  Reliability combined with great economy - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Buhler - December 4 - 9:00 am

  I bought this car 4 years ago, now at 144000 miles - I have a long commute. The car is by far the best car I have owned, hands down. I have the 5-speed manual transmission, and get great handling and performance. I get anywhere between 40 and 42 mpg since I am mostly driving freeway. On my third set of tires, other than that, no defects or repairs needed - still on factory brakes and clutch. Change oil and rotate tires religiously. I did not buy any options with the car and find the LE basic model quite complete and comfortable.

  Good Value! - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Opal - November 30 - 10:00 am

  This car has a comfortable ride and the steering is very smooth. I have taken friends on a couple day trips, and they agree the ride is comfortable. The interior is roomy, and the trunk space is good for a car this size. I am getting about 36mpg highway and 26mpg in town. The color Impulse Red makes this car appear larger and more upscale. Overall, this car is a great value for the money!

  A Wonderful Car at a GREAT Price! - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Razzle Dazzle - November 30 - 10:00 am

  Since I bought my car I have been very please and have driven in a few different types of weather, most recently today in some of the harshest rain I have driven in. The car performed well, but the tires seemed to have a bit of trouble gripping the road, and I found myself hydroplaning a few times. Other than that, the manual shifter seems to be quite sensitive and stalls more easily than expected, but that may be just because Im still getting used to this particular car. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this car to anyone!

  A winner in my book! - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By KLewis - November 30 - 10:00 am

  Love the smart roomy interior. Great pickup and manueverability. Only problem was the dash light blinking on and off and CD player jumps tracks. Will take in to repair under warranty. But engine and drive great!

  best in class - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By derek - November 6 - 11:50 pm

  though one could complain about things such as lack of power, wind/road noise etc. you have to keep things in perspective. this is an economy car, and as such i feel it offers more than any other car in this class. it has a smooth, quiet ride for this class, i am getting 38 mpg in a mix of city/highway driving(about a 40/60 mix), and the manual transmission shifts smoothly.

  Amazingly Reliable But Bland - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Toyota 289 - October 27 - 9:10 pm

  This is my first Japanese car. I became disgusted with the past 3 gm cars I have owned. This car changed my view on Asian cars, I used to think they were junk. This car proved me wrong. Purchased used in 2007 with 15,000 miles it now has 63,000 miles with ZERO issues. The only things it needed were tires, brakes, and oil changes. Not by any means an exciting car, if your looking for reliability and economy this is your car, if you are looking for excitement you will be bored of this car after a short while. Overall its a great commuter car for the person who just wants to get from point A to B.Its has fairly peppy acceleration for its class of vehicle. This car is a great value for the money.

  Cheap, Efficient, SOLID - 2005 Toyota Corolla
  By Paul - October 27 - 5:20 pm

  Just an overall great compact sedan. Of course driving it you would think it was compact. Quiet ride, good stability, and fun. With prices they way they are you are able to have a regular car that isnt a hybrid and still gives you great gas mileage to the gallon.
