my dependable 4 banger - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By joe schmoe - January 28 - 5:20 amI 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!

My first Toyota - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By Laura - January 18 - 9:10 amAfter 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 Debbie D. - January 10 - 1:30 pmWe 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 HpRet - December 28 - 1:26 pmThis 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 dougiedouglas - December 11 - 2:40 amIm 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
By Pauldo - December 6 - 8:33 amWithout 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.

Outstanding. - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By Chris - December 4 - 4:26 pmWe 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.

40 MPG and Fun to Drive! - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By Sparky1954 - November 14 - 4:23 amWeve had this car close to 30 months now and it has been great. The smaller engine is offset by the 5-spd manual and decent handling for the price. Not a single problem yet. But to top it off the mileage is great! We just completed a round trip between San Jose, CA to Vancouver, WA and put over 1500 miles on the car. I tracked the mileage very close and we got 40.2 mpg for the whole trip! Now I need to say we dont speed but drive the posted speed limit (55, 65, 70). We used A/C for a 85% and this total included climbing hill, mountains and around town drives. So obey the posted limits, set the cruise control and enjoy the money you save!

I hate new cars-but love my new Toyota - 2006 Toyota Corolla
By Kathryn - November 10 - 2:53 amI waited a long time to buy a new car, but finally decided to take the plunge. Picked the Toyota Corolla for reliability, gas mileage and looks. A little on the pricey side for a base model, but with gas prices the way they are, you cant beat the gas mileage I am getting from this car! The outside is nice and neat. The car handles nicely and for a 4-cylinder 1.8 - it can move! Interior is laid out nicely - driver seating takes some getting used to though, hard to adjust. The trunk cargo space is very good for a small car. Love the flip down passenger seats for extra cargo space. All in all, I have come to really love my new ride!
