to B in a comfortable way. Very affordable.

    I really like the Toyota Corolla S. The vehicle has great pick up and drives very quietly. The features such as the clock, wipers, radio set up are very easy to figure out - therefore user friendly.

  • Great, Reliable quality car - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    Ive had this car for about 24 hours, and have loved every minute driving it. The ride is smooth, the acceleration very good, and overall quality is second to none. Great gas mileage goes without saying. This is a perfect car for anyone wanting to save money on gas and overall maintanence costs.

  • Great First Car - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    As a 16 year old, this is my first car and I love it. I test drove the Civic but it doesnt even compare to the Corolla. The Corollas handling is much more secure and the dashboard is much more ergonomic. The ride is smooth, and the handling is tight. The fuel economy is great - I drove 363 miles and only filled up 9.9 gallons - about 36 mpg! The Corolla is a safe, fun, and well designed car and I would recommend it to anyone.

  • Mixed bag - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    Got the used car in 2008. High resale value bites both ways, doesnt lose much value when selling, but aint getting as much as competitor cars when buying. Decent build quality, but some haphazard metalwork and greasing present, probably clogged doors drain hole. Car is relative quiet and comfortable, but steering feels artificial, especially when hard turning corners; feels like wheel orientation and steering dont match up. Rattling present at 30K, unacceptable for Toyota. Lot of blind sides when backing up; lot of newer cars seem to have similar problems (trunk too high, pillar too thick, window too small). Bumpers cant take a hit. Reliable but disappointing purchase.

  • Excellent CAR - 2006 Toyota Corolla

    This car is great. It is great on the outside and ok on the inside... I wanted one with moonroof, but they are not available as easily as last year because of the gas prices. The mileage is great, and although it is not a sporty car you can count on its reliability.

  • Great commuter car ! - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    Ive owned VWs in the past (Jetta and Fox), but due to our familys positive experience with our Sienna CE van, were now an all Toyota family. I love the mileage and the handling. Quality is great. Plenty of room for 4. Tight for 5, but hey, its a compact. Sound system is good. Auto lights are great. No steering wheel adjustment. Otherwise, I love it. Especially at the gas pump, although I havent gotten the advertised 38 highway (more like 35).

  • My Second Corolla also did not dissapoint - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    I love this car! Its fun to drive and its reliable. I had bought an 02 as my first vehicle brand new, and it did not disappoint on gas mileage and reliability, although I had chosen the CE version cause being so young thats all I could qualify for. The 06 is responsive, corners well, and the transmission is smooth enough for its class. The black paint job is beautiful and waxes well. I love the spoiler, and the trunk space is roomy enough for a lot of stuff if you pack it right.

  • Good transportation - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    The Corolla is a great car to commute. Thats it! it is not a fun car to drive, it is just ok. If youre looking for fun (performance and handling), look somewhere else. Its a great, grandma car!
