My Energizer Bunny - Toyota Corolla - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By Janie - June 7 - 8:17 pmDrive it first. The noise level is pretty high. That said, things that matter more to me are this cars strong suits. The gas mileage is phenomenal. It is STILL getting 32 or so mpg, and we drive back roads more than highways. Its got a lot of miles, but just goes and goes and goes. We do maintain the oil changes religiously. We were told not to bother tuning it up as long as the mileage is so good, so well do one when/if that starts to fall. We did replace the belt (theres only one for everything). It didnt cost that much. Weve kept good tires on it. If you care for it, itll care for you.

What a nice car - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By itchyscratchy - May 5 - 7:13 pmI bought the CE manual because I wanted an econo car that was reliable. Man, did I get one. Its beautiful, its blue, its a heck of a lot of fun to drive. Let me mention the price- $13.8K out the door - and this was AFTER I bought insurance at the dealer for the 1st month. This car is awesome. Its pretty - has a great sound system, though only a 1 disc CD, its not slow at all, and it gets amazing gas mileage. Ive only owned GM cars previously. Never again. Im keeping this car for a long time. Only gripes: no side airbags, rolldown windows- my fault because I wanted cheap. Could have gotten them. If you want a great car for a great price, you wont be sorry with this one

So far I love it - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By NikkiB - April 10 - 1:26 pmI got my car in Feb. 2006, so far I have had no troubles with it. The price was good and it had all the basic features that I wanted (I have the LE). The driver seat was a little hard to get used to at first and the back seat head rests are a little high for me to see over sometimes. I like how the radio/CD player are up high on the dash, I dont have to look down while driving to change stations. I love how the lights are automatic. One feature I like, but dont like, when you unlock the car and dont open the doors it will lock up automatically after a few min. Like, in case I cant remember if I locked it, dislike, keys could still be inside.

The Best! - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By Fisher - March 17 - 11:16 amI was looking into buying a Camry but found the Corolla loaded for much less! I knew I was going to buy a Toyota and would be happy with it, because I have always had Toyotas and have gotten about 300,000 miles out of each of them! So this Corolla will last me a while I am sure of it! With my automatic I get about 33mpg in mixed driving which is pretty good! I am a big person and I fit well in this car, better than I did in my old 4Runner! They designed this car with a high roofline and command seating, visiblity is very good! I wouldnt trade my Corolla for the world!

2006 Toyota Corolla S - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By Brian Young - March 17 - 12:20 amMy wife and I took a leap and traded a 2004 Malibu LT for this Corolla S. What a smart move. Our mileage has been over 40 mpg since we bought it 2 months ago. We now have 4300 miles on the car and are very happy overall. This 5-speed Corolla is too much fun!

2006 Toyota Corolla - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By Valerie - March 2 - 2:06 amI just bought the 2006 Corolla, and so far I love it. Its small, spunky, has pep, a great interior, is perfectly sized for me as a small person, and has Toyotas great reliability/durability history. Im on a budget, so I didnt get keyless entry. Wish I did. I havent ridden over 35 miles on the fwy yet, so cant say.

Fun to drive - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By chinodeb - February 25 - 6:00 amThis is our 4th purchase of a brand new Toyota. First time to purchase the Corolla. It has more power than the 6 cyl. Camry we had. We purchased the car site unseen. The Corolla is fun to drive but I would not recommend it for long distance driving unless you want to stop every few hours and walk around. Toyota has come a long way over the last 18 years. They just keep improving and they get better and better.

A Car For These Times - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By simpson - February 24 - 10:03 amThe fact that (on purpose) over twice I have almost run out of gas to check mileage should help me brag on the 40 mpg of this little one. What a plus! I do not feel comfortable driving in windy times, as the car feels very shaky on the road when the wind or an 18 wheeler whizzes by. I dont feel safe in it in the way of being protected in case of an accident -- but, I do feel it is extremely dependable, economic, and the body style makes it undesirable, so far, for those who would want to take other cars :) - it is difficult to see to the right when making a turn - due to the seat/door panel, a safety concern.

My First Toyota - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By David - January 27 - 11:40 pmI owned a GM and finally I had enough. Problem after problem the quality and Dealers after service was lacking. This is my first Toyota. I have had the car for three weeks and have driven over 750 miles. Quality is great. I only found one minor problem. The ride is great and the fit and finish are second to none. It is quite fun to drive.

THE CAR TO BUY!!! - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By BIG BARGAIN BOB - December 14 - 5:00 amStarting in 1975 when we bought our first Corolla and up to now we have owned 4 of them. This is the best ever plenty of power, unless your a race car driver at Daytona. We have had the car 1 week along with our 2000 Toyota Echo, so I cant speak about mileage yet! But I can say the car is great in every respect, Good body fit, quiet ride, interior design could not be better. Of course the bottom line is Corolla quality, its gas miser appetite, and consistent high resale value!!
