  Good little car - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Lanehalli - February 12 - 8:26 pm

  The Corolla has been mechanically sound throughout my ownership. Other than gas and oil, there have been no outside expenses. I got the 5 sp, which I think is a must for a small car, and have not been disappointed. The car handles well, brakes well, and gets up to hwy speeds with no problem. Living in NYC, I do not approach the sticker mpg claims. Generally around 25-27 around town and 33 on hwy. My only complaint is the ease in which this car is dented. Both front quarter panels have been dented, and simply from someone leaning on them. But overall, this has been a quality car that I will be trading in (need more space for growing family). Good job Toyota.

  Best pick for overall efficiency - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By sadaya_rose - February 5 - 5:43 pm

  I bought this car with 108,000 miles on it, but as we all know that is just getting one of these babies broken in. I have had zero probs with mine, just an oil change. Car runs great, great design, excellent gas mileage, I will not own anything other than a Toyota!

  love this car - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By dianelhair - January 20 - 10:00 am

  Being a very picky person, I researched cars for over a year because I was driving a 13 year old car and new its time was near. I read in both Consumer Reports and some other magazine, (cant remember which one), that this car was extremely reliable, had great trunk space,more than a couple of others that I was considering, and plus, the style is great. The fuel economy is not quite as good a a hybrid but then it was several thousands of dollars less than one. It is smaller than my old car and therefore easier to park, maneuver, and quicker to wash! It is everything I want, looks, fuel economy, ease of driving,great visibility and beatable reliability.

  Wonderful Commuter - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By DriverMike - January 12 - 7:36 pm

  I have had the car for two months so far and have over 5K miles on it and no problems. Low tire pressure gauge has come on, that may be a nuisance. The car rides great and feels like a baby Lexus. I drive 200 miles per day. The A/C is awsemome and the 6CD player is great!. I am extremely pleased so far.

  By Vanessa - January 10 - 7:13 pm

  Very pleased with the Toyota Corolla. Comfotable ride, great on gas. The only thing that I would change on the 2005 Corolla is more comfotable seats for long distance driving and remote trunk opening.

  Brantley Family - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By L. Brantley - November 18 - 3:53 am

  I have really loved this car! I went from a Lumina to the Corolla last year. I enjoy driving this car plus the great gas mileage you get with gas prices so high. My husband liked mine so much he went out and bought a second one! We now have his and her and Corollas! I have the CE and he has the LE.

  Great Gas Mileage 41+mpg/hwy - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By ebazile - September 23 - 8:56 pm

  The Toyota Corolla meets my needs. Initially I purchased it as an interim car until I could afford my luxury car, but now Im in love with it and Im keeping it forever. The style is cute and the gas mileage is unbelieveable... 41mpg - no kidding. Ive put it to the test. The ride is good and it will seat 4 adults and one child comfortably; however, it could be a challenge if youre over 64".

  My new car - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Lisa - September 16 - 7:53 am

  I love my car.It has a great body and I love the features like spoiler,alloy wheels, leather steering wheel, beautiful color (indigo ink)and I like the fuel economy. It could be better or worse but I am not complaining.I do think they should improve on the interior space.I also think they could improve on the pick-up speed of the car.It moves kinda slow but it is ok once you get going.All in all I love this car and would reccommend it to anyone.
