  2008 Toyota Corolla - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By Suddhatma Mukherjee - October 21 - 8:10 am

  The Toyota Corolla is not a fast car but is powerful enough for daily city drives and occasional holiday outing. It is more of a touring car rather than a racer or a rally car. The steering is superb with fine cornering abilities. Only the power for engine is a small let down. City driven mileage is 9.86 kmpl but highway driven mileage is 11.0 kmpl.

  A Great Little Car - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By Hal Jones - October 8 - 3:53 am

  This car makes more sense than any Ive driven in years. First tank of gas gave 40.5 MPG! Room for everything necessary. Cleanly styled, and enough horsepower to make the interstate driving more comfortable. I didnt buy it for racing, but I sure did for gas mileage, and boy did it deliver!

  Corolla experience - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By JAC2488 - September 7 - 8:23 am

  This belongs to my wife which she initially bought unbeknownst to me! My initial reaction was met with derision until my first behind the wheel outing. Very powerful, no hunting of gears with the automatic transmission in OD, no mashing of the gas pedal in passing or accelerating situations even with the air conditioning on while going up a grade. Fits my wife like a glove which is what counts!

  An overall great car! - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By slmeow57 - August 16 - 2:00 am

  I have owned this car for about a month now and have been enjoying it! It has great fuel economy and an extremely smooth ride. I love the LE trim...the nice wood grain on the interior and the comfortable seats. With 122 HP it isnt a sports car but it gets up and goes! The only downside to this car is I purchased it at 35xxx miles and the drivetrain belt had already gone on it. It was cracked and needed to be replaced -- fortunately under warranty. Everything else has exceeded my expectations! This was a replacement car after my 97 Saturn was totaled and I believe I made an excellent choice. Very reliable, safe and an overall great car to drive near and far!

  Best small car ever - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By Henry - May 4 - 7:23 am

  Just drove 440 miles to Rocklin, ca. from orange county ca. What fun, 34.0 to 36.4 MPG and handled great at 80 mph with new Michelin tires. I bought this 2008 used with 27600 miles and its like new. If you are thinking of a Corolla just drive one, I am 510" tall and fit perfect in it. You may pay a little more for this car but well worth the $$...

  Excellent Economy Vehicle - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By BZ - December 17 - 6:26 pm

  I currently have a 2007 Toyota RAV4 Limited and wanted an alternate vehicle in order to minimize the number of miles on the RAV, and also to commute with better MPG. I picked up the 2008 Corolla in the LE edition, with faux wood trim, multi-CD changer, rearview mirror interior lights et al. I have rented this vehicle on extended prior occasions. The 2008 automatic gets BETTER MPG than the 2010 auto, has a more logically-planned interior with more storage points, and seats with better lateral support. The interior is quiet, the ride comfortable, view excellent out all windows (as opposed to the 2010 Corolla with its high waist). For a "commuter appliance" you pretty much cant do better.

  Boring looks? Try the S - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By Zang - November 27 - 4:50 pm

  S type Corolla has a much more interesting look to it, for those who are knocking the "plain" look of the Corolla, the S package doesnt add much in price but adds a body kit and rear spoiler to jazz it up a bit. Yes, its still a Corolla, but its much better looking in the S version. For those griping about performance, its either gas mileage or performance, not both. Face the truth; you and I grabbed this car because its cheap to buy, cheap to maintain, cheap to drive. If it had a monster V8 in it and had tons of performance, we would have bought a Civic; were not happy with 10 mpg. You DO however feel much sportier and more in control of engine horsepower with a stick. Try it.

  Amazing Car - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By Kevin - October 28 - 9:16 pm

  This car is absolutely amazing. Its also a road-trip machine. First road trip was from KC to Dallas and absolutely felt refreshed after arriving. Gas mileage is A+ and I love the thickness of the seats. Its also got decent pickup. Cons: Sunroof is having sort of a rattling sound. Im also experiencing the brake pop issue another reviewer posted on. I also agree it only happens when you move from reverse to drive and vice-versa. I have yet to go to the dealer for an explanation.

  Love my little S - 2008 Toyota Corolla
  By cc - September 16 - 11:23 pm

  I got 35 mpg for this little car, I am wondering if because I am a tiny woman or the added sporty package gives me extra miles. Anyways, I am so attached to this car. I wish a little bit extra storage inside of the car like my husbands RAV. I have put 22000 miles on the car so far, never have any problem. Car still performs like new one. The state I live in has speed limit of 65 on the freeway, so I cannot say much about the power. But I do know it accelerates slower on the ramp. But it does get a little fishtailed in the strong wind gust.
