    Great car! Good acceleration and acceptable stereo. Only undesirable interior design factor I have found is driver side right arm rest.Theres not much too it and its kind of awkward to have you arm rest on it. Out of 10, overall, I give the Toyota Corolla CE a 9.5!

    Bought my car before gas prices got ridiculous. Love the gas mileage! Had an ex-girlfriend who never took care of her 99 Corolla and it ran great. I figured mine would last forever if I take care of it. The engine is peppy, but could use a little more power... especially with the AC on. Its a GREAT car for the price. Luxury car ameneties on a compact. Im happy with the accessories (radio, cruise, remote entry, etc.) I am very satisfied with my purchase and glad I chose this car for my first new car. I highly recommend this car.

  • Small Problems with Corolla XRS - 2005 Toyota Corolla
    By -

    Nice car, but a couple of aggravating problems. Driver seat is manual adjust. For some reason, it is not a perfect fit to the floor; when turning corners, It shifts slightly against the rack it is sitting on and makes a clunking noise. You can feel the seat move as well. Driver side window seems to be a continuing problem. I had a Corolla 99 CE and the window after a while does not stay snug in its frame. Eventually you get wind noise and a window that will not close directly. Overall the car is very good except for the problems I mentioned.

  • Stylish, sporty, & safe - 2005 Toyota Corolla

    Ive only had my new 05 Corolla (S model, AT with extra value pkg) for a little over 24 hours now, but Im in love. Its an awesome compact car. Toyota has great reliability history. Its so easy and fun to drive. Gas mileage is great. Ive heard people complain of engine noise, but my car is nice & quiet. The interior is simple, but nice...and user-friendly. As for my cars sporty red exterior, I love it. The Corollas the way to go if youre looking for an all-around great compact sedan. The LE models were very nice, too, but the sporty S fits my taste better as a 22-year-old.

    CorollaS is a good car, the interior is pieced together to cheap as to what you pay for the car. It is a good handling car, nice look improved 100% over the years.

    I like the ride, and it is comfortable for all. I have the CE and it have everything I need. It is deffently up graded from the CE we have from 1997.

    The car is what you pay for. It is very economical, but not what I expected from a Toyota. If you want a cheap car that you want as a beater this car will do. Dont look for quality when buying this car. This was my first Toyota and I probably won’t go back. However, I would recommend it to others. Toyota wasnt for me.

    Ive had this car for a year now, and its been GREAT. It gets great gas mileage on the highway. 38mpg on my last road trip. It feels very sturdy and solid, even at highway speeds (70- 80mph) The car rides smooth, even when im tearing down the highway faster then I should! ;-)
