  Highly Recommend - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Kevin - February 18 - 8:03 am

  I bought this car at the end of August of 2005 and wasnt too sure what the XRS model was. After 4 years of owning it, I think its a pretty good daily driver. Its fun to drive and has enough power to keep up with flow of traffic. The 6 speed manual is what makes it different from the other models and the 2zz-ge motor revs up to 8200 rpm which makes a really fun to drive when the lift kicks in.

  Toyota Corolla S 5M - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Ryan B - February 10 - 11:40 pm

  This is a great car for the price. Quality and styling beats out anything in its class including the Honda Civic EX. I purchased this car as a commuter special, for the gas mileage. After 10,000 miles, I am averaging 39 mpg! This is the best car I have ever owned and recommend this car to anyone. The best part is that no one can believe that it is a corolla; Toyota hit the nail on the head with this one.

  This is by far the best care I have ever owned for the price. It is both efficient for my long commute, and fun to drive.

  Really fun car - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By C2 - January 18 - 9:23 pm

  I bought the XRS 2 1/2 years ago. Its a great, fun car for a real value. I wasnt excited about buying a Corolla until I found out about the XRS - then I had to have it. As soon as I test drove it, within minutes, I knew I had to have this car. Really fun to own and drive.

  05 Corolla S Impulse Red - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By crw - December 30 - 9:36 pm

  I love my Corolla! I can only think of two things I would make different. The O/D on/off and the ground effects are a bit cumbersome if you are not used to having them.

  Great Car!!! Check it out. - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Brian - December 29 - 1:50 am

  I bought the Corrola S this car has exceeded my expectations. Roomy intereior. I love the leather wrapped steering wheel. Very smooth ride and good handling. Id advise anyone to test drive this car. I think Im falling in love with it. If youre buying in the Columbus, GA area check out Jay Toyota. They were very friendly and helpful. I also feel that I got a pretty good deal on the car.

  Four door rocket - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By C4Man - December 16 - 3:00 pm

  What can I say, WOW! Id been researching this car for about two or three months before I finally purchased one. Took a couple weeks to find the one with the options and color I wanted, but Im glad I found it. Love this car. Fast and fun to drive. Six speed is velvet smooth and the 2zz engine provides seemless, smooth power delivery. Ive driven many cars this size and few come close to the combination of value and performance this car offers.

  Fun, reliable, and kid friendly too. - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Karla - September 6 - 10:40 am

  This is my second Toyota. I am a loyal Toyota fan, and I expect that this vehicle will be my kids car in 10 years when they learn to drive. I have taken this vehicle on several long distance trips and have had no problems. The trunk space is great, it fit luggage for three adults and two kids - simply amazing! The gas mileage is pretty good and the ride is smooth. The tires are something that will be replaced soon, they dont provide much traction for the variety of weather that our region has. Overall, this vehicle is economical, maintenance free (so far), and most importantly fun to drive. I wish I would have gotten the "S" version... but maybe next time.
