Though this car looks horrible today, it once was a pretty nice vehicle that would bring me from point A to point B without any issue. Though I bought it as an already used car more than six years ago, it was a pretty good deal, which I don't regret making. Thinking of it, it's pretty remarkable that the car's still running, especially considering I haven't had to take it to the repair shop as often as you'd imagine. This car is not a girl magnet or doesn't evoke a sentiment of success. It'd be more fit to describe it as the struggle car. But that's mainly what I like about it. It reminds me of some of the biggest struggles of my life. Working miserable jobs, not having enough money to get a full tank and driving home praying that the little fuel I got would be enough. Though I am currently looking to buy a newer car, this Toyota will always hold a special place as it has been a big part of my life. The memory of all the receipts and fast food bags I would leave in there, having to lower the window to open the car door from the other side cause the inside lock wasn't working... remembering all those details help keeping me humble as it reminds me of past struggles.

Good gas mileage

I've rented corollas before and was impressed with their big car spaciousness and classic style. There's no better vehicle on the road for overall practicality and you don't feel like you're stuffed into a sardine can. Lots of headroom, sufficient power and road feel to toss her around like a little sports car, and a large trunk. This vehicle is extremely reliable. I owned this vehicle for 10 years. I love the car. I want to get another one, just a newer year. Car is good on gas only had to fill up once a week. Maintenance for this car is reasonable. Engine is very quiet and the body of the car is nice. Good safe, reliable, low cost car. Has style in all occasional event. The performs exceed well in braking, acceleration and handling. The overall appearance and performance, safety and cost value is truly everything that is advertised by the manufacturer. Excellent car for a college student or commuter. Has great gas mileage and very economical to maintain. Comfort features not luxurious but power windows and locks are minimum necessities and this car has it. It handles pretty good, I have taken it through some twisty roads at pretty fast pace and it was very responsive, it's a 5 speed manual with a 130 hp 4 cylinder engine. It has a 6 disc CD player and a good sound system. No squeaks or rattles still feels like a new car!!Looks good and is holding up very well, I'd buy another one.
