  Now I Want to Drive Just to Drive This - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Kace - March 8 - 5:20 pm

  I have had my Corolla XRS for just over a month and about 1,700 miles. I am very happy with it. If I had known it requires 91 octane before buying, I probably would not have bought it. The shifting took a little getting used to. And the fact that you have to run the engine over 6000 RPM for the real performance to show seems is probably wasted on me, because I rarely race the engine to those extremes. Mine is black and I had the windows tinted with a nice black onyx tint. I think it looks great, very sporty, especially for a Corolla. I have already had to hit the brakes due to a oblivious driver and was happy with my ability to stop. Good braking was a high priority for me.

  I love My Car - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Jules5 - February 19 - 10:00 am

  Ten years ago I purchased a 1990 Toyota Camry. I loved that car and had a hard time deciding to buy a new one. Then I saw the 2005 Corolla S with the VP#1 options I fell in love with the car. It had everything that I wanted and the price was to good to pass up. Out the door 15,880! The ride is wonderfully smooth, the pick up to merge on the freeway is right there for you, and the front look of the car reminds me of a Jaguar...ok maybe that is streching it ...but I love the looK ;o I dont understand these comments that it lacks personality... with the S version of the Corolla you get the reliability of Toyota, but a look that makes heads turn. I pur

  Love my car - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By LINDA - January 22 - 8:53 pm

  This is my third Toyota, 2 Camrys before and I have loved them all. My new Toyota Corolla is a dream to drive. I spend approx 2 hrs a day in traffic and with the great sound system and comfort it makes the trip so much easier. When my husband is ready to buy a new car again he is convinced it will be a Toyota.

  Lovin my Corolla S - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Bea Ann - December 30 - 12:53 pm

  This is my first Toyota purchase and judging from the way my Corolla drives and handles, it wont be my last. It has the get-up-and-go when I need it passing other cars and trucks. It also fits perfectly when Im just cruisin. Right now with gas prices more than $2 a gallon, you cant beat the 30/38 mpg. Im impressed with my Toyota and I have no complaints, only praise for it.

  sweet car - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By bif - December 25 - 8:26 pm

  I used to drive an eclipse gs, then got an 05 S because I was looking for something more roomy and reliable. Couldnt have asked for anything better. I think this car is fun to drive too. Had a slight issue with the charcoal canister (gas something), a fluke thing I guess. This car rides so smooth, especially on the highway. So much room and I think its really comfy. Insane how great it is on gas. Def recommend this car.

  Just a great value.... - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By brt714 - November 25 - 10:00 am

  I just bought a 2005 Corolla LE after driving a 1992 Nissan pickup for almost 200,000 miles. I ran the Nissan as long as I could and have to admit it was the best vehicle I have ever owned. The only part I replaced on it was the starter. Not bad for almost 200,000 miles. The Corolla LE is very smooth and confortable and as all Japanese cars, is very solid and well- built. I was looking at Camrys, but with gas prices in the scary range I went with something a little more fuel- efficient and something with a lower monthly payment. I was showing it to a coworker and she thought it was a Camry

  S-pectacular - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By evdawg22 - November 25 - 7:36 am

  I have the S type and with the peppy engine and all new body design I think this car is a bargain. I wish had known about the XRS before I bought the S.
