  Nice Solid Car - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By megawill - October 31 - 5:43 am

  Seats are comfortable although driving position could be made more comfortable for different body types by having a telescoping steering wheel and a few more notches in seat rail. Most of my driving is on the highway and Ive been averaging between 34 and 35 miles per gallon so far. This is more than most competitors offer with a stick. No problems so far with the Goodyear Integrity tires or crosswinds that others have complained about, although winter is coming. The car feels solid on the and is actually more comfortable to drive than the 2002 Sable that I traded in for it. Very happy so far, I plan on owning this one for quite awhile.

  Shes a Fast One - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By tsperl28 - October 21 - 10:00 am

  This is the first vehicle for my to actually fully take all the financial responsbility in. I believe I made a great decision. The XRS sells itself. It may have costed me over $25000 after tax, title and lease trade-in, but this car will be a joy for years to come!

  This Corolla LE is Awesome - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By San - September 3 - 10:00 am

  I just bought this car 2 weeks ago and went to New York on the weekend and really enjoyed the trip.This car has a comfortable ride and the steering is very smooth. LE wood grain interior adds a little more class to the corolla. You cant beat the gas milege.The value of this car is outstanding, cant get a better car at this price.

  Exceptional Ride, Quality engineering - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Cali Driver - July 22 - 10:00 am

  Great ride, took a trip to Vegas on half a tank of gas! Was deciding on Camry or Corolla, Corolla won because of the gas milage. Longo Toyota and AAA was just fantastic, quality follow through after the sale. Love seat riser, simplistic/functional dash that Toyota is famous for. The occasional convoys on open highways new Corolla drivers get into is amusing and a subtle tribute to the engineers, (up to 5 following). Because space here is limited, My advice to everyone, read the manual to find out more cool features. Btw, I work down the street from Toyotas CA offices and lot of Toyotas on their lots dont think youd get that from GM.

  Outstanding - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Billie G. - July 22 - 10:00 am

  The car is comfortable and maintains my expectations as to the gas mileage. I bought the Sport SS and it has nice pep when you need it. Although I swore I would never buy a 4 cylinder again, this car has made me eat my words due to its reliable performance and fun driving experience. Shortly after I bought the car I was rear-ended in Chicago traffic. The hit was at 40 mph and to look at the car you would not know it had been hit other than the sport trim having been sheered off at the bottom of the trunk lid. The trunk lid was not affected in the hit and the car withstood the hit without causing sway or loss of control. I was amazed!

  2005 Toyotal Corolla CE - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Steve Rice - July 18 - 10:26 pm

  This is the 3rd Toyota Corolla that i have owned and probably wont be the last. This is a durable and dependable vehicle. Excellent gas mileage and looks great for the price!! Aluminum wheel package makes for a sportier look.

  Had a Civic - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By RAY - June 27 - 4:06 pm

  I traded my 02 Honda Civic EX in for the 05 Corolla LE. Hands down, better car all around. Its more peppie, more zip, better interior and after almost 8 months, no problems. My Civic within the 1 st 3 yrs, compressor, struts, fan had to be replaced. This is much better car. The JBL sound system is much better versus the upgraded Honda one.

  Affordable and fun - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Denise - June 26 - 7:10 pm

  The Corolla LE Sedan is affordable and fun to drive. I love just about everything it offers, with the exception of a couple minor issues. I have not had a smaller car in many years, and im very happy with this one. It gives a smooth ride and i feel safe in it. It comes with alot of perks, and for a car under $20,000. The newer design is also a plus. Id definately recommend it.

  Great Car! - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Jana - June 19 - 9:13 am

  This little Impulse Red sporty sedan is awesome! It was pricey for sure, and they were tough on lowering the price even a little, regardless of the ding on the rear bumper. But it worth the comfort, safety is top noche, and the warranty is unbeleivable! The stereo has good sound and the stear ratio is nice on U-turns. I feel like I am in a $40,000 sports car when really it is a sporty sedan 4-door. Also, for 130 Horsepower it has incredible take off and acceleration, perfect brakes - I bought this used with too many miles but I fell in love. I never even thought I would own a Toyota, so give it a chance and check it out.
