  • my dependable 4 banger - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    I decided to go with the corolla because of the fuel efficiency. I wasnt going to wait for the prius (at the time there was a waiting list). As you can tell I drive a lot and that was my main motivation. The driving experience and everything else that comes with the car is extra. I know Ive been spoiled by toyota because I get in other comparable makes and models that my friends have and the drive is not even close to how smooth and good the drive is in my corolla. I love it!

    If you want a vehicle that is reliable and fun to drive then buy this one. I love the way it handles in all weather. I can honestly say dont wait like I did, buy a Corolla its worth every penny.

  • My first Toyota - 2006 Toyota Corolla

    After endless research this vehicle was the perfect choice for me. The MPG, safety ratings, reliability history, longevity since first introduced in 1968, interior design and features, while a bit expensive, seem very well built. I like the LE simulated wood look. For a small sedan I feel safe and secure. I was disappointed by the lack of ABS and side curtain airbags as optional equipment. However, the crash test results were impressive. This car is fun to drive and has decent acceleration.

  • We love this car!!! - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    We traded in our 86 Camry for the 06 Corolla LE. Looking for a family car with great gas mileage, we initially didnt consider the Corolla because we thought the back seat would be too small for 3 kids to ride in comfortably. To our surprise, the back seat is as roomy as our old Camrys, and the Corolla has more trunk space. Weve only had the Corolla for a week, but we got 30 miles to the gallon on the first tank of gas (30%town/70%hwy) and have found this compact to have the solid feel of a much larger car. A little more leg room would be welcome, but then it would be a Camry and wouldnt get 30 miles to the gallon!

  • Makes Sense to own - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    This is my 4th Toyota... 1st one was purchased in 1969. Ive owned many other cars over the years. I have rented many cars for business as well. Toyotas are bland, but reliability, economy and fit/finish convinced us to return. Our first weekend with the car was a 600 mile trip. We averaged 43 MPG! The car was quiet, comfortable and handles well. Another benefit, it fits much better in our garage than the Silverado we traded. Toyota continues to set the benchmark for mainstream vehicles.

  • 2006 Corolla CE (CE stands for Christs Evangelist in my case) - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    Im a musician for Jesus and travel all over to preach and play. Lots of room in the back, seat goes down, can carry all my equip. Rides nice, mileage is great (beats the heck out of my Dodge Caravan) I get alot of compliments on the color..."sea foam mist." Audio is good. Im really glad I got blessed with this. I bought it at 44,000 miles and at 49,000 miles the serpentine belt started squealing from having cracks in it. They normally need to be replaced at 50,000 miles and up so thats cool. Gault Toyota replaced it reasonably and I got a shuttle ride home and back the next day. Id love to get a prius next or a toyota convertible. Peace, in Christ...Dougie Douglas

  • Buy It You Will Like It! - 2006 Toyota Corolla

    Without a doubt, this is one of the best Toyota products I have ever purchased in the past 35 years. I have owned many Toyotas as well as one Honda and this car by far is outstanding. The build quality and features for the money are worth every the price. The double air tight insulation is also great as road noise is not heard. This 2006 Toyota S is just as quiet as my 1999 Toyota Camry which is a very quiet car.

  • Good car but has quality issues - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    I have purchased this car in 06/2006 and had driven less than 9K miles per year. The car suddenly stopped on the highway with 18 K miles on it, the issue has been traced to a faulty ECU (Computer) and did some research on the internet and it seems to be a common problem for this model. I have called Toyota customer service and they have taken care of the towing costs to my home town and replaced the part as it was still under warranty.

  • Outstanding. - 2006 Toyota Corolla

    We purchased the S model in dark gray with a moonroof and spoiler and it is simply gorgeous. On top of it being a beautiful car, it is an amazing ride.

  • 3rd one is the last one - 2006 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    Loved my 87 Corolla...had it 11 years (bought it used). 30 mpg when I retired it. 2000: great: 38 mpg when I traded it for this piece of crap: tranny replaced at 96K, just told I need a new radiator. Brake pedal winks when the AC is on (dealer told me it was normal). I only get 32 mpg at best (stick shift!, not my driving. I got 41 mpg on a rented Cobalt). Radio jumps stations (already replaced when the CD player got jammed). Car is too big: too many blind spots compared to older models. Back head rests block rear view (as did the 2000), removed and stored for trade-in. Even the paint on the body below the door isnt smooth. Seats dont go down fully (overstuffed).
