  A 10 - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By Driving 40 + years - January 14 - 6:30 am

  I have driven many different vehicles since the mid 1960s and cars have certainly evolved over the years. I have also done minor repairs and maintenance on cars. Have owned several sports cars and even a Honda Hybrid a few years ago. The Corolla offers the best of all worlds. Over 30 mpg city (32 to 34), with the standard transmission. A solidly built and realible vehicle, good gas mileage, fun to drive and attractive enough in design and style (the "s" model). While the Corolla may be a bit more expensive than similar competitors, "you get what you pay for". Toyotas reliability is worth the price alone.

  Reliable Fun & Economical - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By Dorb1231 - January 10 - 12:36 am

  Does everything I wanted it to do. Based in the increase in gas prices, it might pay for itself when compared to the older vehicle I had. Out of the showroom drove New York City to Florida and back. Very stable even in driving rain at 75 mph.

  Experience with my 2008 Corolla - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By cja - January 9 - 4:00 am

  This car gives a nice smooth ride for its size. Acceleration is smooth and the transmission shifts great. This car rides a bit high and the drivers seat is adjustable; all nice features. However, I find the steering wheel a bit too far away, making driving a little uncomfortable and the knee ends up too close to the console. Im somewhat disappointed with the fuel economy (rated at 26/35) when my bigger accord of 1988 produced 30/34 mpg.

  08 Corolla S auto with Jbl sound VSA - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By superjohn - October 16 - 1:23 am

  I now have 21000 miles & love the car. I avg 31mpg on my short trips lots of 3mile rides to work. When I am on the freeway I get 38 to 41 mpg depends on how much of a hurry I am in. Love the 5k oil change interval. The trak control or VSA is a must have. JBL sound upgrade is not that special. Its the best car for the money for sure.

  Great Value - 2008 Toyota Corolla

  This is a great value vehicle. It will pay it off by itself eventually (I use it daily on my business operations).

  I have no reason to complain - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By mopart600 - August 14 - 6:21 am

  I bought my 08 in November of 2007 brand new. Since then I have put 215000 miles on it. I have had it serviced at the dealership and kept up with all of the prescribed maintenance. Other than brakes, which are obviously a system designed to wear out, I have only had to replace one wheel bearing at 190000 miles. Other than that its just gas and oil. This car has been fantastic to me and since it is still in such good shape Im going to drive it until the wheels fall of...which may be a while at this rate.

  My first Toyota - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By A West - July 6 - 7:28 am

  After being in a wreck with my truck I decided to buy an car for fuel mileage. I looked at several vehicles before settling on the Corolla. Here are the reasons i choose it. First off I bought the Corolla S because of the factory body styling and you can not see the exhaust. Second the reviews on this site gave me a good feeling about the reliability of the vehicle. Third the safety of the vehicle, My wife tends to drive it every now and then with our daughter. The Toyota Corolla was the right choice. I have had it for two months now and love it.

  Best Purchase of My Life! - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By snoqueen440 - May 22 - 7:03 am

  This car has been a dream. Reliable, great price and great looking. This car I think is fun to drive. I opted towards the side curtain air bags, ABS (Winter Weather Package) and sunroof. Great gas mileage rides smooth and the engine is quiet. I like the S model because it looks sporty but are not paying the price of the sporty cars. Be careful not to bottom out going in and out of driveways and parking lots!

  2008 Corolla S - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By rjvatlanta - April 27 - 7:21 pm

  I bought this car used with 75,000 miles and now own it 15 months and 20,000 miles later. Other than changing the oil and brakes & rotors, I have had no mechanical issues. Bought it as a reliable commuter car and it is living up to the assignment.

  A chick magnet - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By jrmulch - December 23 - 8:43 am

  A great car. I call it my golf cart for the interstate. Gets great gas mileage, roomy interior and trunk. Great sound system. My 15 year old thinks it is the bomb with speedway blue metallic color and the exterior moldings. I think I may not be driving this car when she turns 16. Oh well, Ill just buy another one.
